Had there been no illegal cable back in the 90's and early 2000's....

Probably. But you have to remember how many people now stream fights instead of ordering them.

I watch all boxing and UFC PPV's for free online and before I started doing that I used a hot box to watch all the boxing PPV's.

My homey used to be a cable install guy. He got the free hookup, so he always hosts our fight parties.

It's great to have those type of friends

Imagine how many more buys Tyson's ppv's would've drawn in? Or how about the Tito/Oscar fight? I personally think that Tyson/Holyfield would still hold the ppv record if it not had been for illegal cable.

I can remember when fight time came back in those days, people would be praying that the cable company didnt send out a bullit and knock out the video feed for those who were watching the fight on illegal "fixed" boxes.

Those were the good old days!

i've always questioned whether illegal cable blackboxes and now days streams realy do cut into ppv profits.
my opinion is it effects very little. the types that went the illegal route don't have the moola to pay.
they are actualy propigating good promo for boxing
