    Are the Brits poor?

    Why do I have to see them complain so hard about Usyk-Joshua II being a couple bucks more than usual and 10 bucks for Canelo-GGG III? That's like 10 American dollars, right?

    They always get a better deal than the USA. The whole world gets a better deal, most countries show boxing for free while in the USA it's PPV.

    I don't think they are poor, but after the price is raised once it will surely continue to raise until they are paying some 50 or 60 British pounds for a fight they used to watch for 10. They know where this is headed.

      I thought this thread would be about their putrid lime teeth, and nasty food.

        No we are not poor. The people who complain loudly on social media, forums and YouTube (about any topic) are not representative of the general population.

          You have by far the worse obesity problem. I've been to America four times and saw fat slobs everywhere.

              The issue with the Canelo vs GGG is that’s it’s on a platform that said ‘PPV is dead’ but is now putting on cards at 4am and expecting additional monies.

              Not cool

                Good. I'm a northern European, I have a terrible time in the sun.

                  Just don't buy it then. It's obvious why PPV is still needed to make big fights, DAZN just had to catch up to that reality. But the good news is no one has to buy it, just listen on the radio.

                    Exactly. It’s a matter of principle. A lot of people seemingly missed the point.
