    Top call :good

    I talk more of the boxing in general though, the price was always fine there, i think i compared the standard working wage to the PPV price once, seemed ok.

    Australia, best place on earth to watch a boxing PPV :lol:

    Mid Sunday morning if you over West or afternoon if you East, though i dont remember much of the undercards.

    :thumbsup

    well, it might be good for things to collapse and for options to become limited, then all this greed (ppv) might come to an end as promoters and fighters wil be forced to take stock and realise what they need to do and actually start promoting plus people in the business will be forced to come with new innovative, groundbreaking, forward-thinking ideas (super six, i don't think there would've been a time in the last 20 years where you would've got 5 promoters and 6 fighters working together like that) they'll realise they need better marketing and they might also stop putting so much emphasise on the 0.

    there's great potential match-ups
    there's talent coming through
    more fighters taking control of their careers and not getting ripped off

    the fact that this great sport with its problems and enemies still has the capacity to capture the imagination and create stars. The potential fanbase is huge, the future die-hards are out there but are not being tapped into.

    At the end of the day all thats needed is marketable, cross over stars and a exciting dominant heavyweight which is not far fetched and all these problems with alphabet soup straps, sculdugery and unscrupulousness things that are irreparable some of which were all present throughout the history of the sport even when it was in the top three sports in the US, become largly irrelevent, it way get slightly worse before it gets better but the long term future of the sport is good IMO. :good
