Yes.

Of course, historically speaking, the bill is still nowhere near PPV worthy, but as fans we are starved of these sorts of fights and two good well matched top domestic dust ups, is a lot better than we get for bloody ages

I'll be buying it anayway - got mates coming round so it's already a done deal at the Butcher residence. Would love it if Bomber gets the fight

:DDD

and me.

In this instance, I just have to see Groves V DeGale. I would break out in cold sweats knowing it was happening and I wasn't seeing it.

Tony Bellew ''It's Getting Closer People''

Does this mean Bellew vs Cleverly is close to done? I really hope so, it's a better fight than Clev vs Brahmmer.

If they had sold it Groves Vs Degale and Bellew Vs Clev from the start i'd have being less inclined to moan. I will def buy this if they put Bellew in with Clev. Anyone else and i'll catch it online.

I'd buy it with or without Cleverly on the bill, but I'd love to see this come off.

There's the built-in excuse of a short notice change of opponent on both sides, both are under Wazza's umbrella, so whovever loses won't be in freefall as far as a comeback goes.

I'm not optimistic though, surely those with Bellew's interests at heart would steer him clear until he's ready for the step up. That said, at 28 he's not getting any younger and he definitely has talent, not to mention the ability to end the fight with a single punch. It might turn out to be a calculated risk that pays off.

If the Groves/Degale fight is over in 1 or 2 rounds, having Cleverly in a well-matched fight, even if it goes the same way, will leave much less of a bitter taste.

Cleverly's got time on his side though, he might not want it. Why face a known puncher with potentially more risk attached than the original opponent when you could just fight a scrub and lay the blame at Braehmer's door. Which is perfectly unreasonable, although sh*t for us.

I've ordered it earlier this week. I've seen Tony box a few times and he'd give it a real go but I imagine World level would be a bit too far at this moment. If he wants it and his team are behind him then stranger things have happened; (Steve Robinson anyone?)

PPV Hysteria. I don't really follow it, especially when the tickets are upwards of £50 a pop each.

It's £15 for a night's boxing.

Equivalents:

60 B&H
An expensive round in a trendy winebar
An overpriced meal for two at somewhere like Pizza Express (one course, no drinks) !
Five miles in a taxi

If two people go halves and get a few bottles in and some snacks; you've got a good night for a score each. Done.

I will happily pay my 15 quid for Bellew-Cleverly and Degales-Groves. Let's hope we get at least four live fights and no more of marathon analysis and that big effing touchscreen.

Thats bollocks mate - how's about paying £20 a month membership fee to drink in that wine bar already ?

And you've never been Pizza Express if you think a meal for two can be had for £15.00 :D
