      I can't believe this fights on Primetime. I genuinely shocked.

      Why haven't Sky or Boxnation got it?
      yeah its irelands version of premier sports. same people, different name.

      No idea why sky didnt pick it up. Arum was probably asking too high a price for them and Warren to bite and took a chance on a ppv. It'll bomb so it might be the last time (hopefully).

      I think im working so i wont be getting it. Hopefully its on the net by 7.30am when i get home. Anyone thats asked me what channel this is on (and thats not many) has said **** it they're not paying (and thats after ive tried to explain what primetime is)

        You'd have thought Sky and Boxnation would jump at the chance of getting the coverage.

        If the reason Arum gave it to Primetime is because it's PPV that has to be the worst busniess decision I've heard of in recent years

        Literally 100% of people who aren't Boxing fans don't know the channel exists. A lot of Boxing fans don't even know it exsists.

        They've done zero promotion, literally.

        No doubt it will do terrible numbers.

        I'll end up buying it though.

          Apparently Channel 5 USA will show the 24/7 a day before the fight, I guess that's their idea of promotion

          I'll probably pick this up too not so bad if you get a few mates to chip in.

            We have to pay £10 a month for Boxnation, Sky Sports subscription and £15 just for the Pacquaio-Bradley fight?

            What a joke.
            still get it better than the yanks, and sky sports isnt a channel that is dedicated to boxing.

            but anyway, just get on boxingguru, thats probably what ill be doing because i aint paying nothing for pacquiao, mayweather or top rank unless the best fight the best.

                I've not seen 1 advert for Pacquaio/Bradley. Primetime are a dreadful channel..

                  i saw an advert in the sport pages of the daily star a few days ago. about 1/10 of a page. Towards the end of the sport section where the horse racing results are.

                  They're going all out promoting this one. Must have spent a good £500.

                    Primetime will get nothing from me. I'll download the HBO version.

                      Yeah they're really breaking the bank on this one.

                      Tbf they did send me a text and an email promoting the fight, apparently they'll be showing Manny/JMM trilogy all this week for free to build the fight up.
