That’s why I always say boxing fans are suckers. No other sport puts up with PPV like boxing does, particularly for mediocre events which could easily be put on without it.

Only way to stop the greed is not pay, hit them in their pockets instead of ours. It's just a joke now, the 3 British PPV's does not have a genuine world title bout on any of them

Well said Tony.
Don't encourage them has always been my motto. It's a business and they should have to adjust to the market and the market says " your taking the piss"
Sure there are fights that are PPV - four belt unifications or at least proper unifications where the greedy orgs take a big cut from the fighters.
But Itauma vs the ghost of Dillian Whyte
Parker vs Wardley
Eubank vs Benn
Bene vs Yarde
Del Boy vs Whyte
Nope.

expensive night as a fight fan if you are into the UFC as well.
DAZN doing an excellent job promoting fire sticks.

I think the list of PPV cards which are genuinely PPV worthy in the UK is a lot shorter than the list of PPV cards which are not.KiwiRider wrote: ↑24 Oct 2025, 14:10Well said Tony.

We have like 2-3 PPV’s a year max.
Sometimes even just 1 in the year.

They'll do as many PPVs as possible and charge as much as possible as long as their are suckers willing to pay it.
Re: No More PPV’s!

The PPVs have got so bad that most pubs don’t even bother showing them. Imagine that 15 years ago.

Warren has a great stable of boxers - yet today's undercard is poor. He could easily have given us something worth paying for.

Should showcase them in these PPV undercards.
Thing is, why would he. When he can use those big fights as their own headliners.

Just looked at tonight’s card, I don’t recognise most of the names, how this is PPV I don’t know.

Same happened to Canelo though, his fight with Crawford was Netflix worldwide. although many still have a sub for Netflix, you still have to pay. Whereas normally, it's on free television.
crazy times.

Against someone that most Japanese boxing fans probably haven't heard of. If it was against Nakatani I think it would work but not against Picasso.mickey1975 wrote: ↑31 Oct 2025, 07:35 Turki has put Inoue's next fight on PPV in Japan. The first time he hasn't been free to watch there...
