Chris Eubank Jr vs Renold Quinlan to cost £12.95 on ITV pay-per-view

[dirk2686]

Anyone even considering paying £12.95 for this should get their head examined.

Did you pay £16.95 for Joshua v Whyte or Martin??

I did, but I won't be paying for this.

I'm not bragging about how much money I have or don't have; I pretty much get all the PPV cards, I subscribe to BN and am never arsed about streaming or suchlike. I like watching on HD TV rather than risking a stream which may or may not work. But I just don't have any interest in this fight at all. If it had been free, and if I'd been home alone and bored, I would have had it on. As it stands I have other plans, and they genuinely extend to going out for a pint. That's how little I care about it.

If you pay for this tripe, you are a sucker.

It's a con job.

[freddydoesdallas]

Not bothering myself. Just don't think it's worthwhile at all.

Eubank jnr isn't more than European level at the minute and we're expected to fork out £13 for the privilege of watching him fight for the ibo strap. I don't even think warr€n put Hatton on ppv for his wbu title

[rd350lc]

No.

Well your right not buying it.. But over 400,000 did so this should do better having higher viewing figures

How do you figure it will do better?

You think more than 400000 people will pay to watch this? Why?

thought exactly the same , 4000 might be more realistic

can't wait for this to bomb in grand style .

[CaptainSpacerod]

They'll be lucky to get 1,000 buys.

Nobody's heard of Quinlan and hardly anybody's heard of Jr.

On boxing terms it SHOULD do better.. It's a better card and a better fight.. Sheep will be sheep

[crusader]

Won't even bother to stream the Eubank fight

I've not bought a PPV in years, not a point of principle, it is just that I can't remember thinking one as being value for money.

This is a shite main event. Quinlan is very ordinary, Geale looked shot to pieces against him in my opinion. Other than that he has no win of any value. Eubank is decent but nowt exceptional in my eyes.

Price, Galahad and Etches are in good fights, it would be a solid Sat night big card on Sky or BN - 100% not PPV though. I'm not even swithering with this

[tigermoth87]

That's £15 too much.

[whatashambles]

It's funny Joshua v Whyte and Joshua v Martin both done over 400k PPV buys at a higher price.. This is a far better fight than both these fights.. Quinlon has beaten a genuine a world champion. This is worth 12.95 all day long. I think they were silly putting the undercard on ITV4 I hope they have used their brain and will put the Price and Galahad fights on the PPV they are both very difficult fights

The Martin fight also had Selby and McDonnell in World title fights as well as Macklin and Groves fighting. The Whyte fight had Mitchell in a world title fight as well as Chisora, Bellew, Eubank Jr, Luke Campbell and Paulie Maliganaggi. You can question the main event, but the undercard fights were much better than the Eubank Jr-Quinlon fight.
And moreover, you cannot compare Joshua and Eubank Jr. Joshua is a huge name, with crossover appeal that very few boxers achieve. The PPV sells to people that don't normally watch boxing but will tune in and buy because it's him, because it's 'an event'. Same as it was for someone like Hatton.

[freddydoesdallas]

Does anyone think that people are becoming a bit delusional about their popularity due to social media like twitter, instagram etc where it's possible for people to have 1 million 'fans' but essentially it's just people clicking when they see a celebrity lifestyle for no cost?

When i was on twitter, i used to follow a load of random shite but it didn't actually mean i cared about them

[davie]

Sheep will be sheep

You are kidding here, right?

[dalcumly]

This will crash and burn - absolutely no demand to see this fight. It'll be so poorly taken up that something might happen in the week leading up to the fight.
Someone said 'what's his name' was getting £44,000 can you see Eubank going ahead on only a share of the PPV if less than 1000 buys?

[Nightmare Roy]

I really hope it's a disaster, if it was a big success can you imagine the shite other promoters would try to flog as PPV?

[Crease]

Not £20.00 Boxing fans will have to pay £12.95 to watch Chris Eubank Jr take on Renold Quinlan on ITV pay-per-view.

This price definitely be confirmed then?

NO I will not be watching it.
For the sake of £4, this could have made this fight with Sky and prevented all the aggravation - and they would have made more money out of it. This is just a frace now.

If they had've priced the event at £3 (as was originally touted) - I probably would have watched it, because it really would be next to free for all of us. But now that they've pushed it up by a multiple of four, I won't be watching it.
And nor do I believe that I'll be missing anything spectacular - except another Eubank Jr beatdown.

And it will be impossible for them to have 6 million viewers. There's absolutely no way.

[jamesmcdonnell]

considering the fight is less than a month away, and I've seen ZERO promotion for this fight thus far, I can see only one outcome for this ridiculous idea.

As others said, at a lower price, this would have been a good proposition, they'd probably have made more money, casuals aren't going to spend 12.95 on what is effectively a fringe contender level fight.

A big factor will be how people can pay - if it's a faff, most people will just turn over, or not tune in to it in the first place.

I thought i'd pop onto seetickets and see what was available. I could pick up 5 tickets in every category in low numbered rows and seats. Not sure if the low rows and seats actually means much but picking up 5 tickets suggests take up isn't great

Eubank doing a couple of interviews today, Good Morning Britain and TalkSPORT, I'll be interested to see how much ITV bother to promote this fight. If they don't put much into it it could (and should) do absolutely horrendous numbers.

£535 FOR RINGSIDES at a small venue like this........

Can't understand anyone not having a android box like zgemma that records one channel while you watch another. Has every channel thatbsky has, through a dish (not streaming), including all PPVs, for a one off payment of Circa £145 (,equipment and subscription for a year,)

Sky, BT and now even ITV are taking the consumer to the cleaners

Either you're trolling or you're suffering from some sort of mental illness. Hopefully it's trolling.
