Another PPV, thats a long list of fights on PPV coming up , twenty quid a touch is going to mount up
Some PPV's shouldn't even be £20.. like this one or the Whyte-Parker.. Should be like £15..
More people will buy.. still means more money.
I don't know if it's the same there as it is here but our cable/satellite providers get half the money. While you may be right, the promoter runs a big risk trimming it too tight.

Lower price would mean more ppv buys. May as well equal same revenue?

Like I said you may be right, but it also means lower guarantees for the fighters and likely less top fights because of it. The promoters shoulder all the weight on ppv(here), they could lose a bundle if they cut the price and it tracked the same. HBO and the casinos started that inflation over here and fucked everything up. Guys like Leonard and hearns made 10 million to fight each other but that was the only way they could make bank. They still had low 6 figure paydays in-between.

Yeh true. It’s a gamble at times. Bellew knows he’s makin less than what he made against Haye, but knows he’ll still get paid a good amount. It’s down to the fighters. Like Whyte-Parker. They wer both guaranteed £1m the rest was on PPV. Sky wern’t going to fund them anymore

Last night I had a crazy dream about this fight. I saw, that Bellew suddenly appeared to be a tough challenge for Usyk, he was landing hard punches and with a one of them Usyk was staggered, after what he began to literally turn his back and run away from Bellew for all the fight and eventually he ran out of the ring.

Really? I always dream about big upcoming fights, and have been known to place bets on the outcome based on my dreams. I’ve since learnt that my dreams are usually inaccurate and not worth betting on.

Fook me Boomer.
Fair fooks for taking this fight but be trying no southpaw shit against Usyk.
Surely that was just a 2 minute mess around for the purpose of Twitter?

Cordina vs. Cardle is off.. Cardle will still fight on the card..
With just over a week to go.. This is the fight schedule:
WBC, WBA, WBO, IBF & Ring Magazine World Cruiserweight Titles
Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tony Bellew
Final Eliminator For WBA World Lightweight Title
Anthony Crolla vs. Daud Yordan
Lightweight Contest
Scott Cardle vs. TBA
Welterweight Contest
Josh Kelly vs. TBA
--------------------
Are they gonna fill the card with some local lads? Anyone around Lancashire area.
Hearn has been too focussed on USA.

£20 is a lot just for Usyk vs. Bellew IMO.
Crolla isn't exactly fighting a known opponent or a world title fight.
Cardle vs. Cordina was going to be a decent scrap IMO.
Now we have shitall.

I dreamed Foreman knocked Moorer the night before the fight. I'd already bet heavily on it, so that's probably why.

Disgraceful card for a ppv . Just taking the piss now. Wouldn't be that great a card for a regular ss fight night.
Spreading himself too thin with his stable, bubble will inevitably burst as a result.

Bellew won't have rubbed off on too many people. Haye was still the main appeal for both fights against Bellew.
The main appeal here is that it's for the Unidsputed title. The first Undisputed title fight in Britain.
