i don't think any fights that don't involve uk fighters would sell enough ppv in uk to be worthy of them doing it!

I'm thinking Francis has some ground skirmishing power that may be pivotal!

It's not just a matter of who; I'll either pay for one high level (i.e highest level of the sport) competitive match up like Froch vs Groves or Pacquiao vs Mayweather or a selection of lower level fights that are well matched.

I happily paid for allegedly 's magnificent seven bill as it was stacked with competitive match ups - and originally Barker vs Macklin was the headliner. Even without Barker it was still a great card and two of the "home" fighters lost.

Meanwhile Bellew vs Cleverly is the only 50/50 match on the Hearns bill and both fighters can't really claim to be at the highest level of the sport. Granted, they both have fought at the highest level but both were beaten decisively when fighting at that level. The rest of the bouts look horribly predictable.

If you mean pay PPV on top of a sky subscription,then i refuse to pay for any fight,i would probably resort to listening to it on the radio and then watching it on youtube a day or so later.

SKY are already charging too much for their sports anyway without adding to cost through PPV boxing, there is no boxers out there at the moment or fights planned that deserve to go the PPV route

I'm thinking this way as well jack; they can treat us like this because we've gone along with it in the past, it's not on really.

I'm not prepared to pay for any boxing, other than by buying tickets to attend the venue, how it's done now.

I don't watch football, etc... so paying for Sky Sports doesn't stack-up. I'd pay what BN costs as it's a fair price and a good station but not with the subscription you have to pay to Sky or whoever on top.

You should be able to pick and choose exactly what you want to watch and no more, paying for stuff you don't want to watch is ridiculous in my eyes. If every fight was PPV and that was that, I'd pay for every fight I wanted to watch more than I wanted the money in my pocket.

It's just people getting sucked into the hype if they didn't then PPV wouldn't exist.

And boxing fans having to pay much more than everyone else to get all the content is annoying eg UEFA champions league final isn't PPV.

More so when boxing can end with one punch (Khan Prescott) and big fights aren't always the most entertaining eg most of Floyd Mayweathers, Haye Wlad Haye Harrison

I hate the concept of PPV as well. We already pay a subscription to Sky, why the hell should we have to pay for PPV?

It's a bit like Sky Sports saying OK West Brom v Burnley you can watch this week but next week is Chelsea v Arsenal you'll have to pay to view that one.

It's the same concept and it's an absolute disgrace but once again the viewer has to take a large portion of the blame because they pay up. If nobody bought PPV events PPV wouldn't exist. If people act like doormats they can't be surprised if they get walked all over.
