its brilliant isn't it, I have re read it a couple of times, i feel like I have actually been round coneye's with a few beers and a load of massive drunken Islanders, watching boxing (and having headbutting/shinkicking contests ) awesome stuff.

it made me laugh and brought back a few good memories, just not with drunken islanders, he's certainly going to have a good night.

I’d really love to be there

I may participate in the shin kicking as I’ve got some conditioning on my shins but fvck having a head butting competition with an Islander

put you in a bad bad way wouldlnt it

Those men are tough

It’s a fight I’ve wanted to see for years.

£25 irks me - but it’s 3 pints where I live.

Given the scale of the event, I’d probably pay up to about £40.

There must be a Wetherspoons somewhere near you.

Never mind tough mate the average Islander probably has 4 stone on me at least

I'll get it on the stick but if I never had that of course I'd be buying

I’m not going in one of them :-)

Probably bump into the stepson trying to get drunk on the cheap with all of his mates!

Build up is hardly making me change mind about buying. John Fury an embarrassment, Tyson limited to calling silent Usyk a rabbit and a sausage. No fans in sight. Face off was boring. Not much talk of how Tyson looked against Ngannou last time out.

It hasn't got a feel of being a big event. If it was Fury v Joshua at Wembley then I don't think I'd be able to sleep at this stage but I'm currently weirdly ambivalent about Saturday in Saudi.

This may or may not be relevant to some, but
I see that TNT Box Office has disappeared off the Sky platform. I would rather stick it on my bill than pay on my card, so that means I’ll have to book via Skysports.
I’m pissed as I like Haye, Frampton and Bunce on punditry and now I’m stuck with that annoying skinny bird Wolhouse and Johnny Nelson

Will get the firestick on, 4 bottles of red, a takeaway and a couple of bags in with the missus. She's promised to wear something crotchlees

I always find it extremely difficult to pace a PPV properly, I either start drinking too late and hardly feel drunk by final bell, or I start too early and end up totally bollocksed halfway through the undercard. It's a bloody tightrope.

I can't really get my head around this thread.

It is the biggest fight in decades. Loads of unknowns, plenty of beef and for all the heavyweight baubles!

£25 seems like a steal to me. It's the cost of two large cod and chips and a couple of cokes!

The one thing tipping me to buying it is fear of missing something special, plus the undercard is decent enough for a change on a PPV

Same here. Cannot believe the amount of people that don't have one..

Can you 100% rely on it for big events? I've never had a fire stick but used to watch random streams, found it increasingly difficult to get something stable which wouldn't go down halfway through / wouldn't give my laptop a virus.

When people say firestick what they really mean is an app that gets loaded on - usually IPTV which costs about £ 70 -100 per year for all sorts of channels inc sports .

For sure this is £25 worth. Pizza and lots of cans on hand for tomorrow.

Can I watch? My Mrs is on nights, I'm work till 9pm but up early Sunday for golf. It all depends what time the fight starts, however, tell me more about the crotchless.

Nothing on IPTV is 100% guaranteed. There's a chance the fight could buffer for most of the coverage, or the TV company throw a spanner in the works by using something new to encript or disrupt coverage.

I don't depend on my IPTV but it's never been a problem up to now.

Amen.

Not on Sky Box Office downunder, if it was, I would have paid.
And since DAZN don't show a lot of the boxing cards here either, they can suck my balls.

I usually go fishing with radio as a backup incase I don't catch anything,but there won't be that option this time as coverage is banned,what a bunch of greedy bastards

Exactly. And principles go out the window when you want to see Fury get his arse handed to him so badly. This will only be the 2nd ppv I’ve bought since Froch Groves 2. I think….?
