This should be on normal sky sports channel. Cunts. :(
You make a very fair point, but when they've got the nerve to charge £15 for Bellew v Cleverley , it was never in doubt that they were gonna charge.Quote:

This was their grand plan. After charging for fiasco fight like Haye v Audley, bellow v cleverly we get suckered into thinking they will charge more for a decent fight. When in reality subscribers already pay hundreds of pounds for the sports channel to show boxing. Guess what this is just a boxing match who are not even British.Quote:

Quite a decent price. I have yet to hear a definitive price but I'm thinking 89.95 here in the US. Do you guys feel your getting an unreasonable price
£20 is the highest PPV we've ever had, so considering you lot are paying around £65 I guess we've had a result.
Although i'd rather pay £65 to watch it live primetime rather than our 4-5am start. (actually, I wouldn't, even a cunt like me isn't paying that to watch it)
Master will listen to it on radio 5.
TV rights were £3m, they're predicting that they'll beat the PPV record, so roughly 1.5m buys. So SKY will make about £30m quid?
Obscene.
I might listen to the radio too, or just download it the next morning.
can everyone stop moaning
kin el
ill buy it last minute if im awake

Also Sky are charging Pubs/Clubs (anywhere commercial basically) £220 for the PPV and theres loads of pubs near me that are having lock-ins and showing it at £5-£10 a ticket.
My mate owns a Pub and said that's what Sky are charging him.
10,000 plus Pubs/Bars/Clubs in the UK possibly gonna show it? Maybe loads more than that?
Thats another £2.4 Million there if just 10,000 across the UK are gonna show it which i think is realistic.
It's insane the money this fight is generating - Tickets for the MGM alone will eclipse the Superbowl too.
15,000 MGM - 71,100 Superbowl = Kerching!!!! ;)
The same sources claiming it was 10-12m (The Mail, The Telegraph) are now saying 3m plus a cut of the PPV.
It's always been more expensive for pubs/clubs to buy these events. Although back in the day - not sure you can do it now - you could just order it on a home card which would work in any sky box.
I wonder if Radio 5 live do have it. That is how I listened to the Groves v Froch and Haye v Wlad. :)

Fairweather fans like you spoil it for the rest of us. You have no appreciation of boxing and only want to see the big fights which is why Sky charge muppet like you through the roof for a fight that should be on normal subscription.
