what fights in uk are worthy of PPV ?

[thatllbeme]

Quigg v Frampton?
Degale v Groves?
Khan v Brook?
Joshua v Price?

[johnswan1]

If DeGale-Groves I and Cleverly-Bellew II can be PPV, then all of those would be too. Joshua and Price are still prospects so a fight between them would be the least worthy given the others could all be considered to be at world level.

[pyenest77]

Maybe the Quigg v Frampton fight would cost a lot more to make than Bellew v Cleverly so they would have to have a less stacked undercard. fornicate me was there any point whatsoever in making all those mismatches & trying to sell them as legit 50/50 fights?

[mullenman]

Any Carl Froch Fight
David haye v any top heavyweight
Brook V marquez, Khan or any unification
quigg v frampton should not be ppv and bellew will never be ppv again even if he faces captain huck,

[sweetscience]

ANY Froch fight

Khan v Brook

END !

[Ketchel]

I already PPV my Sky. Why should I pay more to watch domestic dustups? What is this bullshit of the fights can't be made without PPV money? Like is PPV revenue guaranteed? After the weekend's absymal card are people going to stump up hard earned cash for similar fare in future? If thats the way its going to go we might as well look for another sport sorry business to watch.

[digzee]

I'm sorry but Froch vs Chavez jnr in Vegas isn't PPV, it would be on at a stupid time and wouldn't be competitive, i'm not gonna pay just for a big name it needs to be competitive and on at a decent time.
Brook vs Khan
Froch vs GGG (at the city ground)
Frampton vs Quigg

Those are the ones I want to see, didn't someone say SKY want Eddie to put on 3 next year? If so he will have to space them out through the year so does that mean Coyle vs Campbell becomes the first PPV fight of the year with a "stacked" undercard as he said it will most likely be a stadium fight in May. I don't think they will have a PPV before then as they want this one to be forgotten first. Then Hopefully Brook vs Khan will on later in the year and it depends what happens with Froch if he retires or not.

[danamba7]

Brook V Khan is the obvious one. 2 exciting and genuine world level fighters who really don't like each other.

[sweetscience]

Quigg v Frampton isn't PPV worthy

Quigg just isn't good enough, and would get beat very easily of Frampton

[palooka]

I'm going cold turkey on ppv; I'm getting pissed at being milked; I'm considering quitting SKY sports, I'll keep the Warren channel as it is good value. The way the sport is going for viewers in the UK is not satisfactory, if I were buying a product from a shop I'd not stand for the same behaviour. I'm trying to be more assertive in my dealings with people and I may just cut back on the boxing (a 30 year pleasure and interest) and have a look at different sports, or maybe take one up myself.

[jackukmma]

Realistically there is a lot.

Any Froch fight.
DeGale V Groves
Quigg v Framption
Brook v Khan/JMM/Pacqaiou
Joshua v Price(with a big co main, Bellew v Huck?)
Haye v Any decent heavy
Mayweather v Pacman
Khan v Mayweather/Pacman
Fury v Joshua

Then there is the possibility of them doing a "stacked show" PPV with something like Selby v Warrington or Quigg v Rigo headlining

[palooka]

I think that the powers that be have won the argument when there are so many people prepared to pay extra on top of the SKY subscription.

I dunno, mate. I do get where you're coming from, and I'm more than happy to boycott sub-par PPVs like I did on Saturday. But very occasionally I'd say if PPV is genuinely the only way a fight can be made, I'll probably buy it.

[palooka]

I've no major axe to grind other than ppv used to be for mega fights or at least a really meaningful bout; it doesn't seem to be the case anymore and I really can't see what i pay SKY sports subscription for as someone who only views boxing. I'm not even sure if it's the money that bothers me so much or the feeling I'm taken for a fool and for granted.

I understand what you mean. Sky Sports is a rip off for anyone, never mind just boxing fans. I still pay for it so I'm part of the problem but Matchroom have most of my favourite domestic fighters and I hate watching shite streams online. If Sky just decided to compete with BN for overseas fights, it would all of a sudden become slightly more reasonable.

[reggaereggae]

Not sure if the OP meant UK fights, featuring a UK fighter, or just worthy of PPV in UK. I've gone for first choice...

Definites

Haye - Fury
Brook - Khan
Cleverly - Bellew 3
Haye - Joshua in a year's time / 18 months
Price - Fury

Maybes

Froch - Degale
Degale - Groves
Frampton - Quigg
Price - Joshua

Ps one of those in a ringer.....can you spot it?

Who the hell would wanna pay to watch Coyle vs campbell?! Lol

[lillywhite14]

Quigg v Frampton?
Degale v Groves?
Khan v Brook?
Joshua v Price?

In an ideal world you would have two of these potential match ups on any British PPV.

Brook v Khan could well be built on its own.

As mentioned above, if Bellew and Clev can called PPV then all of these can but I would not rather work off that. Bellew/Clev is the worst ppv of all time, and I think it will remain. Shocking fight for ppv and poor card all round.

[palooka]

To be ppv the card should be linked to a big fight card in the states, apart from Froch the UK hasn't got any bone fide ppv boxers; Froch is well into his career and is a proven fighter - even Khan cannot justify a £17 charge. I'd want to see a decent card and then a big bout from the US.

Not me but Eddie seems to think its a massive fight with all the talk of 'its a stadium fight', if he's being told to do 3 PPV's next year, and Froch retires, then I wouldn't be surprised if he greases up all the casuals and goes balls deep inside them again.

[WelshJack]

Selby v Warrington could be if Selby beats Gradovich I think.

[Rexob]

Just had a worthy PPV event.

[brian13]

Any Froch fight
Any fight where a big name comes over , IE Juan Manuel Marquez
Fury / Joshua
Brook / Khan
Groves / DeGale II - If its a unification fight
Mayweather or Pacquiao against any British fighter

[palooka]

Just had a worthy PPV event.

I did the same mate, cancelled sky in January and never missed it once everything's available elsewhere without bending over.
