    Dominic Guinn was once a hot prospect, means nothing

      Umm the economy is not that small. So your maths is out of 4.5 million people in a first world country, only 300k have sky?

        No idea about the numbers, but NZ is tiny, and has very little interest in boxing.

        FUN FACTS:

        The Mayweather/Pacquiao fight (2 elite boxers) cost $40.

        A Joseph Parker fight (1 solid, local, up-and-coming, boxer) cost $40.

        A Sonny-Bill Williams fight (NOT a boxer) cost $40.

        Apparently, if it floats, it will be sold to us for..... you guessed it, $40.

          Not really. These days only Parker is ppv. We got Fury/Klitschko for free, Groves/Froch 1 & 2 for free, All of uk sky ppv's for free, and even Canelo and GGG fights are free.

          Yeah the whole $40 for Parker is a joke, but the bigger joke is the clowns that keep buying it

                  Not many bought his. He once actually fought a 40 year old sickness beneficiary and it went to points lol

                  I really hate the way DUCO makes a mockery of boxing with their "celebrity" bouts. Its amatuer as f

                    For what it's worth I don't think Duco were involved with the SBW fiasco's.
