UK Fans: Which PPV this weekend or none?

[NEETzsche]

I'll be watching Frampton vs Warrington. Higher calibre fight with a deeper undercard

Which one will you watch, buy etc?..

I'm actually not sure whether to buy any of them. Usually i buy any PPV event just because it's not that expensive here and don't mind staying in for a night of boxing, but not sure any of these fighters can justify headlining PPV events.

I don't mind both fights. I think Warrington v Frampton is good but not sure it's PPV worthy.

Chisora v Whyte was a great tear up last time, but not sure it's worthy of PPV either. Would've made a great event on normal Sky Sports channels but neither have proven they are top fighters that should be headlining PPV's.

I probably will end up buying one when it comes to saturday but not sure which.

I’m going to Frampton-Warrington. But neither is PPV worthy, especially Whyte-Chisora, that’s not even a top level fight.
At the very least Frampton-Warrington is a former 2 weight world champion against a current world champion. Whyte-Chisora is a fight between two guys who’ve lost for British titles.
It’s frankly embarrassing for British boxing that this level of boxing is PPV.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Pretty weak that those 2 fights are PPV in the UK. I know that Brits complain about the price of PPVs in the US, but there's 2 or 3 PPVs a year and it has to be a considered a big fight to be put on PPV here. Those 2 fights would be regular Showtime fights or not shown at all.

I’d much prefer your PPV quality in relation to price compared to ours. The level of PPV’s in this country are embarrassing. Imagine putting fighters the level of Whyte-Chisora on premium PPV in the US. It would be laughable

The Parker/Whyte wasn't even big enough to get picked up by a network here. Brook/Gavin PPV in the UK must have been what every Brit wanted. That is why I find it funny when Hearn tries to compare UK PPV to US PPV numbers. BY UK standards, Thurman/Porter, Thurman/Garcia, Garcia/Porter, Loma/Linares, Wilder/Ortiz an so on would be PPV fights over there.

It's only a third of the price, who cares. Both are arguably top 10 guys and both are likely to put on a show.

And there's some good fights on the undercard, not high level I admit but Price v Little, Buatsi v Quinlan, Rosales v Edwards and Belotti v Walsh should be competitive fights.

I don't mind Frampton or Warrington but heavyweight fights trump featherweight fights all day.

Brook/Gavin was one of the best value for money PPVs of the last few years, had 3 world title fights on it and Joshua.

You can get all those fights off PPV because the networks pay millions in license fees. UK, Sky and BT pay in the low hundred thousands for a card.

You like a lot of fans have such a deluded opinion of its only “£x” it’s about QUALITY.
As fans we should be demanding QUALITY.
Whyte-Chisora is NOT QUALITY level boxing.

Berto-Ortiz 2 would have been PPV over here. Our standard of boxing is pathetic. We have premium cards over here headlined by Joe Cordina vs Sean Dodd, Okolie vs Chamberlain etc. It’s embarrassing.

Hearn is just a salesman, unfortunately loads of gullible people buy into his BS, all the genuine British boxing fans see straight through him

This is what makes me question Hearn/Matchroom when they tell you how much all our fighters are making compared to US fighters.

Seems like he’s lying...👀

I'd rather 6 good PPVs a year than 3 great ones.

More boxing = good
Less boxing = bad

Whyte v Chisora doesn't happen without PPV money and Sky's investment into boxing doesn't continue without PPVs.

It's very easy to sit there and shout quality but who is ever putting on quality PPVs these days? You're being unrealistic. Boxers are making more money than ever and it's because of the PPV format (for now).

And Whyte v Chisora IS top quality boxing. Two guys in the top 10 on the fringe of a title shot.
