Parker / Wardley as a PPV is the reason I'm letting my DAZN subscription lapse.

After following boxing for 30+ years I am now done. £25 for a PPV with no doubt an undercard of fighters casuals wont know. It's getting ridiculous now.

ok - 3 things
1/ Gerbasi by all accounts left an impression on the world and will be much mourned. He cared for other writers and his family. But he seemed to neglect himself judging by photos. He was writing about extremely fit and conditioned individuals - a conundrum. I'll leave it there.
2/ £25 is too much. Invest in a stick. But maybe they had to charge that much to cover the fighters purse demands?
3/ I was a real film buff in my youth. Now I'm lost. I hadn't heard of those 3 films mentioned in the first paragraph. Any other suggestions along the same lines?
