Are You Buying The Brook-Spence PPV?

Boxerbeetle · Post by **Boxerbeetle** » 18 May 2017, 14:56

I'm undecided at the moment. Definitely want to watch it, but not impressed with 2 PPVs within 30 days. Will probably not buy it as would send a very bad message to Sky if this does well so soon after the Joshua PPV.

I'm sort of getting the feeling that the main event won't live up to expectations. I think it could end up being a dull, cagey affair.

i think it's pretty much guaranteed the main event will be action packed. Brook has a great chin,tough as nails, and is going to be pushed to the limit by Spence maybe even past the limit.This has all the makings of a tear up.

I disagree. I think both fighters are pretty aggressive, and after perhaps a cagey 2-3 rounds, I expect it to leap into life. I'm not sure either will drop into a tactical points victory from the outset. Brook has a decent chin, so would expect he'd have to ship a lot of punishment to go down.

That said, as some have already alluded to, two PPV's in 30 days is a bit much, not sure my student bank account will cope too well. Will stream, but if I was more financially endowed, I'd probably buy.

It's not going to be easy not to buy on the night, even if you think Sky are getting above themselves . Top undercard too

The Brook-Porter fight - which is probably the closest fight in Brook's career in terms of ability levels to the Spence fight - didn't leap into life.

Yeah that's what I would compare the likely outcome of this fight to. Personally I thought the Brook-Porter fight was really entertaining. Porter was really going for it, and as a result playing right into Brook's hands.

I'm going to it, but if I wasn't I would buy it.

I have only ever done PPV for the combination fights between. Floyd, Hatton and Pacquaio.

Hearn is not getting a single penny from me in PPV.

The Young One · Post by **The Young One** » 19 May 2017, 02:17

I'll get it, way I look at it is if I went out, even down the local with the Mrs it would cost more than the PPV fee.

Bigdogsnose · Post by **Bigdogsnose** » 19 May 2017, 02:18

All round my mates house. Well looking forward to it, much more so than Joshua-Klit. George Groves was the icing on the cake really. Two PPV's in a month not so bad if they good quality fights..... be complaining if it was more Bellew-Clevewrly style dross.

Not sure who Brook needs to fight to make himself a household name but he's still not known by many outside of "Hardcore" boxing fans.

Ezzard · Post by **Ezzard** » 19 May 2017, 03:42

100% YES. When the fights were announced I was more excited about this fight than Joshua-Wlad.

Greg Houston · Post by **Greg Houston** » 19 May 2017, 05:11

If I was home I would buy it, but I'm going to see Kiss that night. If I wasn't at the gig I'd probably working at an amateur show, so doubt I was ever going to be seeing it live.
