Why is Pacman vs Marg on Sky Sports and not Sky Box Office

no british fighters involved

 

If there are no british fighter they dont put it on PPV in Britain. same as Pac man Cotto, mayweather Mosely etc

 

No casual fans know who either are and even true fans of the sport aren't that fussed.

 

We have to accept boxing's a minority sport, mostly because of Sky in the 90s.

 

But paying for Haye/Harrison is ok?

 

The only one who is an ''ignorant ****in imbecile'' is you. Just because someone wants to watch a fight it makes them that? I dont think Margarito should be allowed to fight but you come across as pure ignorant coming out with something like that.

 

I was thinking that maybe they'd get more people watching it if they put it on the PPV. I don't know how many people normally watch fights on Sky Sports at 2 in the morning but if a good proportion of the people who bought the Haye fight felt they had to stay up as they had already paid for the Pac fight too isn't it possible they'd get more viewers which would help sell future Pac fights?

I could be totally wrong.

 

I get to watch Rigondeaux for free? Sweet

 

not many would buy it but many will watch it for free.

 

I remember Kostya Tszyu-Ben Tackie being on Box Office as part of the Naz-Manuel Calvo PPV as well

 

I also know FOR A FACT that Hopkins - De La Hoya was on sky box office, although last time I brought it up here everyone argued against this, despite the fact that I provided evidence. That's the last fight involving a non-British fighter that I remember being on SBO

 

On SBO on it's own or was there another fight on the same night?

 

I can't remember there being another fight on in the evening. But they had previously shown the Hopkins - De La Hoya double bill, on which DLH fought Sturm to help build up the event.

 

:think
I cant imagine that did great numbers on Box Office.

 

Got it slightly wrong - it was the Hopkins - Allen, DLH - Sturm double bill card that was on SBO. I'm not sure about the DLH Hopkins fight itself.
