    Yeah but on the same day as AJ-Martin PPV?

    Bare in mind Pacquaio's never had a PPV fight over here before.

    If the first two weren't PPV whys anyone going to pay for the third one? On the same day as AJ no less.

      I'm watching it but I'm certainly not paying for it. I don't know who at TR thought it would be a good idea to have a PPV in this country when the Golden Boy is fighting the same night.

        I understand, but that's still dirt cheap. How much is the AJ vs Martin PPV? The only reason I see them charging is probably because it's Pac's last fight

          Sky should have picked it up and bundled it in with the Joshua-Martin PPV.

            Yep.

            Also, people pay a Sky subscription to watch their boxing (£40+ per month), BoxNation subscription to watch theirs (£12 per month), as well as individual PPV's from Sky on top of that (£14.99-19.99 per PPV).

            It's not massive amounts, but to be expected to pay for another channel to watch a fight that nobody seems to have much interest in is a bit of a stretch.

              Nah it's not because of that because it wouldn't be on Premier Sports. No one even knows it exists.

              I assume it's on PPV because after Sky and Boxnation turned it down Premier sports took and the only chance they've got of making money off it is to put it on PPV.

              But no ones going to buy it.

                Exactly, it adds up. Some people have BT Sport to pay for aswell. I don't personally.

                Massive stretch. I was going to watch it but I'm definitely not going to buy it considering I'm going to buy AJ-Martin.

                  That seems like a really ****** idea. I guess they're banking on this actually being Pac's last fight.

                    Sky's line of thinking is probably why pay for the rights for that fight and bundle in with the PPV when AJ-Martin is going to do massive numbers on its own.

                      Isn't premier sports exclusively PPV?
