Yeah Tyson vs Bruno 2 was the first Sky PPV

 

Bruno vs Tyson was the first one on Sky Box Office, interesting in those days you could get a fight for a reduced price of £10 if you ordered it early, maybe they should bring that back.

 

I wonder what Hopkins vs Pavlik did..... I'm sure that was PPV.

There's a general theme developing on both sides of the pond really, that certain fighters seem to be guaranteed on PPV, plus in America they give one promoter preferential treatment over all the others.

I've highlighted a few that I don't think are PPV worthy. Strange that DLH vs Shane I wasn't PPV.

Over here the fighters need to be told that PPV isn't an endless pot of gold..... the fight has to be significant for it to go on PPV. I'm not just talking about micky mouse alphabet fights.

As I'm getting Groves vs DeGale I don't mind paying extra for a top domestic fight.... it's a more significant fight to British boxing than either of Ricky Burns' defences to date, more than almost all the European fights we get on SFN too.

 

Not sure if that is the complete list or just the "big fights" it not easy to look up


In terms of the UK does anyone know/remember how many Lewis/Hamed fights where on PPV?
