Poll: Does Pacquiao Deserve a 60% Share Against Hatton?

[KananKrus]

<<Exactly, I'm guessing these millions of Filipinos back home aren't bringing any PPV money to the table. They watch it for free no?>><Conrad>

Yes, and No.

Yes, there is a free telecast on national TV. That telecast is dragged on for almost a whole day affair. It is riddled of commercials/advertisements with impunity. Pretty much, the main fight is over and done with before it hits the small screen. This serves the bulk of his fans.

There too, is a pay for live transmission fed on movie theatres, for about $10. And then lastly, the regular PPV, carried by Solar sports (?) is about $20. Of course there are bars, and restaurants that would likewise get on with the thing for a small cover price.
