Looking at the calender we've 3 PPV weekends back to back

GGG Canelo 2 £17 on BT
AJ Povetkin £20
Groves Smith on ITV box office will be in the region of 10-15 quid.

Among those cards I'm paranoid Oscar hands out some serious brown envelopes to keep Golden Boy above water, Okolie Askins sounds good on paper but has the potential to stink like Mckenzie Askins and AJ with money on his mind has been fighting cautiously. Fingers crossed none of that happens.

On which note, @SUMUKCricket notes on Twitter;


"The GGG fight was being advertised in America. $84.95. Unbelievable."

One noticeable difference is the Americans don't have ad breaks whereas our coverage is rammed full of them. A certain broadcaster even sneak in a cheeky ad break between Joshua's ring walk and the national anthems. Without them we'd pay double. The disparity is not quite as huge as it first appears.

Ahh, never knew that, fair comment.

The ads do my head in, would happily pay a bit more to swerve them.

Probs not $85 though. Marky on the other hand...

If it was $85 for PPV, then I'd just be buying tickets

Correct on both counts. He's got more money than Eddie Hearn. Not as good looking though.

I'd gladly be a few million behind Eddie, nevermind a few quid!

Good sitdown with AJ.

[McGlashan]

Dunno what to say about Hearn announcing a tidy Copperbox card whilst managing to keep every world title fight off of regular Sky. On the plus side he's got a sick sense of humour tempting Pricey to get in with Kuzmin at a week odds notice, the big fella is must see in a car crash sort of way.

[Marky147]

They got clashes in their shows, as well. Eddie was on about it last night.

Barry 'Oh, you want me to go to NY'.

Eddie 'No, Copperbox'.

Eddie did say that Price was training for a fight with Seam Turner, so he's fit.

[McGlashan]

Aye, from little fat Sean Turner to big Kuzmin.

[Marky147]

Aye, from little fat Sean Turner to big Kuzmin.

Didn't even know who it was, just that Eddie said he was fit

Presume he's getting a good few quid, fighting on that card.

[Marky147]

Dave Allen 'I was offered the kuzmin fight and I can confirm if he gets sat down the money in his back pocket would soften the fall nicely'

[Bazzaboy]

Usyk v Bellew signed.

Fair play, I didn’t think Bellew would want a piece of that.

[Marky147]

On my birthday, too.

Be a good scrap, whatever happens.

What you think happens tonight, chaps? Same as last time?

[McGlashan]

Canelo was way too hot headed at the weigh in for a fighter who'll have to get everything right on the night. PED's and a reminder about the knee brace means im back on board with a slightly declining GGG.

Also, did anyone spot Spike's pay packet of $400k!

[Marky147]

You sure that's not just all smoke and mirrors?

Try to hype up what has been a pretty dull build up, even with all the controversy surrounding it.
