    They may as well not broadcast it at all on ITV, no one will pay for anyway. Futile exercise.

    Was really looking forward to this fight and I don't mind a ppv but I'm not going to buy this...would be fine if it was a fiver at most but not paying the best part of a score.

    Don't normally care about ppv sale numbers but will be interested in finding out how well this does.

    Pacquiao is still a huge name in the UK and hardcore boxing fans know how good Thurman is.

    A 50/50 fight between two world class welterweights.

    At 5am and no British fighter.

    I get your point but this won't sell well, at all.

    Is anyone gonna buy this? I said at the time that AJ and Tyson shouldn’t be on PPV but let’s be fair, they have their fans who will buy anything. Just a ridiculous PPV but then again , they were sticking Eubank Jr on PPV against absolutely anyone.

    Doesn’t that lose money from international tv rights ?
    Golovkin essentially will lose money from Sky not buying the UK TV Rights

    This. The point with PPV isn't about quality. It's about popularity.

    It's laughable. Would love to know who bid for this at ITVs end. Could see him being out of a job shortly

    You can thank the 'only the price of a dominos' brigade for that one.

    The people had the power to stop the PPV juggernaut by refusing to shell out. They didn't and now we live in an age where the mug public are taken advantage of so that mediocre fighters can earn seven figure paydays.

    This shouldn't even be a PPV in US, pathetic.
