I'll need to see how things go tomorrow. My Kodi is getting updated today apparently so that's an option. I wouldn't mind buying it online but there's been a few stories on here that put me off! My mate is in Amsterdam and is on a train from Hull to Glasgow at some point tomorrow. If he's early I'll drive and pick the little cùnt up and then head to his for it as he has Sky! I hate not knowing what I'm doing!

I think I'll buy this tonight. I'm picky with my ppv's but this ticks enough boxes for me.

I don't think it will be a great fight and it should be an early finish but it's interesting enough and as I've got another couple of weeks with no beer, it will keep me occupied :lol:

Looking forward to the card. Good main and I want to see if Price has one last push in him or if he'll go in to his shell again! Also interested to see how Kelly deals with Molina. Fancy him to do a job...

He will be on a train by 8.30am if he's coming from the docks. I got back yesterday. Tell him to load up, customs are a joke.

What's the price for it in NZ?
50 NZ, about £25
Parker fights are always expensive.
AJ Wlad was $25 NZ
That the same as here, £20 if you buy it the day before or earlier, at least it's not as bad as the states, the price of their PPV's amazes me.
Apparently people tend to chip in together in the US and watch it together. I may cave in and order it

Sharing the cost in the UK is even cheaper.. £20 for the card.. Between 4 friends is £5 each.. Get a 5th friend who can bring some snacks and you've got a good night with the lads.

Go to the friends house who has the best quality and biggest TV.. Sorted. :TU:

On-line foreign stream, with the radio providing English commentary for me.

Parcel Force Harrison made me stop buying PPVs & I will always be indebted to him for that! :TU:

I wasn't going to bother as the undercard doesn't exactly get the pulse racing on paper.

But NowTV were offering 1 months Sky Sports + the big fight tomorrow for £19.95 total so I thought sod it I'll get on board. Surely there'll be something unexpected somewhere on the card.

Joshua is an excellent fighter but the division is poor. Wilder would be a good fight and Fury could have been but I doubt he’ll ever get back to where he was when he beat WK
Same with me, will watch the allegedly card then the sky free to air rerun around next Friday.

My friends and I will alternatively host PPV's during the year. I don't charge. I just like having a bunch of mates over to party and watch the fights!

Yeh, hosting is different. I mean for anyone who is skint, sharing the cost isn't a bad thing. Then again £20 is much cheaper than $80-$100 (PPV price in USA)..

I wouldn't charge my friends, unless we both agree to chip in for a PPV..

its a good main event but the undercard is poor. there should be at least 2 world title fights on a card like this, plus a couple of british title tilts, plus the young upstarts. its quite poor from matchroom, not good tekkers from hearn.

Undercards could always be better but I wouldn’t say this one is poor. There’s several fights I’m looking forward to (the Josh Kelly fight and, I probably shouldn’t be, the Price v Povetkin fight).

Compared to the the undercards of 10 years ago it’s amazing (Khan v Prescott, Hatton v Tszyu etc.)!

We have a 2 tiered mini haybale grandstand made up. I've baited the barn last night to keep the rats at bay. I've scrounged every bit of speaker wire I can find to connect up the Sky box out to the barn. It's pretty sketchy..
Neighbour is bringing his projector and screen. Spit fell through, so the BBQ will have to suffice. Would have loved to have it outside, but the fight night starts here at 5am!
So we need the barn 'cause it's dark enough to see the screen.
Boxing is complicated, isn't it.
