Are You Buying The Anthony Joshua vs. Dominic Breazeale PPV?

A simple Yes or No will suffice, but reasons would also be good.

gilgamesh · Post by **gilgamesh** » 17 Jun 2016, 16:34

Considering it'll be shown on Showtime here in the United States, no I'm most certainly not...but I wouldn't have been buying it anyway. It'll be another easy win for Joshua.

Ah, interesting. That will probably make it easier for UK viewers to find a stream then?

in the era of streaming got to be crazy to. However, I do not know what streaming is or as a matter of fact do not possess any water to stream.

Usually when they do fights out of the U.K., they just plug into the feed from over there. The Showtime crew commentators will discuss the fight a few minutes, and then it'll cut to the video feed of the British Broadcast.

No it just doesn't excite me that much

Rexob · Post by **Rexob** » 17 Jun 2016, 16:54

I'm not even streaming the fight, just wait until it's on Youtube, it's a nothing fight and will be another 2 round blowout, waste of time, until maybe he fights the best heavyweight around in Fury next year or the year after?

Oiky · Post by **Oiky** » 17 Jun 2016, 17:01

i'll probably watch it, not going to be anything to write home about i doubt, but won't pay for it

chad · Post by **chad** » 17 Jun 2016, 17:02

Not going to bother. AJ win the main event in another blowout. The fight I'm interested in is Martin Murray Vs. George Groves but not interested enough to part with my cash.

Will download the 2 fights on Sunday morning from one of the boxing torrent sites. Tend not to search for the videos on YouTube due to spoilers. I don't know why people post their videos with titles like "Joshua stops Breazeale in round 2".

This would have been a solid Saturday Fight Night on SKY Sports.

If I've got a spare five minutes I'll watch the ring walks, fight and interviews on YouTube the next day.

Ian1973 · Post by **Ian1973** » 17 Jun 2016, 17:21

Reasons? Really? To watch Joshua knock over another tin can?

The Murray v Groves fight will be decent but I'll wait and watch it on youtube.

Stuarty · Post by **Stuarty** » 17 Jun 2016, 17:23

I'm not buying this one. It's a shambles. I'll stream it on Kodi but if it's a crap stream I'm not too bothered. There are only two fights that I'm not 100% sure of the outcome on the whole card (Groves/Murray and Hibbert fights) and that's hardly PPV worthy.

DannyMCR · Post by **DannyMCR** » 17 Jun 2016, 17:39

Absolutely NOT.

The only fight I'm remotely interested in is Groves/Murray, which I won't be paying £17 for.

Snap !

Considering the money they have available for the card its a disgrace of an undercard because Breazeale isn't costing much. Eubank should be facing Jacobs and 1 more world title fight like DeGale-Bute or Crolla-Linares. Groves-Murray is ok but not enough to justify paying £17 when the rest of the card is so average and the main event is not competitive.

Should be otherwise you can Skype me and watch me drink beer while watching

foxdog1923 · Post by **foxdog1923** » 17 Jun 2016, 19:26

Would if I could. Just live stream it.

RJP · Post by **RJP** » 17 Jun 2016, 19:28

Groves v Murray is an interesting fight but not worth £17. I'll try streaming but won't lose sleep if I can't.

CaptainSpacerod · Post by **CaptainSpacerod** » 17 Jun 2016, 20:04

Yep, only to see Groves Murray.

Streams are all well n good as a last resort but they're generally a pain in the arse. I'd sooner pay the money and relax.

Wales · Post by **Wales** » 17 Jun 2016, 23:11

I've got an android box with full sky package including sports ppvs for free so won't have to pay.
If I didn't have that I'd probably intend not to buy it then cave in on the day and buy it.

veriton · Post by **veriton** » 18 Jun 2016, 01:45

I'm not buying it, it's a poor card. Better things to spend money on than this dross. Murray v groves is a solid fight but not ppv and the rest are mismatches. Euros on anyway so plenty to watch. If England top their group then first knockout game is next Saturday night so who wants to watch a weak boxing show?

Supremo · Post by **Supremo** » 18 Jun 2016, 02:02

I never bought the AJ vs Martin PPV because I was on holiday. If I'd have been here I would have complained about it and then bought it and I've reluctantly bought most if not all PPVs before.
I draw the line here. This is appalling. The only fight that is worth watching is groves vs Murray- but I am not suffice to excited about it that I would pay money to watch it.

AJ will blow Breazale away within 3 rounds- he is hopeless and a sitting, stiff duck. There isn't even the compensation of a decent undercard.

If there was no football on and I was completely bored I'd maybe watch it. But it will be a light summer's night. There will be a multitude of things I could do rather than pay £17 to watch that.

I will watch it on YouTube later.

Andrew · Post by **Andrew** » 18 Jun 2016, 02:40

I hate all PPV

But this card is poor compared previous PPV Matchroom cards I would accept it on normal sky.

Breazeale won't make round 3 and anyone who has seen his fights v Kassi and Mansour will agree.

Hearn is making a big deal about Groves and Murray its a decent fight all I'm interested in.

Then Eubank v Doran nothing against Doran but his Eubanks quality of opposition is declining people thinking he is fighting GGG soon need to get real.

Hibbert v some Italian for a WBC silver title after he ducked the Ryan fight again.

Then Dillian Whyte in a tune up, Khal Yafai in my opinion on of the worst matched fighters in the country v TBA ( I really rated Khal when he turned over ), Connor Benn v TBA, ogogo v TBA

Anyone paying for this for me is a fool

I heard Whyte is fighting Sexton for British title?

Autobarn · Post by **Autobarn** » 18 Jun 2016, 06:22

Yes, I'm interesting in seeing Joshua's development and have been since the Whyte fight. Especially if something big, like a fight with Fury (if successful next month) is in the works. I ignored all the fights prior to Whyte as its hard to justify as headline material.

I'm not interested in illegal streams, I'm not one to criticise boxing while engaging in piracy etc etc. YouTube quality is horrible and I can't watch it.
