Genie Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I just read that in the US the PPV price is $79.99! Crazy money. Nobody is really that interested in it but I’m sure they’ll still book close to a million PPV buys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the Mayweather and McGregor one, with all the crazy promotion they put behind it, didn't pique my interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the parents at my lads football was saying they paid the £25 for the ridiculous youtuber event the other week… why??? If it was a genuine BIG event then fair enough. But it’s now PPV for any old shite just so the winner of the very one sided event gets his £40m payday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crackers, I remember reading after his last fight Fury’s PPV numbers are well below where they should be. This one will sell because of the interest across the continent.

flamingsombrero Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Nothing new about a BS exhibition fight and no reason to get overly upset about it. But that's all it is and paying money for it or taking it seriously is absolutely wild. Not even particularly interesting, at least Inoki was allowed to kick against Ali.

leemond2008 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 just opened up VT's off topic and saw the boxing thread, thought I'd pop in and see what was happening, didn't even know this fight was on tonight, I suppose I'll watch it, see how much of a farce it is. Is this Tyson Fury bloke supposed to be any good? how does he compare to the GOAT KSI? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I've been a fan of Tyson Fury over the years, but have grown tired of his antics. Would love if Ngannou could get his " punchers chance " and click him somehow lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're over reaching there, the cynic in me, actually thinks these events have a pre - arranged outcome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingsombrero Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Co-main eventing with a dystopian nightmare is a choice, this commentator would have done a hell of a job at the '36 Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Just read that Wardley stopped Adeleye in the 7th of their grudge match. I thought it would be the way around. I suppose that's justice for Adeleye's pre - fight antics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamingsombrero Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 So far I've wanted to see everyone involved get punched in the face, so I guess it kind of works thematically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 This is ridiculous. I'm so glad the UFC doesn't go for any of this bollocks (and they've had some missteps down the years). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
