Klitschko v Fury - Live on Sky Box Office

[earsjohn]

Just been confirmed, with Kell Brook v Diego Chaves in a dual-site show.

Inevitable.

Real shame I hate the concept of PPV certainly will not be paying. This fight would have been massive on terrestrial TV.

Its not a close fight like Haye v Wlad was in fact at the time I was convinced Haye would smash him. I would say 70/30 Wlad.

[Happy Slapper]

Legit PPV fight in my opinion and I'll buy it. Bellend v Clev and Brook v Gavin weren't and Sky are suffering a hangover from those two.

[sweetscience]

yeah.. legit PPV

no complaints from me

[reggaereggae]

Will it be PPV on German tv? Better chance of a good stream

Haha, my thoughts exactly

Saying that, I probably will buy this one. I definitely want to watch the Fury fight & think the Brook fight will be enjoyable enough. I'd only end up going down the pub & spending a fortune on drinks anyway, it's not like the Brook-Gavin or Bellew-Cleverly PPVs where I couldn't give a toss if I watched it or not.

[MightyWarrior]

Likely free TV in Germany, RTL, as it is just another routine defence.

[milpool]

I'm a mug...I've bought pretty much every Sky PPV in the last 3 to 4 years. Nobody's forcing me of course, I just always cave in at the last minute.

[PredatorHayds]

This is a legit PPV. I'm happy to pay for this one.

Same here. Like everyone else Id rather all boxing was free to air, but for £20 or whatever to watch an evenings world championship live boxing.... there are worse ways to spend your money.

Yes. Big men tend to draw the fight game into public consciousness more than the other weight-categories, seemingly. I think some people must think only "big" men can really fight. This would have drawn a crowd.
I wouldn't go near it on PPV. They'd do well conduct themselves more respectfully towards one another - in fact, I would excuse Wlad from that statement. Whether he has had fights fall through on him or not, Fury would do his profile more good if he afforded the multiple world champion and excellent athlete a little bit of respect.

I'll buy it , I don't buy many PPVs but this will be on at a normal time not 4am and I'm interested to see how fury will cope at the top level . the fight could be over in the first but I think Tyson might be able to make it interesting if he doesn't get tagged early and boxes southpaw which seems to bother wlad

[jaymitch81]

Any idea on what other fights may be added to the bill?

[handsofstone]

Never happy to pay for PPV but it is PPV worthy in this day and age,Fury-Klitschko has been building for a few years now,im glad their both on same channel so wont have to choose which one to watch

[rd350lc]

I reckon people are going to be very dissapointed in a short nights work for Klitschko, but all the shinanagens ( if that's how you spell it ) in the lead up to the fight at press conferences etc will be worth a watch .

[forcefraser]

Will the Brook fight be on first?

[ThereByTheGrace]

Refuse to give sky my money. But I will watch it!

[ScottDetonator]

Doesn't it get on your goat that Sky come in and pick up this fight and charge us?

I think the last time Fury fought on Sky was against McDermott back in 2010 - thinking it about it, Sky may have shown Hopkins-Pascal that Fury was on the undercard of?

Would've been fantastic if ITV or Ch5 would have been able to show it live but I suppose the PPV platform does at least allow anyone with Sky/Virgin/TalkTalk etc. to buy the fight.

I'm guessing it will be free-to-air in Germany, possibly on RTL in HD. That stinks a little when I have Virgin and will have to shell out £20 to watch the fight legally on PPV in SD.

All the crap aside, I'm looking forward to a great spectacle.

Just been confirmed, with Kell Brook v Diego Chaves in a dual-site show.

Is it me, or is like the third time it's been confirmed? I'm sure we've all known this for more than a month.

I know how anybody could forget this epic event is unbelievable?

[ILikeBeer]

I'm debating whether to buy this one.

I wouldn't mind watching Klitschko vs Fury, but let's face it, Fury has very little chance of winning. It's not quite the gross mismatch that Haye vs Audley, but I can't see any way Fury wins.

I like Kell Brook, and would watch his fight. But is Diego Chaves a really PPV level opponent for Brook?

I'm tempted to watch it in one of the pubs that will show it. Which knowing me, will lead me to spend more than £15 on beer. That's fine, because I'm not giving it to Hearn. And I'm getting a sort of night out from it. But the real problem is, if it's anything like the time I watched Haye vs Chisora in a pub, I'll likely not be able to move.

[jtourettes]

Not PPV worthy, will not buy. Might possibly try and find a stream.

I reckon if Fury gets a bit of success with what ever plan/strategy they have, it might just inspire him to victory but I think one thing is for sure it might just end in mayhem!

[mullenman]

Great fight.

I'll be at it but it's definitely ppv

[Cholo_cws]

Where does that old line that goes "it needs to be PPV otherwise these fights can't get made" fit in for Sky here?
