    Sky must cancel PPV now

    It was a stretch for a PPV before the cancellation of the Cleverly fight, now it's a ****ing joke. PPV for a British title fight. No thanks. I don't care how much they hate each other. Unless one of them was guaranteed to die in the ring, why should I pay for it.

    Sky should put it on one of there normal sports channels. If they don't, I will stream the fight. I suggest everyone does the same.

    I dont get it, all the bootleg PPV from USA Big Cards SKY or ESPN UK Shows for free. but for your local fights you have to pay money? I always wondered how they made it possible so HBO/Showtime PPV's are free in England.

      No way are sky going to cancel the PPV.

      This card probably cost them in the region of £1m + to put on. They are going to want to see some money for it.

        You'd pay to watch someone die in the ring?

          They won't cancel the PPV. They know plenty of casuals be ****** into the Groves - Degale grudge match, and how they supposedly despite of one another. It will still do good numbers.

              Serious? THats crazy if true. I would find it horrible and disturbing to watch someone die in the ring.

              I agree with all other posters, this shouldnt be PPV. I know its a grudge match and what not but there isnt any world title involved and neither of them are contenders, just prospects. I'll find a stream and spend my £14.99 on some beer maybe.

                    Yeh I got a horrible feeling your right. The ****** thing is Warren knows us brits are pumped for the degale fight so he'll probably claw enough back through the PPV numbers on that alone.

                    I'm not saying it was dodgy but I wondered why nearly all the pre fight coverage on Sky was Degale Groves considering it was another potential Brit world champ. Do you think Warren knew the german would likely pull out and is hoping he is stripped?? Clev himself said he suspected it.

                    Anyhow I will buy the PPV even though I'm raging (rather than watch a steam on a 16" monitor I want to watch in 50" HD.)
