    UK PPV revenue is not needed to make Canelo-GGG 3, it probably does 50k buys if that.

        Americans seem not to understand that when we pay PPV for an American card, we are not watching it at 10/11pm, but at 4/5am, and only the hardcore base are going to be awake, the likes of Nash. I think Joshua vs Usyk 2 is around $37, but we are not used to paying higher prices here so people won't take it. Forget the cliches about England, it's highly likely nothing like you imagine, and approx 0.1% of England speak the Queens English. And less than 5% speak anything like English people speak on American TV shows and movies. Coffee is almost as popular as tea, and I can't even remember the last time I saw somebody eat a crumpet or a scone. Nash out.

            I remember I visited the UK for a month in summer back in the 00s and they got all the WWE ppvs free on cable sports, no PPV involved.

            I think they are used to getting **** for free, I've never seen a nation complaining so much about boxing ppvs, which are very cheap over there.

            The Australians call them "whining poms", so moaning and complaining about 3 dollars extra for a ppv that's still very cheap seems par for the course.

                  Tiny Country compared to the U.S., you add the UK to the American Map I think it would be something like the 12 Biggest STATE within the United States

                  uk_usa_central_extract.png

                  so naturally it is going to be far more expensive here so this comparison that some fans try to make is laughable actually because it is far more expensive to distribute to far more people

                  not about being poor though, I think anytime prices goes up for anything fans are going to have questions as WE should

                    To be honest in terms of "most things" the UK isn't much if any more expensive than the US, I think only gas is the main thing, otherwise its similar.

                    You get ppvs at less than half the price though.

                      I wish they'd charge the same as British PPV's in America.
