Comments Thread For: Hearn Fires Back at Arum Over Comments on Sky Sports, PPV

Paying 20gbp is one thing, 75 or a 100usd another. Can't really compare ppv prices. And if you aren't a hardcore boxing fan, you're not paying ppv for loma vs lopez, but watching the knockdowns/knockout of povetkin v whyte along with whytes **** talk and popularity in uk might persuade quite a few casual fans to buy it for only 20

Sky has been a fan of boxing & I've always viewed them as the UK HBO so I kinda feel like if they didn't pick up Loma vs Teo or Bud vs Brook as a PPV it didn't make business sense for them more than they are being unreasonable with Bob. In fact I think Bob is usually the unreasonable party in any dispute he's involved in.

Is fight TV any good? I'm in the UK and have a PS4 to use the app on. Anyone else do this? Stream quality/reliability?

Again says more about the UK fan and networks. No market for Loma-Teofemo, but have no problem with Povetkin-Whyte.

Povetkin v Whyte is a UK fight at 11pm,
Loma v Lopez is a 4am fight in UK (non British fighters).

Even British fighters have less viewship at 4am when they fight in America.

In America boxing fans rarely would wake up at that time to watch a fight that doesn't involve an American boxer.

THIS!........I've said it long ago that the UK boxing fan doesn't know $hat about boxing....that's why they are entertained by guys like Nathan Gorman and Ted Cheeseman..😆😂 Listening to a UK fan talk boxing is like listening to pee wee herman talk weightlifting

“There is nobody more committed to boxing than Sky”.

STFU Hearn, and get your tongue out of Barney Francis’s ass.

F***ing terrible comparison.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

but you guys pay for guys like whyte and chisora? 😆

That Youtuber sh** was PPV over here bro.

The casuals here in the UK are genuine r**ards. They’ll pay for whatever Hearn tells them to.

[Rick Taylor]

You can pay £10-£25 to watch a fight and not think much about it, but if asked to pay £75, they would tell the network to f-off (I don't know why Americans just bend over and take it).

but you brits have to pay for EVERY one of these trash skysports cards doe. that adds up

Whyte and Chisora are both British and both entertaining to watch. Obviously Brits are more interested in these guys than others would be,

so brits will pay to watch literal bum fights? 😂

For the Lomo v Lopez fight i'd stay up all week to watch it.Any networks who say the are committed to boxing are telling lies if they don't have an interest in this .Never mind the ****** talk of two foreign fighters and the fight being at 4am absolute bollocks .I remember my tabs being pressed up to the radio at 4am for the Ali v Norton fight.I couldn't wait to watch the fights at 4am .It sounds like a new weak breed of fans here. Get a life ...or better still an alarm clock ffs.
