I'm glad it's happening and I'll probably go to the fight live, but PPV for fights like this is what damages the sport IMO.

Neither is really that well known to general public ( except Frampton in Northern Ireland).

This is one of the biggest fights in British boxing, a real rivalry, a unification fight and it will sell really well.

I honestly can't see where you're coming from

There are too many crap PPVs these days but this justifies Sky Box office for me.
I'd buy this even with a fairly weak undercard

i would say it is a ppv event, would look forward if it happened, frampton has fought on itv ,is more known then quigg

In terms of styles, how do people see the fight going?

I just hate PPV in general it's probably the biggest flaw in this sport that top fights need PPV to happen. Bigger problem here than the U.S. And even this situation isn't entirely Hearns fault.

But it's better the fight happens on PPV than not happening at all. Another issue with boxing is that we don't know who the best is at most weights is and with Rigo not fighting this almost determines the best at Super Bantam.

Rigo is the best at SBW
There, that was easy!

I'm not sure he is. I saw him not long back get dropped a fair few time. I think quigg and frampton would be very competitive against him.

That is going to make it awkward if I want to go. Maybe have to go up day before or something.

SEEMS IT'S DEFINATELY ON THEN

It's official! Great fight and great news for British Boxing.

I have a feeling I'll change my mind on who I think will win loads of times before fight night.

EDIT: If anyone fancies an early bet, Frampton is best priced at 8/13. Can get as good as 2/1 on Quigg.

If brook v Gavin was ppv this defo will be

Gonna try my hardest to get tickets for this...

I'd say it is a PPV fight to be honest

It looks like it's been signed.
