    Anyone purchased Joshua fight yet for Saturday? I’m disappointed with undercard! No other title fights on. I’m sure I’ll still pay for it but Price and Campbell not title fights

    Got it sorted. Have an interest as Campbell is from Hull (even though I don't particularly like him) and always interesting to see how Price does. With the Reds being at home and no plans Saturday night, had nothing else to do.

    Wouldn't bother paying. Either find a stream at home or go to a bar and what you'd have spent ordering it, spend on booze.

    The PPV market from the GGG screw job last weekend, to Christmas is far too saturated. Joshua and Fury fights should be PPV. GGG/Alvarez, Khan, Bellew, Warrington fights should not be.

    Triple G v Alvarez is the only one that should be ppv. A genuine 'superfight'.

    Two great fighters. Not sure two foreign guys fighting at 5 am our time, in a country neither have home advantage, is PPV worthy here though. If we get AJ vs Wilder at a similar time PPV would be understandable with a Brit involved.

    Because of AJ’s massive fan base there’s always gonna be a high demand regardless of who he’s fighting. Hearn knows this, he’s a very smart man.
    Same as if Brook fights Khan, the demand would be huge. Definitely gonna be box office.
    Bellew vs Usyk is a huge, huge fight. All 4 Cruiserweight belts on the line, a unified champion and probably Bellews last fight. Huge Fight. Definitely box office worthy. Again, Hearn involved.

    Hearn is very smart and you have hit the nail on the head, whoever he fights demand is high. Shame hopefully if AJ gets through this the pressure will mount on fighting the winner of Fury/Wilder

    To be fair I really enjoyed the GGG canelo fight sometimes the big fights are over hyped and disappoint but in comparison to some of the fights Hearn puts on box office it was worthy of it. Better going down the iptv route though (or so I hear)

    If Luke Campbell loses his career veers off in a very different direction. Huge fight for him

    If Price loses then he's definitely done. For good this time.

    Matty Askin (local favourite).

    Also a fight featuring a 4-0 Russian against another undefeated fighter which is threatening to steal the show.

    Titles don't need to be on the line for an evenly matched and exciting undercard. The quicker we move away from paper titles and focus on the best fights the better.

    Irrelevant of titles it’s actually a really good 4 main fights, lots better than other Hearn PPV’s which have been **** one sided ‘world title’ fights involving likes of Scott Quigg, Jamie McDonnell & Katie Taylor.

    I can’t see any of Campbell - Mendy, Askin - Okolie & Price - Kuzmin not been good fights
