        This has been a good learning session for me...

        If you are a fight fan,its much better to be in England...cheaper anyway.

          Nobody would have bought it. It may have been a super-fight for you Americans, but it wasn't over here.

          And, because Calzaghe's promoter was signed to a TV network that doesn't do PPV.

            You're so full of ****. The Tszyu fight did 200,000 PPV buys and that was hardly prime time viewing.

            The Magee fight had 350,000 viewers.

            In 1 year alone Hatton was mainly responsible for cumulative viewing figures of 3mil on Sky TV.

            Even the Maussa fight got 132,000 PPVs.

            Google mother****er. Learn how to use it instead of just inventing ****, you freak.

              I agree to that.
              PPV sucks big-time. Not because of me having to pay money, but limiting the public access to the big fights, means possible new fans have to be lured in by crappy weekday cards and so on.. They are killing boxing, and I can only applaud the fighter/promoter/network for doing it differently.

                  Holyfield was fighting and the Lewis-Tyson build-up.

                      It was probably more than 200k given that Warren was trying to belittle him in that interview. Prove me wrong, dip****.

                      Holyfield was fighting at prime UK viewing time, was he? Thought not. Sorry, but nobody stays in on a Saturday night to watch a 10 minute fight build up.

                      Yes it did, found the link earlier. Prove me wrong.

                      The Urango fight had 1.5mil US viewers too.
