    I don't know, maybe I'm being stupid/missing something. But I still don't understand how it will be cheaper for us. Sky and Primetime will compete to get a fight (I don't know how the payments work, a percentage of the revenue?), but that would mean Khan's team gaining more money. Then to cover there higher costs, the channel (whether it be Sky or Primetime) will have to sell more, or increase the price marginally for the same number of customers.

    And with the PPV car comparison, the PPV is the only place you can buy that specific fight, so you can't shop around looking for cheaper prices.

    As I said maybe I'm missing something, but Khan will probably be back on Sky in 2012.

    Are you ******ed, this is the complete opposite of shopping around for a car, if both operators want a fight they have to PAY MORE to the promoter in order to show it. Then whats the logical way to make this extra back? Charge less? I don't ****ing think so, the prices will steadily rise as the biggest fights cost the competing operators more to show.

    On Degale, I don't think so, Groves has a bigger chance with the press hes received because of Haye to become PPV fighter

    When negotiating a deal, Khan has more power now, because of his decision to switch to Primetime. He can negotiate better terms as hes not reluctant to go elsewhere should the deal turn sour>Primetime

    I believe there won't be any real PPV stars in the future for the UK honestly, unless you can attract a cult following like Hatton, Murray had the chance but his defeat will be a setback, or your famous outside of the ring like Khan and Haye

    Appealing to the casual fans will be harder for fighters like Froch, unless he can get into the papers for other reasons apart from boxing

    This all depends on the REAL numbers the fight did, if it sold bollock all it won't make a difference, i've said before SKY is only interested in what it can make, if what it can make is **** all, it's not interested

    That is the point! With only 1 compnay in the mix they can shaft us how they want to and for as much as they want to.

    If a Khan-Mayweather fight happens then Khan definitely has more bargaining power to push a better deal with Sky. Even, Khan-Brook, I think they have more advantages now to pursue a better deal.

    Groves isnt a PPV fighter, but might be one in the future, so too Degale, but only if they are in real, interesting world title fights.

    There is no one else out there that looks like a PPV fighter. I still think Froch has exciting fights ahead of him and he will get some PPV exposure on Sky. And Sky one thing you have to hand to Sky, is that they know how to hype **** out of a fight - they will sell Froch - his style and the fights he is in, warrants PPV exposure.

    With two channels there is no difference, because only one can show that fight, therefore they are the only one selling that product, so its the exact same situation, isn't it?

    yes. in fact maybe worse because the cost to initially pick up the fight will be higher if both want it.

    that's a lie. unless you own google, which you don't. and if someone was that successful and had that kind of money, and still spent their free time on the internet sucking khan's grundle then they must be an absolute ****. so which are you - a bullshitter or a ****? you decide :good

    Yes clearly Im ******ed!

    What Im saying is whilst there is only 1 operator they can charge as much as they like. There are more way's of increasing revenue than making the PPV more expensive.

    Seems like we got a bunch of experts on here, Im certainly not an expert just giving my opinion.

    No, my TV is top of the range. Your eyesight must be impaired, preventing you from noticing the clearly substandard picture quality offered by primetime. I suggest you get your eyes tested. Or stop being such a huge wanker, whichever you'd prefer.
