IF they are casual I dont think they are gonna pay up when the option of free boxing is there - It's gonna be interesting to see what they sell. I'm only buying it for Enzo, if his fight is called off I wont be buying at all.
We're talking about the UK here. If Khan wasn't fighting the Pac-DLH would be on regular Sky Sports. Even Floyd-DLH wasn't PPV here. Sky are just adding Pac-DLH to tempt people. Khan is the attraction of this PPV for the general public.
Well is anyone surprised this was always gonna be the plan but Khan went an lost so FW had to come up with something else but cause Cook has dropped out for whatever reason FW has gone back to the original plan with Khan headlining Enzo Mac may be fighting for world title but despite what Flint Island thinks he he isnt really known by Joe Public so him headlining isnt really gonna be a draw, whereas Khan is well known and as much as I hate the glass chinned fool it makes more sense for him to headline Heres hoping he gets sparked again
To me the 2 interesting fights for boxing fans are Enzo-Banks and Pac-Oscar. Khan may just get the football crowd in?
Correct but boxing fans are a minority and the majority of buys will come from the football fans, those who think Glen Johnson plays for Portsmouth .
The only reason this is on PPV is because of Khan. SKY putting Khan on as the main event shows you that. Casual fans could'nt give a **** about De Le Hoya and Pacquiao or any of the other fighter's. Hardcore fans could'nt give a **** about any of the other fighter's and are only buying it because Pacquiao is P4P king and taking a big risk against a modern great in a freak show fight. How many people here woud pay for this without pac vs Hoya? Froch vs Pascal is free and far more interesting.
Who is on the undercard of Pac vs Hoya? I am tempted to give this a swerve and just watch the ITV show.
