Pacquiao-Marquez III Going To Primetime?

robbing ****s, surely its criminal to be doing what there doing

 

i ****ing hope not!!

 

Well I aint gonna be paying £15 for every big fight as well as my sky sports subscription. I already spend enough so can't justify spending this all the time. I thin k they should knock the price down to a fiver if they are gonna put it on all the time and then its affordable.

 

I really don't think you need to get upset guys. Maybe I'll look foolish in a couple of months but there is NO WAY these are going to be successful. There is a reason Sky haven't run these kind of fights on PPV. There is a limited market for boxing anyway let alone on PPV, at 4am without regular television

 

The reason Sky haven't done it is mainly because they're a bigger company and already take in millions every month, it wouldn't be worth it to the business.

How much do you think Sky would be willing to pay for broadcast rights to a US fight like this in the early hours? £50,000 at most? Now obviously there are other costs involved but at £15, Primetime only need 3,000 buyers to nearly match that. If they can get 10,000 it's 3 times the money that Sky would normally pay.

If tonight's card gets bought in the 5 figures, it's a success for Primetime and more will likely follow.

 

:good

 

Or cancel your Sky subscription and put the cash towards Primetime PPVs....

 

Alternatively, just by the ppvs you want to watch and don't subscribe to other channels who could buy these fights if they wanted.
Personally I won,t be cancelling anything but we,re laying the blame at the wrong door.

 

:good I like this plan Gaz!!!

 

What a pile of crap! Do you think any channel shows boxing for morals? They show programmes that they hope you,ll pay for in order to make massive profits.
If you're complaining that you want Mayweather, Pacman and Khan for free on Sky, complain to them. They could buy these fights if they wanted to. After all you're paying them the best part if 100 quid a month!

 

atsch

 

the football you get on sky is to good to stop the subscription

 

Primetime and Sky Boxoffice are killing boxing :verysad

My bill is nearly £100 a month and they put PPV's on at 3am... WTF?!

Lynchburg

 

You know how much ppv is in America? 60 dollars for a big fight. Thats what they are paying tonight. We are paying 23 dollars=15 pounds.

For once, we are getting things cheaper than the Americans. Stop blaming primetime, they are a business, like sky.

 

The Yanks ain't stayin' up til **** knows when though are they?
