Sky sports give eddie peanuts for boxing so he can't have good shows without Ppv,

Actually i thought Eddie has one of if not the best deals Sky has done when handing out the contracts for boxing content.

Just read on Current Scene that this fight has been picked up by a US broadcaster (AWE?). Should make it nice & easy to find a stream

Right. Also, you could use a proxy and pay the quid or whatever to watch it rough AWE

Agree it's a much better bill but Gavin v skeete is not a 50/50 fight ! It's 70/30 at least

I wouldn't really know how to start with that, I'll stick to good old illegal viewing.

Peeping Tom.

The politically correct term is 'voyeur', thank you very much.

I just can't see this show selling on PPV in anywhere near decent numbers. Literally no-one I know outside a couple of hardcore boxing fan mates has mentioned a single thing about the show. If a show is going to sell then a real buzz needs to be generated and the average man on the street who knows bugger all about boxing needs to buy it in decent numbers. I can't see that happening here.

Funny that it has been the opposite for me, I work in a place with over 6000 workers and all the people who are so called non boxing fans are talking about it all the time. Saying they can't wait, where as the people I know who are hard core fans are moaning and saying they won't buy it .

I don't know how it will pan out Ppv numbers wise but I think on the last week when they hype it all up allot of people will end up buying it just to bring the lads over and have a few drinks and make a day of it.

Genuine question here....are you telling the truth? I don't know where you work but I'm guessing Liverpool or wales? sorry if that's an assumption but genuinely that seems far fetched.

I live in London and I no one I know (casual fans) are actually that bothered and certainly won't be paying for it.

its a decent scrap that shouldn't be on PPV. I won't be buying it, no way.

Maybe he works in the Echo Arena

The boxers arent big enough names for this to be PPV , i wont be buying it as im out that night but probably would have or went to my mates hosue who for some bizarre reason has ordered it already ,

Yeh sorry I should have stated earlier I do work in Liverpool but like I said I thougt it would b the other way round in here, I thought the hard core fans would get it but the casuals wouldn't b too interested but it seems just in here the other way round

I'm guessing the fight's getting a load of publicity in the local press up there?

Must admit I'm surprised Sky aren't advertising this very heavily at the moment - I don't remember seeing any adverts for it??? (Saying that, I never pay attention to adverts so apologies if I've just missed them all )

He was cracking up on ringside. "Don't tell me what to do"

I think he would completely lose the plot if he lost for a second time to Cleverly lol.

We all want to see that.

I used to think he was alright in the past but he comes across more and more like a bully all the time.

I can't make my mind up which result I would prefer :

either, Clev to win by undisputable KO (clearly I don't want anybody to get hurt, just not a disputable stoppage like Froch/Groves 1).

or, Clev to win by a contentious points decision (as this would be mental torture for Bellew for the rest of his life).

Na a contentious one would be easier to bare for Bellew rather than a clear points loss because he would be able to convince himself that he really won in the first instance. With the second he wouldnt be able to kid himself.

I don't know mate, as he says himself he doesn't recognise the first fight as a loss ! (although he doesn't give the impression that it doesn't bother him .....)
