PPV in the 1960' and 1970's

[Britkid]

The son of Alan Rudkin has said that there was an 'experiment' in the mid 60s where some of his father's bouts were shown on cable on a PPV basis, in parts of the North of England.

Must have failed because if it worked they would have made Henry Cooper a superstar and multi millionaire.

60s TV in the UK was weird. I always thought then Division One matches did not start being shown on TV live until the 80s; but they actually started showing them in 1961, but it did not take off and was stopped...
