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.

It's two British title level fights as the feature bouts

But they're good fights. Whatever piece of metal that's attached to it, I don't really care.

I'm talking about the level of the fights. They are domestic level fights.

Two heavyweight prospects fighting for a British title and two guys who lost to Billy Joe Saunders is not PPV

It doesn't tell the whole story, and if it was only those two fights, I'd agree. But the whole thing is massive - Too big probably.

I remember going through the Fury Chisora 2 card with BJS and Eubank jr on too. Holy hell, that was a loooong card.

This is similar so I'm not sure the timing will be perfect for all - but I would pay for it.

I'd honestly rather pay for 5-6 good fights than one good fight with no card even if its a world title fight.

It's massive....ly ****.

I can't believe you actually used Malignaggi and Bellew as reasons to buy this crap.

It's sets a dangerous precedence to allow Hearn to think he can get away with charging people extra for this.

I have 2 rules in life.

Never pay for Pu55y.

Never pay for a Matchroom PPV.

Just kidding, I pay for both...regularly.

There does seem to be a downward trend on what he's willing to package as an 'event' worthy of us spending extra cash on. I like pay-per-view to meet at least one of two criteria:

a) A legitimate pay-per-view fighter.

b) An actual pay-per-view bout.

This, like some of the previous show's that Matchroom have put on, has neither.

Kelll Brook is on the cusp but needs to be involved in box office bouts.

I'm gonna put my hand in my pocket, as I always do when Eddie trys fondling my wallet, and toddle on down to the book store. This time Donald McRae can have some of my pennies for his new effort on Emile Griffith.

Hearn's mediocre in multiple isn't cutting it for me.

I mentioned them. The Bellew fight is pretty good. There are some good fights there and I'm getting psyched about Joshua Whyte.

Of course I would prefer to break these fights up and not having to pay for them. But at face value I would pay.

The first time Joshua is actually fighting someone who is going to try to punch him back and we have to pay. It'll still probably only last a couple of rounds.

All his fights are going to be PPV from now on.

Even Khan had faced tougher tests before they put the Prescott fight on PPV.
