Boxing could be major again. It was huge in the 1990s before the Watson/McClellan injuries put a lot of people off. With improved safety measures and terrestial coverage it could go big again. The 600-700,000 sales that Haye-Harrison did @ £15 tells you that boxing can capture the imagination. If Haye-Harrison had been on ITV I reckon it would have done 10 million viewers.

ITV could sort out PPV through Primetime or a similar set-up. Primetime cannot attract the biggest fights/the publicity but ITV could. I would also think Channel 5 might consider boxing as a broadcast possiblility.

Yes and what percentage of the revenue of the Sky Box Office ppv would it have done?
