    You're not doing much to change the view of many foreigners that Americans are ignorant (not saying that's my view)

    I see your point, his many haters would try to turn fault back on him for refusing OSDT. I think he should stick firm on the 50-50 and make it known it's "take it or leave it", "step up or punk off" time for Floyd. Going down to 45-45 +10% for the winner he's negotiating with Floyd and continuing to feed that ego and it gives some legitimacy to Floyd's bull**** offer when it should be considered a joke (ppl actually trying to justify it now)

    Hatton got the record I think it is 1.2 million.

    Not sure about Lewis but Haye has sold big numbers against Valuev and Wlad Klitishko.

    Khan well known but not as big as Hatton.

    I don't think it would have done 200,000 as I seem to remember Khan vs Mccloskey didn't even do anywhere near that number and that was in the UK, Pacquaio's fights are on at 4 in the morning so I wouldn't expect those numbers unless it was against a well known name to the UK fans.

    I know.

    I was taking the **** out of your economy, by insinuating that the dollar is Weak as ****.

    It is still weak, and i was just over emphasising the point.

    :good

    All Manny being on PPV means that Boxnation didn't want to pay for it, Arum will have made it an unreasonable price.

    Boxnation is a subscription channel and is not free.....Manny is on Primetime and will do about 25 buys, worst channel ever.

    primetime is indeed shite just like this thread..
     
  13. For a start dip****. Boxnation doesn't do ppv. They just buy the rights and its a monthly subscription to a boxing channel.
    The Pacquiao fight is not on Boxnation, it;s with Primetime who are a famously unpopular in the uk but have an agreement with GBP. They only do ppv and not subscription.
    Boxnation pulls in way higher viewing figures. Your twisting stats to fit your agenda.
    Idiot.

    I know I have Boxnation. I'm annoyed I have to pay out £15 to watch this on PPV.
    I normally get to watch the fights on SkySports or Boxnation.

    But I suppose Manny is the number 1 boxer in the UK right now which is why we have to pay £15 for his fight.

    I'm not twisting nothing, I'm sure Mayweather would rather his fight charged £15 rather than just went out on a subscription channel.

    But there probably wasn;t enough demand to put floyd on PPV. oh Well.

    I agree.

    Not the bit about my thread being ****. But i agree that primetime is.

    The quality is terrible, so is the commentary and sound quality. I always resent having to pay for it.
