    Pacman vs Mosley is not PPV.

    I think they could get away with putting that on SBO.

    I've always wondered why the likes of Pac vs Margarito/Clottey and Floyd vs DLH/Marquez/Mosley were not PPV on Sky.

    We have to give Sky some credit for putting those fights on regular Sky Sports. The poor american ****s have to shell out 50 quid to watch those fights.

    Well European fights don't get on American PPV, so it shouldn't be different the other way around.

    sky have never charged for the ppv fights from usa as far as i can remember unless there is a big brit fighting in them, we all stay up for that anyway so we would pay for the ppv.

    Wow, you actually want to help them take money from us!

    The fights are on way too late and the powers that be have enough trouble trying to make our domestic fighters big enough names to put on PPV.

    Americans get ****ed over. I don't know how they can afford cable every month and also pay for UFC and boxing PPVs every month.

    I think we must pay a much higher cable charge than them. sky sports and espn in HD costs £60.

    I guess its because the fighters are all foreign and the fights are on too late.I think if they were on around 10pm British time they would be ppv.

    I don't understand why people equate Sky Sports to being free. I shell out roughly £25 quid per month for Sky Sports on top of the £15 quid i pay for the other channels.

    I bloody well expect some 'free' boxing on Sky Sports if I'm paying that sort of money.

    Sky have in a way laod out the template for future PPV fights. European based fight with a British name against a live contender or a marginal contender but with 'names' on the undercard or simply a stacked domestic card with a possible twinning with a big American card.
