    Wow that's PPV over there? Is that the main event or is it an undercard of a better fight? Can't believe that's PPV, how much are they expecting that to sell? Will it even get to at least 97k? I doubt it. Or is the PPV a typo in the title?

      Yeah it's a PPV, hard to be sure how much it'll get but yeah I would expect it to be over 97K. Apparently Bellew-Cleverly II did well, the British public seem to be suckers for this kind of thing in recent years. Hard to be sure of exact numbers as they don't release them.

        unfortunatly so. Its worth remembering that its only £15-20 for most PPV's over here. still ridiculous.

        I used to laugh at NZ having Joseph Parker on PPV but we are now doing the exact same thing. Sky spunked £5 billion or so on rights to the premier league and now boxing increasingly has to pay for itself.

          It'll probably do well unfortunately. Casuals have bought into the Joshua hype - he's basically a household name now.

            Sky put in 5billion euro for Soccer and will now pay less for boxers? That's so strange, because right now it's a time where UK has more champions than I ever remembered. It's weird that they will not show more support now. No wonder some popular UK fighters are heading over to Al Haymon.

              I guess the general public sees a body builder KOing bums and is intrigued. He seems like he could be legit, but still has a lot of questions to answer.

                I would pay for this card.

                It's enormous. I didn't even realize it before yesterday but there are some good fights on.

                Joshua-Whyte, Bellow-Masternak, Eubank-O'Sullivan, Mitchell-Barosso, Malignaggi, Luke Campbell, Josh Warrington, Dereck Chisora...

                Of course not all top notch fights, but definitely worth £15 to me.

                But we all know they stacked the card to make it PPV - Which is snaky.

                    Does eddie retweet boxingscene posts?

                    I can't see how anyone can say this is not a good card. Imagine Kell Brook could have fought on it as well.

                    I would pay for it.
