If i knew the outcome i certainly wouldnt feel short changed if i had paid for the fight. Bunce said there would need to be 250,000 for it to just break-even so i wouldnt consider 100,000 a sucess
250,000 wouldve given a huge profit to all concerned. I dont see Frank making a big loss on the fight in the short term with 100,000 buys, long term, well, who is the cash cow now. In the last few years he's lost <deep breath> Hatton Calzaghe Harrison Arthur beat on Saturday Khan beat on Saturday Skelton beat Danny Williams beat by big aud Big Aud proves to be rubbish post that fight Kevin Mitchell goes blood and guts with johannesson proving he'll struggle above british level Enzo maccarinelli beat Who's left? Pryce, Jennings?
Doubt Sky had much outlay really bar some people time, the booking line, and some ads promoting the event. Wouldn't surprise me if they didn't actually pay for the rights, but just offered to take a smaller % of the PPV leaving all the risk on Warren. I'm intrigued to know what numbers it did.
