and we havent had one boxing event coverd by them.Told folk at the time they dont have any intentions of becoming some sort of major players .Also there deal with GBP,were has that talk gone...****ing pish from the start
Did anyone honestly believe the **** about them showing more Golden Boy cards though, really? Primetime have tried their hand with boxing over the last couple of years, and presumably by the fact they dropped it and turned to MMA-it wasn't making them money. The recent Khan fight suited both parties. TK wanted a PPV outlet, and Primetime had one. As LP said, they saw the chance to make a bit of money, made it and that was that. Back to MMA.
Going by the posts around at.the time ,yes fokj did...there was posts and threads about how they can nake ppv work etc ...at the end of the day they were just pedeling pish !
We should at least wait til Khans next fight and see if he gives them a chance. Perhaps doubtful but if it was ever gonna happen again its likely to be with the fighter they were linked to
as Rob so accurately pointed out primetimes main problem is the lack of HD and 3D. Once they get that sorted they can take over the entire sporting market
the fact Pascal vs Hopkins 2, a fight Primetime showed first time round, is not going to be on Primetime says allot. Its a shame as I genuinely think they could make it work. Get a deal with a US Promoter and a UK one and put on UK/US split site PPV's 8 times a year. as long as sky and premier continue to pick everything up don't really see the issue.
