Oh and Brook was superb. He along with Small/ Hall made it worthwhile. But remember my tickets were Free had I paid I might have been a little disappointed.
£45? Where the **** are you getting that...Sky is about £15 is it not? In Denmark they pay about that much to watch Kessler, but Denmark are richer. I'd pay to watch: Kessler The super six tournament Mayweather-Pac Pac-Cotto Maybe Haye against Valuev or the Klits Genuine matchups, no bull****.
You are paying that anyway. It's not part of the PPV, most people are already paying that with the other Sports in mind presumably. It's deceptive to say a PPV costs £45. Scrap Pac-Cotto. I'd find somewhere else to watch that because I'm not convinced its a competitive matchup.
People would actually PAY to watch Mayweather-Marquez? :? I'm honestly shocked by that. Doesn't look a great styles mesh and there is a risk its uncompetitive.
I'd payeto watch Haye, Hatton and Froch. As for khan he would have to be fighting a known fighter. Watching a hyped up no body against a no body isn't worth £15.
its sad really, boxing must be the only sport where its biggest stage/events crucial to generating a new fanbase is targeted to such a limited viewership what would i pay for? personally i watch any boxing i can get ppv or not, i should probabily not pay for some of these shitty ppvs, but i need my boxing fix, televised boxing is few and far between anyway so if i have the means i pay
I'd pay for any PPV involving a British fighter. And im willing to pay for any PPV that involves Pacquiao or Mayweather.
i never denied the sport was going through a difficult time, my arguement was against the reason given for its apparent demise, the insecent regurgitation of boxing abolitionists/enemies lines and people not seeing the positives
The positives are we have a brilliant tournament coming up. Less money in boxing, and the financial times mean promoters are going to be forced to take risks. We are seeing that with the above. If Khan was a massive PPV failure that is a positive thing because Frank Warren and Sky will know they can't match him up with unknowns.
