And the less said about the undercard the better.

They should have just given it away for peanuts to C5 or Spike and got some of the advert money than waste everyones time on YouTube

I've enjoyed the X Factor with the cubs the last few weekends

It's as says. It's a PPV, but it's only available on You Tube.

You pay to watch it on You Tube, not available on TV.

I've never heard of that before! Wonder if it'll be on for free the next day?

Youll probably see a better fight in the fish shop down the road

No chance. Seriously don't understand the mentality here, surely does less than 5000 buys.

£14.99

Early bird price was £9.99

Its free on Radio 5 Live though

Funniest thing to me is it's on TV here and much more expensive. 35 bucks.

Radio will do for me then.

What other world channels is it on?

The undercard is free I think, looks like it off the Youtube channel:

So £15 now, not a tenner. This is gona bomb so badly. They've dropped such a massive bollock here. Is this gona bankrupt Hennessy or what? Or does he just have a spare million-odd to blow?

Nope it is £14.99.

£9.99 was an early bird offer.

I'm not joking by the way.

I'm not going to crap on the YouTube concept because I think it's a great idea. Even for PPV purely because of how easy it is to access.

But this isn't a PPV fight.

I might have paid £9.99 as I can connect Youtube to my TV wireless through my phone or laptop

£14.99 is taking the biscuit though

I wish Hughie really well though and hope he can pull this off

Same here! Will get my lad to go halves, £7.50 doesn't seem too bad for my Saturday night fix of boxing although I'm clueless with internet stuff so my son will have to sort it out

I do pine like a little bitch for the good old days of Saturdays ITV Fight Night with Jim Rosenthal and Reg Gutteridge etc

It's ppv here in the states, I imagine it's col Sheridan. Streams will be plentiful.

I could have sworn 2 days ago it was $9.99. Today I checked and yup it was $34.99.

I wonder if I would have bought it for $10 at the time if the price would have stuck.

I'd buy it for 10. My new phone oddly has a pound sign and no dollar sign.

I'd probably pay a fiver, £15 not a facking chance!

I'm kicking myself for not buying it @ $10.

It makes me feel as though its a focking stock I missed out on. I may buy it @34 anyway, even though its overvalued.

I reckon they should have priced it around the £5 mark, that may well have attracted in far more than double the number who will pay £10. I won't be watching, not even sure how to view it over here anyway...

I'm not paying for it.
The undercard is poop.
The highlights will be on the sunday night news here, if there are any highlights.
Good luck to Parker, get Furys/W@rren/Hennersey the heck out of title fights and back to small halls where they belong!!

PPV??? Whittttt? I just assumed this was on YouTube for free.

People on here are complaining and pretending that they would have bought it at a lower price. The fact is that this fight has a limited appeal. Those who wish to watch will buy it for £5 or £15. Those that don't want to watch it if it costs £15 also won't pay £5 or £1.

Very true. Noticed the PPV channel they've set up only has 2,878 subscribers so far. That is no indication of how many people will buy but is an indicator that 22 hours before the fight there is a small number of people keeping a eye on the channel.

The free undercard could be a good measuring stick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6sPF2HABDU

Live YouTube streams will display underneath it how many people are watching live. If the free stream is doing poor number tomorrow, the live PPV will no doubt be a flop.

I've seen some of these HBO and Showtime free pre-PPV streams in recent months attracting less than 20,000 viewers. That after HBO and Showtime have been advertising the streams to millions of their followers on social media and TV. Their streams are not geo-blocked and are available globally. That says to me either people are not that interested in what they are showing on YouTube or boxing fans prefer to watch events live on TV via a conventional broadcaster.

It's a bold move from Hennessy but one that looks destined to flop.

1080p I imagine if you have a smart tv.
