[iron mike tyson]

Cool, the point was though, i dont think many people are gonna pay to watch this especially after seeing calzaghe free on itv, lol.

Ive made a poll about it now so we can discuss it in there.

everbody who fights on ppv have been on free to air television at some point in there careers. mayweather dlh jones jr hatton tyson lewis have all been on free to air television
to be succesful on ppv u need a fan base

Well many people did turned him into a god after the Lacy fight.

Well boxing isn't all that great in America too, **** WWE and UFC makes more money then boxing. BTW I've been to London 3 times and soon to be 4. I have family in London.

If we don't have PPV's, most fights can sell over 50000 tickets if it was in a stadium, PPV generates money, not 50000 tickets.

50 mil is still alot of people, I hate to say it but most latin Americans can't afford PPV fights.

Where did I say I want PPV's? I'm a big boxing fan and will pay for most PPV's, at least we can sell alot of PPV's unlike some other countries.

so when you went to the uk did you see people pray to calzaghe? exactly my point i you read. i dont give a **** if you've been to the uk. it was a statement connected to calzaghe lol.

and why would we want to buy ppv when we get it for free. we get to see some good fights for free so ho ho ho lol. you're paying to see the same fight lol. 50 million is alot but you're 4 times bigger and can only think of 100k. i doubr most fights can generate over 50k tbh. i agree ppv generates money, but for me i wouldnt want ppv as im a viewer.

I know what u mean, but let be honest, the big fights are in america,

I really dont understand this Kessler fight hype, he is nowhere near as dangerous as lacy was, he is just a solid fighter with two alphabet belts, thats it, i live in london, and im really not bothered too much about this fight.

For all the **** talk about ticket sales, lets be honest

If Calzaghe kessler was on PPV, would you buy it?

I wouldnt

I wud personally at the end of the day this fight just unifies the division once and for all and then Joe can move on to Light Heavy. If there is a decent undercard I may even go I've heard Maccarinelli may be fighting Steve Cunningham on the undercard which would be good. If it was in Manc I wud defo go.

[Hatton87]

Yea Americans are not bunch of blind butt munchers like the rest of the world, they will not go sing some corny songs together and pay to see one of their top fighters fighting a guy like Manfredo Jr.


Joe did not sell any stadiums out before the Lacy fight, he turned into a god after the Lacy fight, again that's all it take to become a god in UK.

Mayweather/Delahoya could've sold over 100,000 tickets if they wanted the fight in a stadium, American fights is all about the PPV's, not how many idiot comes to a stadium, that's not where the money is.

We sing corny songs the americans are the corniest peops in the world. USA, USA, USA, USA. You watch a basketball match and all you hear all game is DEFENCE then it's ****in OFFENCE then they repeat that all game, it would drive me mad. You get a bit of passion out of the English and get behind there fighter and don't start booing 2 rounds into a fight because some fighters are not brawlers.

so when you went to the uk did you see people pray to calzaghe? exactly my point i you read. i dont give a **** if you've been to the uk. it was a statement connected to calzaghe lol.

No the last time I went to UK was around Christmas time in 2005, that was before the Lacy fight so he was no god in 2005. And don't be ******, when I say god, I don't mean a real god.

and why would we want to buy ppv when we get it for free. we get to see some good fights for free so ho ho ho lol.

Cause you can't sell any PPV's.

you're paying to see the same fight lol.

Yes but we also get many great free fights on HBO and Showtime.

50 million is alot but you're 4 times bigger and can only think of 100k. i doubr most fights can generate over 50k tbh. i agree ppv generates money, but for me i wouldnt want ppv as im a viewer.

yea but the fights takes place in different states, so not all the people form the 50 states will come to see a fight. If we didn't have any PPV's then most fights can easily generate 50k+.
