Was the Anthony Joshua vs Kubrat Pulev show value for money?
Broadcasts
THE final UK pay-per-view of 2020 finished with a bang as Anthony Joshua flattened Kubrat Pulev in nine rounds, but boy did we have to wait a while to get there. It was around 11.20pm UK time when the final right hand landed, meaning the whole broadcast had been going for roughly five hours.
It was certainly a case of quantity over quality. Of course, those that paid the £24.95 price tag probably weren’t doing so for the undercard; it was to witness Joshua defend his heavyweight belts, which he did in style. The fight was by no means a classic but it was interesting to see where “AJ” is at after his two fights with Andy Ruiz last year. It’s interesting that this show comes just a week before DAZN makes its UK debut – for £1.99 a month – with Canelo Alvarez vs Callum Smith, one of the best fights on paper this year.
