Actually i thought Eddie has one of if not the best deals Sky has done when handing out the contracts for boxing content.righthook wrote:As for the taxi reference you made, it is completely different mate a better comparison would be because you pay for a bus pass should you be able to ride a train with it?
Sky sports give eddie peanuts for boxing so he can't have good shows without Ppv,

Just read on Current Scene that this fight has been picked up by a US broadcaster (AWE?). Should make it nice & easy to find a stream

Agree it's a much better bill but Gavin v skeete is not a 50/50 fight ! It's 70/30 at leastThereByTheGrace wrote:I totally agree, I think allegedly with outlast him, part of me hopes he does to be honest. The Card the week after has 3 50/50s) Fury/Chis, BJS/Junior and Gavin/Skeete.

I just can't see this show selling on PPV in anywhere near decent numbers. Literally no-one I know outside a couple of hardcore boxing fan mates has mentioned a single thing about the show. If a show is going to sell then a real buzz needs to be generated and the average man on the street who knows bugger all about boxing needs to buy it in decent numbers. I can't see that happening here.

Funny that it has been the opposite for me, I work in a place with over 6000 workers and all the people who are so called non boxing fans are talking about it all the time. Saying they can't wait, where as the people I know who are hard core fans are moaning and saying they won't buy it .
I don't know how it will pan out Ppv numbers wise but I think on the last week when they hype it all up allot of people will end up buying it just to bring the lads over and have a few drinks and make a day of it.

Genuine question here....are you telling the truth? I don't know where you work but I'm guessing Liverpool or wales? sorry if that's an assumption but genuinely that seems far fetched.righthook wrote:SteveDow wrote:I just can't see this show selling on PPV in anywhere near decent numbers.

I live in London and I no one I know (casual fans) are actually that bothered and certainly won't be paying for it.
its a decent scrap that shouldn't be on PPV. I won't be buying it, no way.
Re: Cleverly Vs. Bellew II - £16.95 on SKY Sports Box Office

Must admit I'm surprised Sky aren't advertising this very heavily at the moment - I don't remember seeing any adverts for it??? (Saying that, I never pay attention to adverts so apologies if I've just missed them all

Re: Cleverly Vs. Bellew II - £16.95 on SKY Sports Box Office
I can't make my mind up which result I would prefer :
either, Clev to win by undisputable KO (clearly I don't want anybody to get hurt, just not a disputable stoppage like Froch/Groves 1).
or, Clev to win by a contentious points decision (as this would be mental torture for Bellew for the rest of his life).

Re: Cleverly Vs. Bellew II - £16.95 on SKY Sports Box Office
Na a contentious one would be easier to bare for Bellew rather than a clear points loss because he would be able to convince himself that he really won in the first instance. With the second he wouldnt be able to kid himself.bripez wrote:I can't make my mind up which result I would prefer :
