Are you buying the PPV tonight?
I have found a lot of the Sky/Matchroom and even IFL TV build up to be disingenuous with regards to Whyte/Chisora in particular and I don't like the idea of buying the PPV in order to support this model.
On the other hand, I can buy the PPV and cook rather than get a takeaway. There's a few interesting fights even if the main event will be a procession.
Basically, I'm gonna buy the PPV even though I don't like the model.

You can add me to this list. I wish there was a turn off commentary option (I don't like total silence, you lose some of the atmosphere) so I don't have to listen to Smith / Ed Goblinson / whoever.....ShadrachSimmo wrote:X3ThereByTheGrace wrote:x2mimmy123 wrote:no.

I'd rather hear the ref, crowd, punches and cornerwork than the Sky clowns
Re: Are you buying the PPV tonight?
Like always I say that I won't buy another PPV but at 3pm as I always do I can't help but pay for it. I'm a mug but at least I know it

Re: Are you buying the PPV tonight?

Re: Are you buying the PPV tonight?
I should probably get more tech savvy but I like watching in HD on a big screen without worrying about buffering!
Re: Are you buying the PPV tonight?
No
Not only won't I pay for it, My work has paid for it for the lads to see it (casual fan wankers
) and i'm nightshift. I could ask for a couple hours off to nip in and watch it
I won't as a matter of principles. I rant at everyone about the ppv rip offs and watching it would demt my proper boxing fan credentials
I'll be sitting scoring Horses most recent 52 week challenge and catch the show when the fights go up on youtube
*** I can't get dodgy streams on my works computers you see and don't have my Kodi

No. I'm not buying and probably won't even bother getting a stream. The wife will think I'm doing it for her rather than out of principle
Re: Are you buying the PPV tonight?
I am a boxing fan. I am buying it. It costs just over fifteen fcking quid. That it piss all, most people on this forum will go out on Saturday night and spend £50 or £80 or not even know which one nor care but not spend £17 to watch the sport they spend time talking about, debating, writing about etc. Fcking stupid. Talk about being a martyr.
I could stream it, as I am sure tons will, but again why be such a knob and spend a night watching a shitty feed that is like watching a TV smeared in vaseline.

I agree the money isn't really an issue. I'm saving money staying in on a sat night.
Also you get to see Kate Abdo in HD :-)

The money isn't the issue for most people, it's the principle. Boxing fans are the only sports fans in Britain who have to put up with PPV. Some mega-fights admittedly might need PPV to be viable. Joshua vs Molina is not one of those fights.
Re: Are you buying the PPV tonight?
Even AJ streams fights, which is comical. So it's a big no from me.

The money means fornicate all in this situation. It's a piss poor card and it's a constant stream of piss poor cards that we are being asked to pay out for on top of what we already have to pay out.tobyh5 wrote:I am a boxing fan. I am buying it.

Molina has stated he is looking for a lucky punch. On paper, this fight is a complete mismatch and a shame of a world title fight.
Put Joshua in with a good operator and I would pay. Tell me that its a ppv fight and Klitschko is likely, then change to Haye and then finally announce the actual opponent like this and they can fornicate off.

Principles dont pay the bills and they dont entertain you. Hugely overrated things.

Re: Are you buying the PPV tonight?
Perhaps, but I very much doubt tonight's card will particularly entertain you either. At the end of the day, this event isn't PPV worthy and isn't worth the money. 15 quid won't break my bank, but I'd rather not piss it away to Sky and Matchroom for this sort of card.tobyh5 wrote:Boxerbeetle wrote:The money isn't the issue for most people, it's the principle.
