Although Froch vs Groves 2 was reported as a million, so could be possible if thats true.

Cotto-Canelo cost $70/£45 in the US, though.

That's true US PPV are always much more expensive , 400k seems a lot though but who knows everyone seems to be talking about AJ.

I would be absolutely amazed if 400k was correct. I don't even know a single person who bought it.

I don't know many that didn't.

The day Tony Bellew headlines one, that's when enough is enough!

You wanna have a word with them to stop propping up Camp Eddie's regime

the casuals are all over Joshua, not sure i can remember the last time a british boxer was so commonly talked about, I overhear them after every fight

400k seems a lot looking at other sports events. According to some quick Googling...

- The Saturday England won the Ashes in 2015, was 467k
- 497k watched the 2015 Champions League final (on Sky, ITV blew that out the water)

I appreciate people are all over Joshua at the minute, and perhaps 400k is right, but compared to these other major events, that people didn't have to fork out additional cash for and are generally more popular sports, 400k for Joshua seems unlikely.

i think Joshua is more mainstream than cricket

Careful now, you've just given Camp Eddie a cracking slogan to add to the next PPV poster:

"Joshua is more mainstream than cricket"

No chance 400k people bought this

That's 0.62% of the entire UK population, and 1.53% of uk households.

So Eddie wankjob Hearn wants us to believe 1 in every 65 households in the UK, from landsend to john o'groats shelled out for Joshua vs Whyte.

Day to day cricket, certainly, but the peak of the biggest moment in Cricket for the year? I dunno. Among my friends and co-workers the same casuals who never shut up about the cricket this summer, the same that made stupid comments about Fuy/Wlad, haven't said a peep about AJ this weekend.

that's Camp Eddie, to you

I actually dropped allegedly yesterday.

The forward schedule in the next few months looks appalling, even for £12 a month.

The day Tony Bellew headlines one, that's when enough is enough!

He headlined the CLEV one last year.

Got a feeling every Joshua fight until he loses will be on PPV.
Also Eddie talks about Brook being a PPV star so he will have every fight on PPV TIL he loses.

Does Eddie have the minerals to put Selby-Warrington as a PPV headline? Probably so that's another one to add to the list.

If Bellew fought RJJ instead of Enzo I reckon Eddie would of put that on PPV aswell.

end of july after the euros,, eddies summer show,, ppv. khan brook maybe

September o2.. aj v European champ

November/ December Eddie Christmas show

uncle frank said that they were aiming for nine ppv per year and frank is right this time

we as boxing fans are paying the bill for the football and they are all gready corporations that make us pay

Boxing fans aren't paying the bill. Boxing fans are a tiny pool most of whom know how farcical 'whyte vs joshua' & 'brooke v gavin' is as ppv.

Make no mistake the direction of matchroom/sky box office is entirely geared towards football fans, who already get their monies worth on prem games.

"Here lads after the footy, pay a bit extra for a dustup between 2 guys who "genuinely dislike" each other."

Totally agree with this,iv got a mate he is just an average joe who likes abit of boxing,doesnt understand what belts are what and how the rankings work but when i told him in disbelief that AJ was ppv a couple of weeks after fury the first thing he said was "dont care ill get it on its AJ init" so these type of boxing fans are the ones why ppv will never go away. Us die hard boxing fans would hold out and not get it on in a protest to get it back on normal sky but its too far gone now,we best get used to ppv. The only way we can protest is to leave sky or tune the package right down to the lowest one

I wonder who his source is.

Incidentally, he seemed to be a supporter of the PPV and I believe he was calling people idiots (or something along the lines) for criticizing it.

He was basically saying 'without PPV, these fights can't be made'. He's right when it comes to Mayweather vs Pacquaio, but probably not for a British title fight.

I was being facetious.

That's pretty much the point Davie:

'Matchroom PPV's: where satirical whimsy becomes reality'
