I'm struggling with this move for Broner, really struggling.  Garcia a huge price and keeps getting bigger and i have no idea why.

[McGlashan]

Every man and their dog is picking Mikey yet he's now 1.58 from a low of 1.2. Where's all this Broner money coming from and can he really turn his career around?

Yeah I don't get it. It's an empty the clip job at the current prices for me but the money keeps coming for Broner which almost makes me think its dodgy. Miley is dfferent gravy to Broner

It's bizarre how far the market has moved. Miller Washington is a fun trash heavyweight fight on the undercard. Big baby is a formidable lump who'll probably make Washington quit and there's the chance either man could gas with in the 10 rounds.

Clip emptied. Mikey Garcia is never ever ever an 8/13 shot here

[Bazzaboy]

And he wins like the 1/5 shot he should have been.

you know i am not a fan of the charade of PR (fake fights at weigh ins and all that WWE crap to sell tickets to the gullible) in boxing but...

i thought this was a really good piece of writing

Excellent.


"When you have nothing to sell, sell the spectacle. Sell the racism. Sell the hate"

These days, folks love to hate, it turns them on. Just read some of the threads on the blonde Sports Board & you'll see it every day. It's very sad to see grown-ups getting their kicks from hating & dissing everyone & everything.

Millions will subscribe to PPV to watch this charade, but none of them will be expecting or hoping to see good skills exhibited. They just want to see the hate.

McG v Money £19.95 on sky boxoffice just announced by Eddie Hearn on his twitter page. Massive discount for uk punters compared to the $100 usa price on PPV.  Same price as watching Bellew and numerous other UK carthorses on box office over the years.  It is incredible how box office in uk literally charges the same price whatever wwe event makes it there on.  Every WWE PPV is £19.95 whether it is a run of the mill one or one of the big four.  Boxing seems to go down the same route.  It's like they are scared to charge more than £20.  I thought this would have pushed the barriers at £49.99.   Maybe all the illegal streams are getting into sky's strategy.  Why doesn't it effect the USA PPV price though?

Think that was the same as we paid for Pacman v Floyd, too.

Fiver less than I pay a month for my mag254

At £20 a pop they'll shift 1.5 million buys and avoid the likes of AJ asking for a payrise. Other platforms aren't as good at selling PPV's thus Sky don't have much competition for the UK TV rights. They'll likely sneak in a couple of pound payrise every so often and continue to dilute the standard Sky fight night.

Fyi Yanks charge 4x as much but do a 1/4 the buys per head.

My local casino is charging £10 entry fee to the casino after midnight that night for any non member or member who hasn't been there in the last 2 years.  Presume all G casinos are charging the same nationally?

How much do pubs/clubs etc. have to pay to show PPV's?

[Bazzaboy]

GG Wlad. An underrated heavyweight and Manny Steward's finest work.

[Dacorb]

Was half hoping for a rematch with Joshua, think it's the right decision though
