    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!!!!

    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

    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.
