Froch v Groves ll - 1.3 million buys

Dan Rafael has reported that it did 900k, which if true would mean that it sold less than Mayweather v Hatton.

 

Sources have just revealed that all Boxnation subscribers streamed the fight along with 30 million others

 

Exactly, who the hell pays for boxing these days. It seems any big fight is PPV worthy now in the eyes of the promoter.

 

It's only going to get worse for broadcasters. Within 5 years people will literally be able to watch top fights on very very high quality streams with little to no buffering/lag time. The promotors NEED to contain this stream growth by offering PPV streams for every fight. If they don't do this NOW, they are going to find themselves in too much of a hole. If they offer decent streams for fights, people will definitely pay and less and less people will go looking for illegal streams. I already know a lot of people who have cancelled their BN and Sky and now watch every fight on streaming sites.

 

Very good figures if true

 

Not a hope in hell of stopping the streams.

Takes months to close a site and when it eventually closes - up pops another 5 and the cycle repeats.

Everything is available on the internet now and Aint no stopping it now

 

Indeed which is why it's genuinely baffling why sky don't do PPV streams like top rank do (think eddie said it had something to do with getting people to subscribe to sky, but it's very much cutting your nose to spite your face)

Btw was this fight available on the likes of virgin media and other providers on ppv

 

A bit unfair to say Hatton Mayweather was an unforgettable fight. Thousands travelled to Vegas and the build up was huge, Hatton gave the world number 1 a good contest before being halted late on.

 

??????:rofl

 

UN...forgettable

 

it done nowhere near that random figure that some twat pulled out of the air..
