Bunce - Mayweather/Ortiz did over 40k buys on Primetime

khan ,haye ,froch,klit brothers,tyson fury...are all bigger names to the british public than mayweather,who apart from the hardscore fans dont know who the **** mayweather is.

 

I call bull**** there

 

what he said

 

Funny, my brother is a casual fan and thinks Duke is the best Boxing pundit

 

Sky would have quadrupled this, no?

120,000 views on regular sky vs 40,000 PPV buys

 

I know – imagine celebrating a slowly atrophying audience share…

Shot-term profit, long-term death of the sport in the UK. Well done, PT!

 

If that, he got 99k vs Mosley on the repeat, the live show did less.

 

99k on repeat, plus the live viewing, would surely total about 120,000. If Primetime only had 40,000 buys, it's a lot less.

 

Anything for a quick buck. I hope I'm wrong and if they get Pac-JMM III they have it on for free, but I wont hold my breathe

 

Bad news for us sky s

 

Yeah, probably right. 40k PPV is much more valuable than 120k on Sky though.

The exposure argument doesn't really hold water for someone in Mayweather's stage of his career.

 

'insider' is another Primetime bloke talking 'em up.

**** Primetime :good

 

I honestly wouldnt no how it would work with advertising vs PPV buys etc.

 

You think they would get £5 per viewer in advertising?

I'll admit I'm guessing but I think it very unlikely.

 

This isn't true, I told a girl I watched boxing this weekend, the first question was 'was it that Mayfeather', she doesn't know anything about boxing but knew who he was. People remember him from the Hatton megafight, which was hyped from the rooftops
