    Presumably Sky are hoping that Khan can still attract some buyers, though his first PPV didn't do good numbers. Certainly neither DLH nor Pacquaio are PPV material for the UK market.

    It's a rip off. I wont pay very much for this farce/joke of a fight. If I can get it on an international website, I'll be happy watching it like that. GPB is notorious for putting on **** undercards. Thanks, Oscar and Richard Schaefer!:good

    because most big Us fights are shown "free" (its a subscription channel) on setanta, not PPV, like bhop vs pavlik for example.
    its only like a big Brit domestic fight like say froch vs calzaghe would NOT be on ppv in the US either, pac vs hoya is more or less a domestic US fight

    Basically we've been spoiled, the braindeads in Britain seem to think Hatton is PPV worthy but Pacquiao aint, it shows what a country of ******s we have.

    Because nobody outside of hardcore boxing fans have heard of them, and you don't make money from a PPV by selling to a target group of hardcore boxing fans at 4am.

    Hardcore?

    Even someone who is slightly interested in boxing (Hatton fans are mostly just football fans turned Hatton-huggers) has heard of Manny Pacquaio, hes #1 p4p fighter in the world ffs not some bum.

    Pac-Hoya is a dismal joke, and a non title event. It is a blatant rip off and an abomination. Typical GBP.

    Oscar De La Hoya, by all statistics, is the biggest boxer of all time. I bet that if I went into the street and asked 50 people if they knew who Oscar De La Hoya is, over 40 would say no.
