(That was PPV right? Or am I dreaming).
I can't remember if it was or not but Khan v Prescott most definitely was. The undercard had Alex Arthur vs Nicky Cook and then a load of one sided fights. How Warren can put that in PPV but then criticise the Joshua v Pulev fight is laughable.

Plus all of the one sided Naz PPV fights on PPV.
A lot of Khans fights were on PPV. Kotelink, McClosky,

He also stuck GGG Canelo on PPV on his own channel - fine - but didn't include the Saunders fight and bumped that down to SD so he could use the HD channel to essentially broadcast a six hour advert. Pathetic double standards from the man.

Agreed. Is his ego so big that he can't see the obvious double standards he has here? Either that or he's gone senile and can't remember putting Khan Salita on PPV.

The unified heavyweight champion against a top five ranked opponent is a PPV fight. And to be fair to Hearn, should be a good undercard if they get Whyte a decent opponent.

FW is taking the piss given some of the crap he's put on PPV.

i paid for eubank quinlan but i wont pay for aj v pulev. its all to do with the pricing. a tenner is nothing really but when youre already paying 60 quid a month for your tv then any more on top becomes noticeable.

You're not wrong, I just got my Floyd infused bill of $312, same next month from ggg. At least the main events didn't suck.

I'm sorry but how do you not factor in that it all goes on the price for your TV?

You could have not paid for Eubank, paid for Joshua, and the net result is you've paid five quid more, which is minimal.

It's pretty brutal to watch TV here in a regular way.

that's like the bloke who jumps out of a plane at 10,000 feet and his parachute wont open, he keeps falling and falling and just before he hits the deck the instructor shouts at him "dont worry mate, you've only got six feet left and everyone can jump six feet."

ill do a tenner on ppv because i dont see it as a huge jump, and what other sport could i get for a tenner? but if we go up to 16-17 quid then that's a ticket to the football.

A strange and ultimately meaningless answer.
