    Usyk v Chisora. Worst PPV from top to bottom?

    This whole PPV card is absolutely terrible for a PPV.

    Allen fight cancelled. I’m not saying Dave Allen fighting makes or breaks a PPV but at least it might’ve been a decent heavyweight scrap.

    All that’s left is a probable mismatch of a headliner. Then Lee Selby fighting some other fringe contender for a mandatory position in a division where they’re nowhere near enough to win a world title.

    2 women’s fights and some domestic level fights that nobody cares about.

    To be fair to Eddie Hearn he often has decent undercards, But this one is a stinker.

    Anybody buying it?

    It’s absolutely dreadful. When I saw that Lee Selby was in the penultimate fight my heart sank.

    As with so many boxing cards I’ll only be tuning in to the main event

        Yeah it’s disgraceful.

        Sky sports/Matchroom since the start of 2017...

        As part of their Sky subscription have shown only 4 UK based world title fights.

        During that same 4 year time period they have staged 21 (TWENTY ONE!) PPV’s.

        I’m honestly not surprised by any of their sh** anymore.

          I watched Bilal Laggoune spar in Miami a few years ago. Can’t wait to see him fight tonight. I know most people don’t know who he is though. I’m just as excited to see him fight as I am the main event. Can’t wait. And I’m a big fan of Chisora and Usyk

            I'm not a UK guy but Del Boy seems like more of a brand name in the UK than he could ever be in the US with his success in the ring. And Usyk is a p4p discussed guy. So I get the main event.

            The co-main seems like a competitive fight.

            The 3rd string CW fight looks like it could be competitive too.

            The rest of the card seems pretty whatever for a UK undercard which in the US is standard, but for the UK is less than standard.

            Eh, every card can't be a home run.

              Way too many PPVs. Wasn’t Whyte vs Rivas a PPV? Utterly disgraceful I’m that idiot who bought it

                So many... anything half decent is on PPV these days. The standard of PPV in this country has majorly declined in the last 4/5 years.

                    I’m interested to see how DAZN UK will work. Garcia vs Campbell is a solid fight
