They have Champions League, UEFA League, Premier League and that's just in football? Then there's Warren's cards, UFC, Rugby Union, Moto GP? No extra charge for HD, some of the best and most innovative sports coverage around?
All of those are from 2012-2013. Just like in the UK, in America boxing has grown in popularity. Why do you think there are billions of dollars being thrown at boxing right now?
Something you folks from the UK will never understand is the competition for entertainment dollars. As an example. On the same night as Broner's fight in Cincinnati, Dave Chappelle had a show in the city. And Cincinnati is a medium size American city so imagine the entertainment going on in major cities on fight night.
The reason Crawford/Easter Jr pack thousands in their hometowns is because there isn't much competition for entertainment dollars in those area.
And every fight in the UK doesn't sell out either. The fights between the youtubers sold better than the average UK card.
Hell, the night of Wilder/Ortiz, Kovalev fought Igor Mikhalkin in the same city for the LHW title. If you wanted other sports that night, The Rangers, and the Knicks were playing at home. and also that same night was UFC 222.
It's a PPV channel, so it only gets used now and again. First was Canelo/GGG, next will be Wilder/Fury then it will be Warrington/Frampton..... 3 times this year.

Premier league?
Oh do they get the west brom vs leicester at 5.45 on a sunday type games?
wilder is backed by al haymon, showtime, stephen espinoza and shelly finkel....ever heard of them? they have been involved in some of the highest earning fights the sport has ever seen?
what planet do you live on that u did not know that?
How come BT sport and Warren are the ones trying to help out with the fund despite all the afore mentioned name?

Lol
Their next match is Tottenham vs Chelsea on Saturday evening. Not sure if you follow football at all but that's a pretty big game. Premier League make sure that there's a spread of games in all the packages they sell, so Sky will have their share of this years West Brom vs Leicester (won't be the baggies they dropped last season).
Anyway, sorry for taking this off topic. I don't work for BT Sport, but I do admire how quickly they've built themselves into a genuine player in UK broadcast sport so I thought I'd provide a counter argument.
