Not happy about this fight being on SKY Box Office? Sign the online petition, which will be presented to Matchroom Sports and SKY within the next couple weeks.

No I will not pay for it. The cost of Sky is a joke as it is putting a fight like this on PPV is just exploiting people. If you can have the World Cup / Champions League finals without PPV then asking people to pay extra to watch Bellew and Cleverley is a total piss take.

It's a disgrace to be fair. The fight might be decent but that's all it will be.

Two slightly above domestic level cruiser-weights, fighting to avenge/settle a feud that no-one gives two hoots about!

Seriously falling out with the whole ringside/matchroom double act right now. This is not how boxing should be for the already paying fans, telling us one thing and then robbing us blind at the slightest whiff, a tiny glimmer of a nostrils whisker, that we might actually get to see a 60/40 fight on our Sky Sports screens. Beyond madness.

I'm more likely to cancel sky sports than pay for this fight. Its a complete joke to have this on PPV with skysports costing the money that it does every month. I don't mind shelling out for boxing, but I don't watch any other sports so its already a lot of money with allegedly and skysports, but putting a fight like this on PPV is taking the piss.

Utter contempt towards boxing fans this is. This would be like charging football fans an additional fee for an FA cup semi-final between Newcastle & Sunderland.

I've been considering cancelling Sky for sometime. Since BT Sports came in to play Sky no longer have had a monopoly on all the big sporting fixtures but that hasn't stopped them charging a premium. The majority of boxing I watch is also on BN, again, an extra subscription. Even watching my TV in HD costs me extra which is a shambles in itself. They should provide the best image reoslution as standard, I wonder if they'd cut my subscription if I ask for my picture to be beamed to me in black and fornicating white.

Putting this domestic rematch between 2 European level bafta-winners on PPV is the last straw for me. I wasn't even happy about paying for Froch-Groves 2 given the amount of fornicating money i hand over to Sky, but at least that was a 'once-in-a-decade type of event'. I'm phoning them tomorrow and telling them to shove their subscription up their money grabbing arseholes.
