Some people need boxing and that type of entertainment.. If it means paying more, then some will do it..

Why would anyone pay for any PPV, it’s all out there for free

Good point, and for a mug like me that paid for Saturday night, this is my reason for shelling out - it was just easier to click a couple of buttons on my remote and get a clear picture on my TV rather than looking for a credible feed that won't infect my computer with a load of viruses.

I know that someone's going to come on and tell me that it's very easy to find these PPVs on the net and that I can hook it up to my TV etc. I realise that, but maybe I'm just too lazy to arse around doing so!

Mate, if you've got the money and £20 won't set you back much, then why not?

Or at least even now, say 4 mates come together and put in £5 each..

Still cheaper than going out to watch it..

Yeah exactly. I might not agree with all these PPVs but I love boxing and £20 isn't going to break the bank.
You pay your money, you take your choice :TU:

Last ppv I paid for, well chipped in to was AJ Vlad and I didn’t mind as that was worthy of it, but the stuff that is PPV now just takes the absolute piss. £20 for what was essentially a decent gatekeeper vs a CW having his second HW pro outing with a shit undercard, ffs. £20 for that on top of the monthly subscription, you’re having a bubble!

You're right, there was no way that Saturday night should have been anywhere near a PPV. Ironic that we were treated to a much better card for free later on Channel 5!

How can it be viable for C5 to show it, totally advert free incidentally, yet BT and Sky shy away from it.

Huge credit to channel 5 ..... putting so called specialist sports channels to shame

Hate Vs Harrison was a real stinker of a PPV.
