As much as it’s a farce in boxing terms (they aren’t boxers no matter how hard they train bless them) can you really blame someone for picking up on the hype and making money from it? The amount of kids that will want to watch this shower of shit will be huge.
Money talks.
Don't buy it if you aren't interested? This will sell very well for what it is.
Think this has been driven more by Eddie Hearn, his son.
It's not for me but obviously people are interested in it because they made a lot of money last time.
Some things are just aimed at other people, no point getting annoyed by them.
A bit like people’s choices of political parties wouldn’t you say 🤣🤣?Quote:

Like CB said, some things are just aimed at other people.
Not really as that has a genuine impact on people's lives.Quote:

Everyone else would have switch over anyway the moment it came on so see no harm in it really, it's not like you are being asked to pay for something that you would legitimately expect to be included in a sports package.
Billy Joe Saunders is fighting on the undercard as is Devin Hanley (who will probably smash up Lee Selby in the near future) so there’s 2 good boxers on the card. Not that I’d personally pay PPV for those 2.Quote:

Fair point on the undercard, didn't realise there was an actual event happening as well as the shitshow main event.Quote:

You can’t have a single fight on a whole PPV card :hehe:Quote:

You could though. Who's paying for it? They wont give a shit about the actual fights. It's milking idiots. Which I'm fine with ( but for the fair point that people who have already paid for sky sports might legitimately expect and want to see the actual boxing that evening).Quote:

They just want to see their YouTube heroes scrapping. They will either pay £20 for that or they won't, but the existence of an undercard here is an irrelevance to those that will actually stump up for the PPV here.Quote:

There’s enough on the card for others to have an interest in the event as well, I know several people who are looking forward to the fights on the undercard, yes the YouTube lot are bringing big hype I’ve already said that.Quote:

Hearn was on the radio the other day saying he avoided the first time these two fought (last year) but after seeing the reaction couldn't miss the oportunity this time around.Quote:

If I’m out on the piss and go back to a mates house I’ll try my best, if I’m at home sober I’ll try and wake up and catch it on the fire stick but I can’t say I’m too disappointed if I fall back to sleep.Quote:
