RTL (German TV) paid a reported £4 million for AJ-Wlad, it's not the BBC who have this fantastic con that requires by law you give them money without any say in what it gets spent on.
Instead of constantly attacking the greedy fighters for making "more than they deserve" and "mug" fans that pay them remember you pay for a station that doesn't even show boxing.

I get that but the fighters benefit most, so you might as well say they're not worth the money they get paid.
AJ-Wlad - £30 million was amassed from UK PPV.
You expect them to leave all those millions behind for the sake of who? You. Because you're unwilling to pay for your entertainment.
Now for people that can't afford it then it's entirely different, fuck, i'm even ditching this Sky lark now. However, it still doesn't change the fact it's the fighters that benefit.

Fighters benefit but they are used as an excuse by promoters and TV companies for doing this when it is they that are pushing it to maximise their profits. Sky have grossly over paid on the football so have to recoup their money back and one way is the excessive use of ppv.
If these people stopped pushing ppv the fighters would have little option but to take the next best deal. It is in the interest of Sky and Eddie to manufacture these fight to be ppv when they are clearly not.

The fights clearly are PPV worthy that's why it's a roaring success getting stronger and stronger with more and more scheduled. Don't forget ITV and BoxNation/BT. BoxNation will be charging PPV on a subscription channel specific for boxing.
Eubank Jr's last fight apparently bombed. Yet here we are again, this time at 16.95 - the same as AJ-Wlad, Floyd-Pac - not the reduced price.
Again, you think the fighters aren't worth your money. Fine. It's a choice.
P.s - you do a great job promoting PPV for them, you're forever printing their press releases, promo pics and sales pitch.![]()

Fighters are used as an excuse?
Just out of curiousity, who exactly do you think earns the most money out of a ppv event?
A. The fighters
B. The promoter
C. The TV Company
D. The Taxman
Better still, it would be great if you put them in order.
That way, you work out who you should be castigating.

Bruno was no pioneer he was pissed off that sky had made their fight ppv as he wanted a percentage of it. I am not blaming the fighters but it is not them demanding the fights be ppv.
