    I bought every single Prem Plus spurs game. The reason football is not reguarly on PPV is because it can make more money from advertising revenue. Boxing cannot.

    So primetime agree a deal with Top Rank, Gary Shaw and Lou DiBella to show the fight, a revenue split of PPV sales. Then primetime have to do all the set up and advertising. It takes allot of time and it costs them money.

    And when it comes to 4am 100 people have paid for the PPV and everyone on this site and everyone other boxing fan in the UK is watching an ilegal stream or will download in the next day.

    Thats why the fight is not on TV. Its will lose them money.

    How long has Johnson had to prepare for this. It doesn't seem long ago we just found out he was fighting?
