I've changed my mind and will be buying it, no blockbuster main event but plenty to be interested in

I will.
I hate PPV, I think its a disgrace you need to pay extra on top of your Sky subscription. The last few years I have only bought Mayweather vs Pacquio- however, it didn't change anything. Hearn still serves up horrendous non PPV standard events. I have nothing else planned for Saturday, and even if I did it would cost more than £20 so I will just buy it and accept that if I wish to follow boxing I need to compromise my morals.

It is a shame though to be fair to Tyler his style of boxing wasn't going g to make for a long career, he was in some great scraps but carrying on like that for years would do his health no good long term.

Best of luck to him :salut:

No I will watch it though, no way is it PPV worthy. Not many are.

Thing is people buying it is the problem

If people don't fall for the hype and pay for these things they won't be PPV.

Really hope this bombs as Sky are shafting boxing fans big time here.

Really is disgraceful

Spoke to a couple of casuals this evening - their interest in Joshua was astonishing

Both weren't sure if they were buying the PPV yet, but it was mainly because they didn't know the weekend plans, not because they thought it was a rip off

This is the selling point
I've also found this. I was playing snooker last night and a few people were trying to tell me how good johnson was and how they were looking forward to this.

Therefore, i am now hoping the joshua hype train gets derailed via a spectacular ko soon. With him onboard, hearn has an asset to turn a night to ppv.

My main problem with this card is that none of the fights will result in anyone being considered as the no1 in the division yet we're forrking out extra for it. They should be 3 separate shows.

Just to confirm,I'm in the no camp

Edit-its not gonna make a difference what the hcores do anyway as I reckon the casuals will lap this up being cup final day aswell there will be plenty of groups of lads ordering it I'd think
It clashes with the cup final though

Nope - didn't buy Bellew v Cleverley II, didn't buy the snoozefest that was Mayweather v Pacquaio, and am not buying this. As I mentioned in a previous thread, this is basically 3 decent Saturday night free-to-air cards welded into one big card.

I'm veering more towards Spike TV at the moment.

Only a couple of hours, and may miss some decent fights. But hey ho. I'd like to reward the promoter who is giving us free fights.

Yes I think it's a tuck up but I will buy it as I am a big Brook fan and I want to see the fight live.

I do really want to watch the fights but out of principle I won't cave and will watch it down the river.

I was hoping to go out, but none of my mates are available to go and watch it. So no choice for me, I'll be buying it

it is a great show in fairness so you should have a top night out.

It's the fact Hearn has made everything else this year terrible to make this show good which has got on people's nerves.
