Good point, I'm sure Hearn mentioned in the same interview coming to the north east but I can't remember if it was in relation to this topic!

Joshua is a PPV fighter now. He's selling out Wembley for crying out loud - of course he'll be on PPV.

I still don't really get why you'd be so happy about cancelling your Sky subscription when the PPV sector is a completely different entity. The standard stuff on Sky recently has been pretty good.

I don't consider paying nearly 100 a month for something 'pretty good' is value for money.

Yeah he mentioned the North East as well as South Wales I believe. Great fighting cities, but perhaps lack the punch to meet the current standards of a Saturday night card, where the expected standard has grown massively in recent years.

Yeah it's good news for prospects, hopefully not just Matchroom prospects but also local prospects. I'd like to see them given a chance to show they're good enough to be signed.

Why were you paying a hundred quid for it? I've just checked and the bog standard Sky package plus Sports is less than fifty quid a month.

You'd imagine the North East was going to happen with the signing of Josh Kelly.

I also agree it would be great to see some of the local prospects in any area it goes tested against the "big boys" of Matchroom and have a chance to show their worth. Or even be showcased filling out the bill.

Isaac Macleod and Warren Baister would boost ticket sales massively in a north east show, alongside others.

What's the craic with Baister? Feels like he's been around ages but not actually really gone anywhere.
