UK PPV and RTL(Germany) PPV... it would easily break 1mil mark and I think Joshua against Whyte sold around 700k+ ppv so this fight might do twice as much in the U.K. Itself..
Announcement

No announcement yet.
Will Joshua vs Klitschko do the most PPV buys this year?

Virgin are similar prices, and bear in mind these do not include prices for you having broadband, this is just TV.
Boxnation will also set you back an extra £12 a month if you arent with a provider that gives you the channel for free.
Cheapest option: Sky Original Bundle (£22.50) + Sky Sports 1 (£14) = £36.50/month
Cheapest HD option: Sky Family Bundle (£38) + Sky Sports 1 (£14) + HD Pack (£6) = £58/month
Cheapest bundle with all Sky Sports channels: Sky Original Bundle (£22.50) + Sky Sports Pack (£27.50) = £50/month
Cheapest HD bundle with all Sky Sports channels: Sky Family Bundle (£38) + Sky Sports Pack (£27.50) + HD Pack (£6) = £71.50/month
Pretty expensive isnt it, which makes it easier to understand why we dont pay as much for our PPV's.

We get screwed on the subscription, US gets screwed on PPV, its really a myth that we pay less. Sky puts a hell of a lot into publicising boxing, you can see them deserving a cut of the PPV, 50% for HBO is mental, doesnt seem like they do a lot at all for boxing
Ohhhhh man. That is a bunch load of money. I mean what the heck is going on with those prices.
That's just crazy.
What if you don't have SKY at all and you want to buy the PPV?
Is that even possible?

I had Jedi Vader having a go at me the other day because i had HD Stream links, like i always do and was posting them to people in PM's who asked.
He accused me of harming boxing because i was streaming, soon shut up when i told him i was watching on Boxnation and that i already pay over £1500 a year just in my subscriptions so **** paying another £100 a year to watch PPV's.

Sky box office is its own PPV Channel, so you can pay £22.50 for a basic sky tv packagwe with no sports and just order ppv's from box office when they are on.

I'd also say that a higher proportion of UK fans watch en masse in pubs than the US fans who tend to watch at home in small groups or alone. There'll be thousands of pubs and bars that buy that card PPV around the country and those pubs can have anywhere between 50 and 200 people in them.
Boxing is just having a diamond run right now in the UK and it's great to be in a bar full of people going crazy for the home fighter whilst we're doing so well on the world scene.
Our PPV's cost less, and i think we get an awful lot more for our money in terms of those specific PPV's but an awful lot of people in the UK are payng anywhere between 40 -120 pounds a month for their TV, sport and broadband packages before we even think about PPV events, so if Sky even tried to charge over 20 quid for one they'd get lynched by the public.
You make a great point. Here in the USA the outrageous prices of PPV was a huge reason why boxing went into decline. Not only did it already have the stigma of the least attractive sport to compete in due to injury for young guys, but now its ridiculously expensive to watch as well.

In the UK we have the benefit of the companies not being segregated or restricted to where they can be like they are in the US, and we have laws that every member of the public has to have access to a certain strength broadband for a certain price, so providers bundle it all into one big fibre package.
My package is something like the below, its been that long i dont really check it on my bills anymore.
1000 channels including all sky sports, BT Sports ( for the UFC ) and boxnation.
200mb fibre broadband with 20mb upload.
unlimited home phone calls 24/7
£138.44 was my bill last month
I wouldnt mind, but i have all those channels and i watch about.... 9 ? LOLLast edited by yammy25; 03-25-2017, 09:22 AM.

Ah okay, and the price is the same, like 17 £? Even if you order on the date of the fight?
