    Anyone watching this? I can't wait. Kell Brook is one of my favourite boxers but this is a 50-50 fight for me. Him, Spence and Thurman are probably the 3 best welterweights so it's great to see 2 of them against each other.

    Heart says Kell by TKO in round 5.

    Head says Kell by SD after a gruelling 12 rounds.

    Oh for the old days when boxing was just on tv.

    Now it's a pay per view bank roll

    While I agree that it's pretty **** to have PPV it's one of the few things keeping boxing going now. The vast majority of boxers earn next to nothing, even many world champions don't earn enough to retire. So if it helps keeps the best athletes involved etc then maybe it's not all bad.

    Does any of these riches flow down?

    If its kept to a select few, hows it help journeymen type boxers?

    Agreed...interesting in his interview that Groves said he was conscious of the punishment he was giving the Russian and the damage he did to his previous opponent. That could have proved costly under different circumstances.
