Well, I‘d still like to think AJ vs Fury (if it happens) would be in the UK.

Yep Anthony 'I don't see the point fighting outside of the UK' Joshua, could easily refuse to fight anywhere else but I guess £20m is better that £15m a fight

Exactly... This 'we can earn more elsewhere' argument is completely redundant when you factor in the numbers they're earning and have already earned. Most working class folk like us on here have jobs and work to live. If we earn 12 quid an hour and someone offers us 20 then that's life changing for us and we can't afford to knock it back. These cuunts are already multi millionaires and will be earning more millions regardless so they can afford to have a bit of integrity and respect us fans a bit more but they just take and take! It's fuckin sickening! Then you have all the starry eyed sheep on social media who follow all these types and drool over them! It fukks me off beyond words!

It's us fans that spend our HARD EARNED money, to make these fvckers rich.

Good. The big events are always overpriced shite full of pissed up and coked up football fans.

Did he really say that? He may be greedy but he's never come off as stupid.

They probably won't be fighting anyway. I guess by big he means massive. That's no big deal.

Watch the next ppv be priced at £25.99 as well.

Let's see if Whyte Ruiz gets made. Imagine Eddie trying to sell that as a PPV

As long as streaming stays the same price I’m happy

Have we met?

I've never been able to get a ticket for a Joshua headlined card anyway so I don't really care. I think I stopped trying at Golovkin-Brooke. I got tickets for Whyte-Chisora 2 but that wasn't really that big, was it? Just a fun fight. I miss the days of Haye and Froch where, as long as you logged in when the sale started, you got seats.

Not having Fury-Joshua in the UK would be an absolute dick move, though. I would definitely try and go. It would be amazing to attend. After all the money they've made off of us, surely they would have that one in the UK somewhere?

It gets better for the British public

AJ vs Wilder will be priced at a mere £49.99, only £20 more than the new £29.99 standard PPV price!!!!!

I don't think SKY would bother with a measly £1 bump.

That isn't even worth the uproar, would have to be a £5'er

I meant the same as the last one. Was it £24.99 for Ruiz-AJ?

That was my first thought too. Perhaps he's just dipping his toe in the water to see what kind of response he would get. Hopefully he will have got the message from the number of dislikes the video garnered.

Still, would be an impressive exercise in how to cut loose your core fan base if he ever went ahead with it.

what Hearn needs to ask himself is where else in the world does Froch-groves do 80 thousand, Lewis Ritson sells out an arena and there’s talk of At James park, any bit of needle can be blown up and British level fighters can sell out arenas and/or footie stadiums. That should be his bread and butter and he should show some gratitude, grace and loyalty. He can’t thou cos he’s a pudendum. Tbh Joshua and fury or whoever ain’t much better if they have this total disregard for the fans in this country.

No more monster fights in the UK?

Guess that means we have no chance of staging Godzilla vs King Kong 2 then...

I was wondering why in recent times I was losing interest in boxing. Casual friends would bring the conversation round to boxing and were surprised when I didn't realise where they were coming from. It's simply down to what others have said - PPV and greed.
EVERY half decent fight is now on PPV , and as I refuse to pay, I simply miss out on the big fights. This is the main reason for my rapidly dwindling interest.
Pro boxing was always about money, mainly, but it's now went well beyond reasonable. Average fighters hear how much the 'stars' are earning and their managers are pricing them out of fights. It seems the only night a pro show can take place is a Saturday. PEDs seem to have become endemic, primarily down to sports scientists and nutritionists feeding boxers minds with their ideas.

personally doesnt bother me as I dont live in the UK , but I guess a lot of fans will feel a bit snubbed .

as long as I can watch it live at a reasonable time I am happy .

would add that the atmosphere in saudi looked shite compared to the rowdy brits

Well personaly , I could'nt care less cos , ..... I'm a STREAMER and proud , been a streamer for years now , At one time us poor streamers were frowned upon , treated like lepers , for taking the dollars out of AJ's pockets and refusing to build up Eddies bank balance by more than he could spend or need in 2 lifetimes , .

Some streamers were forced to hang there heads in shame , has the networks cut of the streams , they were forced to say i'm a casual , and i will buy ,, they spent there 3 hours pay on the nightly event , only to be served up Conor Benn fighting a one legged man with a dodgy arm has entree , Some even spent a weeks wages on a ticket and a months wages on air fare and accomadation following AJ to the US of A , Some followed Fury to the USA , (not many ) Only to be told , fook you and your support , were going to Saudi , , Cos there bigger richer casuals than you lot .

bUT ME ,, nAAW i stayed true to my principles and said FOOK YA ,, i'm not buying into it ,,,,,, , i'M a STREAMER , I paitently sat at my computer , and hunted down streams , sometimes by myself , sometimes with the help of other streamers and ultimatly came up with them , ... cos I'm a STREAMER AND PROUD .

now occasionally the big wigs that be , do manage to have there technicians block them out , so what do i do ,, DO I give in , NO like the proud streamer i am , i go Fook ya ,, i'll go to the pub and watch it .

So people , join the clan become a streamer , say it loud and clear , for all to hear , , Tell Eddie Hearn , Tell the fighters getting 10-20-30 million a fight , go fook of cos

I'M A STREAMER AND PROUD

I always struggle for streams. I just be doing something wrong!

Bravo!
