Sky have dumped Boxing PPV until 2013!!!

[*OG Wenger*]

You have no idea what you are talking about

Why you so mad bro?

I would be interested to know the numbers for those PPV's. I bet none of them broke the 100 thousand mark.

Impossible to say...but I would bet at least some of them did.

I would expect may-pac to get close to a million buys on sky box office. Both guys have huge followings here, they have both beaten Ricky Hatton in front of HUGE british audiences, (Hatton-May did 1.2 million buys).

This fight really knows no bounds in terms of revenue, it is so big now I don't think anyone really knows what sort of numbers it will do. It will be by a big margin the biggest fight in boxing history.

I will bet anyone on here any kind of money that floyd-pac would be on sky box office.

If it was to be showed at a reasonable time i might agree with you. I'm telling you right now no way will the casuals pay 15 quid and stay up until 4-5am to watch 2 non-British boxers fight.

Without the casual fans the PPV numbers wont be ****.

Yes they will...all they will do is show an interesting domestic card, maybe a world title fight on this side of the Atlantic. It will be showed normal Vegas time, your making claims about things when you don't even know the facts, you weren't even sure they had done 4-5am ppv's before when there have probably been over a hundred going back to Naseem Hamed and even before that. Everyone and their mother knows about pac-may at this stage and those who don't, will during the promotion and the week of the fight. They would target the UK market in the press tour...no doubt about it. May-marquez came here. You are seriously underestimating the pulling power of the fight. I will not argue my point anymore because I know I am right, you will find out when the fight happens.

[Jedi Vader]

Absolutely out of the question.

No fight on Sky showing non-British fighter(s) would be on PPV, never happened before, nor will in the future.

I agree. What casual fans in this country will pay 15 quid and stay up to the early hours of the morning to watch an American and a Philippine fight? Not many is my guess...

Get your facts right before you make ****** comments you can't even back up.

With a strong domestic card to support it maybe it could do well. But i very much doubt it would break the 1.2 million mark.

I guess we finally have something to thank David Haye for

[VERILY]

LMAO @ the amount of heat these guys have been catching since last Fall because of Haye.

[Mojo Jojo]

Thank you, David Haye.

Those two snooze fests really paid off.

Carl Froch is the only one prabobly deserving of PPV, he's been in some exciting fights.
