Debating if i should order this. Ive only watched one fight on PPV before and it was over in about 60 seconds plus i hate the fact you pay for it and sky still play adverts every couple of rounds.

BUT....i find Antony Joshua very exciting.

There's no way this fight should be on SBO it's way too soon for Joshua to be PPV because he's still a relative up and comer and hasn't exactly proven himself as yet. I've no issue paying for Sky Box Office when it warrants it and have many times throughout the years, however this fight doesn't warrant it in my opinion and should have been on SS1 not SBO. Why are there 5 sports channels if Sky can't show a fight once in a blue moon. There's not a chance I'll be paying for it as much as I'd have liked to have seen the fight. Sky chancing their arm once again it seems in hope it'll pay off. So with that in mind I wish buys are low not that Sky will care.

It is a heavyweight title fight I dont see how you can say he is up and coming. If any fight is going to the a PPV match surely fighting for a world title would be included ?

I just don't think he's ready yet and funny enough I'm not alone in thinking that. My thoughts on AJ are irrelevant but when certain boxing pundits in today's papers are claiming similar then that's the time to sit up and take notice. I just don't believe he's world title material but tonight we shall see.

But fair play to Joshua should he pull this off I will eat this Apple in my hand.

Before the Whyte fight I would of said the same thing but Joshua's fights on sky sports were drawing the biggest views and higher ratings than expected. The Whyte fight drew 400k PPV's which again was not expected considering it was just a domestic bust up. The fury v klitchko fight only drew slightly more.

Any other promoter and network would be doing the same thing if they had such a box office star on there hands. Not doing so is just leaving money on the table.

Never liked this MC. He has never got me excited for a boxing fight.

Why are they asking Audley Harrison of all people on how Joshua can beat Charles Martin

As he stands next to a guy when they fought he did not throw a bloody punch. I like Audley as a person but he was down right awful as a top boxer.

Wow, that was over quick.

Well done AJ but don't think he learnt much from that.

Another Heavyweight champ.

I knew I made the right decision not paying for the fight, I will wait until he fights one of the top heavyweights such as fury, wilder where he really will be tested. I always thought this might be one sided in joshua's favour.

Martin didnt look a very good champion. Be interesting to see Joshua fight someone that can actually move and avoid a punch. If he catches you youre probably going down but someone like Haye is capable of dodging most of his punches for 12 rounds and fighting on the counter

I wonder how Charles Martin won the World title in the first place as he is not really that good

Joshua hits hard fast and clean - that demolition job he just did would end pretty much any opponent. I think he'd simply out box Fury. I've not seen Wilder fight so can't comment on him
