The Pay Pay View price for Fury vs Chisora 3 raised eyebrows for many UK fans struggling with the cost of living crisis.
Despite questions from the British boxing community regarding Tyson Fury defeating his opponent Derek Chisora twice, the PPV doesn’t reflect that.
BT Sport Box Office confirmed the price point for the Fury vs Chisora trilogy would be £26.95 [$32].
For a contest with controversy attached, much more could have been done to help households in the run-up to Christmas.
At present, Many are also wondering when the rest of the Fury vs Chisora undercard announcement will come.
Currently, only seven bouts are penciled in for what should be a super-sized PPV for that price.
Fury vs Chisora PPV price
For a Pay Per View at over thirty bucks a pop, the rest of the card away from the Tyson Fury vs Derek Chisora III and Daniel Dubois vs Kevin Lerena double-headed main event looks wafter-thin.
Frenchman Yvan Mendy will defend his European lightweight title against Denys Berinchyk.
The other quartet is Karol Itauma, Fury’s cousin Hosea Burton, friend Isaac Lowe, and Royston Barney Smith.
Three of those four now have a foe, with Hosea Burton left to confirm his appearance.
With BT Sport Box Office selling the event for more than the Deontay Wilder fight, the whole affair leaves much to be desired.
The second encounter in 2014 saw the pair booed out of the arena as Fury completely dominated and stopped Chisora.
BT Sport is even billing the fight “Never Say Never” and comparing it to the ultimate underdog story.
