    that's surprising.

    kinda hard to believe.
    The fight was live in England, 4am.

      I still think it did better numbers than this in england. Both the numbers for the us and england seem off.

          not only that but you can't buy the fight unless you have Sky TV subscription.

          The majority of British people (myself included) don't have Sky, I would've loved to have bought the fight but it would've meant signing a 12 month contract

            why did sky do that? seems silly.

            even hbo doesn't do that here. even if you don't have hbo you can still order hbo ppv.

                that's just the way it is same for all the good sports, you can't watch any of them without sky.

                how do you receive the HBO channel? afaik we can't receive sky without a skybox and only a minority have them.

                  It came out from the words of Konz and Gacal, not Roach or Arum.

                    ****** Media..... Cable provider.....

                    you can directly purchase Sky Box Office events with it...

                    They're easy enough to buy unless you have analog TV or something

                      When you're coming off a KO loss and half ass empty seats on FREE HBO while the other guy coming off a win against DLH, Barrera, Marquez and Morales you deserve 50-50 ? The reason why the split was 50-50 because they though it would do a million in the UK. If you think Hatton is a draw in the US, then just look up your reputation. No wonder you're red
