Somehow we've been duped into paying for standard fighters. Joshua Whyte ppv? Talk of Bellew ppv?

Crazy thing is we pay for it!

If we pay for it then it is PPV worthy. What other criteria is there? Not that PPV rules were handed down by the God Almighty.

Theoretically we all pay a monthly subscription for sport with a portion of that going to a boxing budget. For me PPV should be when a fight is that big the budget a needs adding to in order to buy the rights or in hearns case make the fight happen - for the figures to stack up.

If we pay for it its ppv worthy isnt an ideal criteria as it's been proven time and time again that boxing fans will pay to watch a fight. We can't help ourselves. In fact last week a lad local to me fought mma out in Poland on a KSW bill and last minute I paid £7 to watch a live stream. Just couldn't help it .

You're right though. There's no 11th commandment "thou shall not take the Piss with boxing ppvs "

If eddies involved,then yes.
