UK Fans: Which PPV this weekend or none?

[FinitoxDinamita]

Of course Frampton-Warrington.

You paid all that money to watch all those fights. We paid for the 2 PPV fights and if a UK fight is big enough to be shown here we catch it on one of the US networks. All those fights weren't on PPV here, most of those you could catch on DAZN for another $20 or ESPN for Frampton/Warrington.

The only reason those fights aren't picked up in the US is because of geography. You can't show them prime time and live so of course there's not much clamour or interest for them. And in this year's examples in particular none of the fighters are US based anyway

Yeah, really adds up.

10 cards to 2 for $80 extra. I'd say that's good value. Most of these fights wouldn't have happened if not for PPV. Fighters would fight more infrequently and against lesser opposition.

So you just showed you guys have to pay more for PPV fights. Why are you comparing it that way when you exclude fights like Porter/Garcia, Wilder/Ortiz, Lara/Hurd, Lomachenko/Linares, Lomachenko/Rigo, LSC/Mares, LSC, Frampton, Thurman/Porter, Thurman/Garcia, Stevenson/Jack, etc the last few years taking place on non-PPVs? We get more quality than a lot of your PPVs on either SHO/ESPN/CBS/etc. Not like you guys are getting better fights that are going on PPV. It's just any decent fight goes on PPV. Like Degale/Jack was on SHO. If that fight took place in the UK, no chance that it doesn't go on PPV.

And the fact a lot of those fights don't happen if they aren't on PPV is a problem. Like how the hell does Chisora/Whyte or Parker/Whyte not take place without PPV? That makes no sense. The license fees that networks like SKY put on are trash it seems. Now, high license fees stateside makes the promoters not care as much of the live gate, so you guys definitely get MUCH better crowds. I respect that about the UK for sure.

I'm ordering the Frampton fight and streaming the Whyte/Chisora one. The reason is that after 5 days you can download the Whyte/Chisora fights so I can add them to my collection whereas if I don't order and record the Frampton fight, I won't ever get it.
