Not sure if anyone is interested but I have two tickets available for this. PM me if anyone is interested.

I'll certainly be paying for the PPV. Just a bit gutted that I can't go now!

I reckon that'll be on BN mate. As long as it's on somewhere! Looking forward to that as well. Got that weekend off work as its Old firm then GGG v Brook. Not gonna touch a drink during day so I can stay up for Gonzalez :TU:
Yeah ditto mate,ive got a few people coming around,these days when there's 2 shows on,i'll start drinking when the UK one finishes so im not gaga'd by the time the US show starts :TU:
I definitely need new mates, none of my friends are at all interested in boxing - they don't even bother coming around for the big PPVs anymore since the diabolical Fury-Klitschko and Mayweather-Pacquiao cards completely put them off.

I even have to go to most shows on my own like a right loser :bag:

One of my mates is an ex pro and is still a fan but he doesn't drink lol! A few of my other mates are always up for the 'big fights' but I take a bit of a slagging because I'd watch a British title fight over the CL final etc.. They can't understand that!

I actually have two mates who are not in to any sports!!!! WTF is that about man!!!!

I made my mind up and ordered it this evening through my Virgin box. Hate PPV and haven't bought one for ages, but just can't miss this one.

Surprised only 54% said they buying. Cracking fight compared to recent ppv fights like Bellew Cleverly 2, Joshua Whyte, Martin and Brazeale and Brook Gavin

If you build it he will come.

If people keep buying they will keep selling.

No thank you.

This is a PPV worthy fight IMO. I don't mind paying for it. I pick and choose now but I can't complain about this one.

My plan is to head over to my mates for the old firm and then get the train home for tea time. Have a bit of dinner and a shower and try and stay off it til nearer GGG v Brook fight. That's the plan anyway!

About 70% of me leaning towards buying it now. Mainly 'cos I want to watch it, plus some of the undercard and I can't be arsed to faff on with streams. Call it part of the problem, but I've not paid for one since Froch Groves II, unless you count the currency of bringing some beers to a mates for MayPac.

How is a fight PPV worthy if the fight is not considered an even matchup? GGG is 1/8 to win this fight. It is a mismatch pure and simple just like the last and future PPVs starring AJ. I pay for SKY and B O X N A T I O N but never for PPV.

My god when you polish a turd well enough some people find it appetising and take a bite....and come back for the next one.

Most Eddie Hearn PPVs are mismatching masquerading as top fights.

At least the home fighter is fighting a genuine threat this time, I suppose. A chance to see GGG fight in a UK arena, though that doesn't mean much if you're watching on TV.

Still a mismatch, at the end of the day. Though the Sky adverts were making it look like the two greatest fighters who ever lived going at it. :lol:

I have decided to buy this one. Was in 2 minds as I think it's a mismatch but I do like to watch golovkin and now I'm considering having a big punt on GGG stoppage.

My recent sbo purchases have been this, fury v wlad and mayweather v Pacquiao. Ppv's need a genuine star in my view

Yes.

It's not often we get a P4P fighters the quality of 3G over on these shores. So yeah, I'd pay for it.

(with the hopes of attracting more over here.)

No. Quite happy to listen to BBC 5Live and very happy not to give Sky any money. Their 'make a case for Kell' position has been appalling in its desperateness (particularly from ol' mate Johnny Nelson) and turned me off even more than usual...which is saying something. The only Sky employee seemingly not reading his autocue was Graeme Souness who though claiming he was no boxing expert actually said he'd seen Golovkin live twice (against Macklin and versus Stevens) and just couldn't see any case for Brook to win. As for Eddie Hearn I wouldn't piss on him if he'd been stung by a jellyfish (might reconsider if the sting was on his face though.)

I was in 2 minds all day but bit the bullet and ordered.

Dull undercard of course but hopefully the main event will be memorable even if I can't help feeling that Dominic will be ready with that towel at the first whiff of danger.
