George Groves vs. Jamie Cox - Who's watching?
More of a question is, who's buying this?
I'm not buying but I am going to get a stream going.
Now Groves vs. Eubank, I would buy..
The Groves vs. Cox undercard doesn't appeal to me either.. The £9.95 price isn't too bad, I know Groves vs. Eubank will likely be higher..
But yeh, to sum it up, not buying, but definitely watching tonight.

Wonder what the odds are on Cox getting DQ'd! Wouldn't surprise me.

Definitely not buying. Won’t go to any great lengths to find a stream, will probably just have a quick look on Facebook.

Re: George Groves vs. Jamie Cox - Who's watching?
If they'd had a few undercard fights that were interesting I'd have bought it. But Nielsen v Ryder doesn't do anything for me so I'll pass.
Re: George Groves vs. Jamie Cox - Who's watching?
Is it being streamed from the wbss website at all? Might watch if it's on there for a small fee...
Re: George Groves vs. Jamie Cox - Who's watching?
If this was free I'd probably watch it if I wasn't doing anything else.
ITV get their income from advertising. The people who buy this event will actually be paying money to watch a whole load of adverts as well as some boxing and listening to the build up.
Sad really. The whole PPV thing is causing me to basically switch off as far as boxing is concerned.

Re: George Groves vs. Jamie Cox - Who's watching?
I remember when I used to order WWE on Sky Box Office.. They never used to include adverts. but that was a long time ago. I do know boxing ppv's between rounds they still have adverts. If you're paying extra to watch, they shouldn't include adsBoxerbeetle wrote:Why wouldn’t they? The robbing bastards at Sky do.Ruthless-RKO wrote:I've never bought ITV Box Office..

Not buying no way. I Will have a look for a stream or periscope but if nothing decent is about then no big deal will wait for YouTube
Re: George Groves vs. Jamie Cox - Who's watching?
I am very keen to watch this fight but it is no way PPV worthy and I will be hoping to catch it for free

Re: George Groves vs. Jamie Cox - Who's watching?
In all honesty, I've little interest in it. Groves never seems to have caught fire for me and I just see him as a good opponent rather than a headline attraction. Him against Cox does absolutely nothing for me so I'll probably just watch the rugby or speedway on bt sport/eurosport
I don't think eubank or groves really warrant my ppv cash

Not really. Essentially, we have a fella who's been tested once above European level who has been beaten and then another fringe world level world guy who has won 1 out of 4/5 world title fights.Ruthless-RKO wrote:Unless they fought each other?freddydoesdallas wrote:In all honesty, I've little interest in it.

It would depend on value.. £9.95 isn't too bad, but it will be higher.. But you are right.. PPV is overused.. Groves vs. Eubank is just not PPV..freddydoesdallas wrote:Not really.

I'll be buying it as I want to see the contest and I don't agree with stealing via streams etc.

Each to their own mate. I personally feel boxing fans are again getting shafted by this fight being PPV and if anyone gets a good link to the fight please pass it my way as I ain't paying for this.leejonesjnr wrote:I'll be buying it as I want to see the contest and I don't agree with stealing via streams etc.
Re: George Groves vs. Jamie Cox - Who's watching?
Does anyone know who the referee is for this fight tonight?
I can see a Groves win by DQ if he starts getting on top and Cox is looking for a way out.

Re: George Groves vs. Jamie Cox - Who's watching?
I'd have chucked a fiver for it but as the undercard is rubbish I'll give it a miss, got Joshua in a couple of weeks and the way things are going there will be a PPV every Saturday night at this rate
Re: George Groves vs. Jamie Cox - Who's watching?
Doesn't look like I can watch this, I don't do dodgy streams either and according to the website there's no Spanish broadcaster involved. Shame they don't offer a stream from their website in this case...leejonesjnr wrote:I'll be buying it as I want to see the contest and I don't agree with stealing via streams etc.

Yeah, if it was a tenner and I had nothing to do, the wife was out and there was nothing on, I would probably be tempted.Ruthless-RKO wrote:It would depend on value.. £9.95 isn't too bad, but it will be higher..
