Mayweather V Pacquiao on Sky Sports Box Office

[Master]

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.
I honestly thought that after that last stunt , they were gonna charge 30 or 40 quid, so I'm a bit relieved.

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.

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

[Fenster]

£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.

I heard it was £12 Million to secure the rights and all 3 matched that - BT Sports, Boxnation and Sky but Floyd picked Sky because he gets a cut of the revenue and Sky have the biggest Audience/Platform.

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!!!!

[Fenster]

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.

[Master]

I wonder if Radio 5 live do have it. That is how I listened to the Groves v Froch and Haye v Wlad.
