Only 300,000 buys ?

Those are very good numbers, not only has Luke Campbell financially secured his future but he has also raised his profile in the process.

He will have netted £1 million plus for the fight and that buys a lot of rental properties in Hull.

He can properly buy Hull for £1 million lol.

Yes - because it’s the non casual who suffers. The casual can buy into the razzmatazz of Joshua / Fury event & split the cost with a few mates. While the hardcore fan is bled dry.

What we really need is a hardcore version of Tinder where mateless hardcore fans can get together and split the cost of PPVs.

But just like Tinder where stunners turn out to be fat dogs there is always the chance that you match will be really be an AJ loving Casual.....

But if Eddie says no PPV, Frank will offer all the fighters PPV. If they both team up and say no PPV then someone else will come along. The fighters don't and shouldn't care about anyone else's income, they are ones putting their body on the line and paying for their camp.

A non PPV card on Sky brings in roughly £400k which isn't much for all the boxers and their expenses. So it only takes around 50,000 buys to break through that even if Sky contribute zero. I doubt that non terrestrial can generate much income these days either. It's not the era of four channels and your gran tuning in to watch Bruno anymore.

Either pay it or don't pay it but don't moan about the fighters wanting to maximise their income.

Outside of a select few boxers who have promoted themselves, promoters have never worked for the boxers.

Michael Watson went to court to prove the standard BBBoC contract was unenforceable on the basis it was in restraint of trade. Prior to this, the standard contract allowed for a promotor to jointly act as a manager, in effect the promotor was negotiating with himself on the boxer's behalf in his joint capacity as manager.

The contract also allowed for multi-year extensions if certain conditions were met and entitlement to a share of boxers out of the ring earnings.

Prior to TV, the promotors had exclusive arrangements with the larger venues, the board also operated a policy that called for 14 days between major promotions. Therefore if you were not signed to the big promotor of the day you were restricted to small hall shows as all the dates were booked in advance.

Today you have trainers acting in a management capacity for boxers and promotors have exclusive contracts with the TV broadcasters which are both clear conflicts of interest.

Eventually, the PPV stars will become their own broadcasters and streaming service, the Premier League is already looking to move in this direction.
