    They are big names you galloot. Chisora is a veteran and been around years, fought against Klitschko, Haye, Fury twice, everyone knows who he is.

    Taylor is a two time gold medallist and one of the top female boxers in the sport, fought on AJ cards in front of millions..... they're obviously not huge names but not bad to have on an undercard..... what do you define as a name?

      So you changed big names to "not huge names". Katie Taylor , you said it, is a Women Boxing and you have to pay for the privallage of watching her....😂😂. Dereck Chisora has been irrelevant since 2012 after he lost to Klitschko. Also lost to a French Cabdriver a couple of months ago. And let's not forget Whyte struggled to beat this same guy in 2016.

      You guys get mugged off badly, and you accept it. Again Britain= Small Country which accepts Medicority.

        A big name isn't a huge name, they're still big names and people know who they are, how is that hard to understand? Taylor has been fighting on big cards and people like watching her.

        Chisora was involved in a FOTY end of 2016 lol Still does high views on IFL TV. Everyone knows Chisoar blows hot and cold, but Takam will be a good fight just watch.

        We get mugged off? hahahaha check your ticket prices for any big fights and your PPV prices, half of them being boring as ****.

        USA is the biggest ripoff country for boxing and why it is dead. You can't fill arenas and the only fighters making good money is a Mexican.

          I'm not from the US.
          Who likes watching women's boxing ? Cos there is something really wrong, when a grown man has a taste to watch women fight. The fact that Katie Taylor can be beaten by a Amateur Male Boxer, tells you all you need to know about Women's Boxing.

          USA is a country of 350M People, UK is 65M. US runs everything in a capitalist format, there has only been 2 PPV's in 2017 they were Mayweather-Mcgregor and GGG-Canelo. GGG-Canelo 2 is the only PPV This year.

          Charging those prices means US will always get the biggest fights as that is where the fighters will earn the most money. Also UK has 6 PPV's a Year at $30, times $30 by 6= $180.

          HBO and Showtime are around $11, Sky Sports is £50 a month, compare the Saturday Fight Nights on SHO and HBO not on PPV compared to Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren Cards. Who really gets mugged off, cos it's not the yanks ?

          You have to pay for meaningless fights such as Haye-Bellew and get shyt like Okolie-Chamberlin on Normal Cards. Hearn tries that in the US, And he will burn and crash and he is already attempting that with the shyt fighters he got

            I only like watching Taylor, Cameron and Marshall in the women's sport.

            When Mayweather/McGregor is considered the best fight, kill me. Also, GGG/Canelo was a crap fight also and a robbery. Terrible for boxing as it will only turn people off the sport having to pay $180 for that shyte, just like Mayweather/Pacquaio. Joshua/Klitschko beats both of them for $25.

            what are the 6 PPV's? Haye/Bellew, Joshua/Parker, Whyte/Parker, Joshua/Povetkin all £19.95..... Groves/Eubank was £10, so was Usyk/Gassiev....... a lot less than $180..... Those 6 come to $131.24.... so you're about $50 out there, you could add another 2 PPV's nearly at $26.26 for that, for the same price as Mayweather/McGregor and GGG/Canelo.... ripoff.

            I pay £7 p/m for BT sport online and get international fights as well as Frank Warren cards, Lomachenko, Pacquaio, Crawford etc just recently. I don't have Sky sports, but people that do buy it for premier league. You don't have to be be a subscriber to buy PPV events, non-issue.

            All a load of nonsense about nothing, just pick and choose what fights you are interested in personally, and find the best deals. Most pubs and bars show the fights and PPV events. I will just nip round for the Chisora/Takam, Whyte/Parker fights. I've only bought one PPV on Sky and that was AJ/Klitschko, and get BT sport with my broadband.

            If you think the US pricing is beneficial to the sport or fighters then that's a bad thing. People in the U.K support our own, America does not. We can get behind guys like Whyte due to their story's, it's not all about the best or elite fighters.... I'm happy he's getting a payday personally, even if I'm not buying it.

              Ppv is by choice and it doesn't cost too much here so it's adorable even to casuals and everybody is happy.
              I get that it isn't as expensive as PPVs are in the states, but these types of fights should still be on Sky sports not PPV. Sure it is good for the fighters, but don't you sign up for Sky sports to get fights like Whyte/Parker? I mean when Brook fights a legitimate opponent it will be PPV, same with Khan and AJ, and apparently with Whyte as well. So are you getting on regular Sky? Why even subscribe to Sky then? Why not just purchase all the PPVs?

              All this is assuming you subscribe to Sky for boxing and not other sports btw.

                SKY Sports is HOW much per month????? No f'n way. I'm guessing that's mainly for the EPL? Wow.

                  the UK fans are not complaining, in fact we are happy supporting our own and the ppv is affordable.
                  I am not a promoter, so I don't decide which fight should be on ppv. I only pay for it if I find it interesting.

                    No way Whyte is a PPV fighter.

                    His best win was Chisora.

                    This card should be just part of the SKY sports subscription.

                    I can't see many people hyped to pay £20 for this weak a$$ card.
