Boxing/PPV in France?

[aboustar]

Je pense pas déja qu'il est plus avec les fréres Acariès. Il faudrait qu'il vienne aux etats unis s'améliorer et devenir un nom pour etre reconnu en France.

Rugby is a sport for posh people, thats why the french team is full of white guys, while the french football team is full of black guys rugby is one of the worst sports ever, a bunch of fat guys running about a field chasing a egg is nothing to be proud about

I didn't realize until I got back from Edinburgh that Rugby is the elitist sport and Soccer is the "common man's" sport.

For us in the US, rugby appears much more high contact and masculine than soccer. If I had to fight a soccer or rugby player, I'd take the soccer play everyday of the week.

Just my opinion.

Yep and you're right. Footballers are the biggest ******* in the world. Soccer sounds very much like sucker by the way.

Pay-per-view

The Zenith Phonevision system became the first pay-per-view system tested in the United States. Developed in 1951, it used telephone lines to take and receive orders as well as to de-scramble a broadcast signal. Phonevision field-tests ran for 90 days in Chicago. The system used IBM punched cards to de-scramble a signal broadcast during the broadcast station's "off-time". Both systems showed promise, but the FCC denied them permits. Boxing fans were first introduced to their sport on pay-per-view with the Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier fight "Thrilla In Manila", there was also another in 1980, when Roberto Duran defeated Sugar Ray Leonard. Cable companies offered the match for $10, and about 155,000 customers paid to watch the fight.
