Mayweather V Pacquiao on Sky Sports Box Office

[walrus]

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.

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.

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

I'd let you facetime me at fight time and I'll put my phone in front of tv

But you probably still have a Nokia 5110
