    Will I pay for him and Conor? Nope
    Most of Floyd's recent fights have been on sky and box office platform not box nation.
    Floyd has been on Sky twice in 10 years - Mosley ("free") and Pac (PPV).
    What about the Hatton fight?
    I believe that was PPV, so that means 2 PPV fights in the UK in 10 years and 9 that have not been PPV

    When you consider that Hatton was the biggest star in the UK at the time and Mayweather v Pacman was the biggest fight in recent years its Not too bad if you ask me @Master
    I am sure Saul Alvarez was on sky.
    Nah I'm 99% certain it was Boxnation, I think that was before Matchroom had stole the monopoly.

    *edit*

    Just checked and it was Boxnation
    Master is so anti-Sky/Hearn/Floyd that his tiny little brain turned them into a conglomerate.

    Floyd was hardly ever shown pre-Oscar. The only time he got on Sky before that was Oscar undercards (Sky were the only place showing international fights back then). Corrales and Gatti were live. That's about it until maybe Baldomir/Oscar.

    Floyd's never been on UK terrestrial TV once in his entire career. Thank fuck for the internet/BoxNation/Sky, it is fantastic these days compared to the dark old days that twerps like Master (and loads of other folk his/my age) pine for.

    whole heartedly agree, whilst the amount of PPV's gets too much £12 will see you get Cotto v Kamegai, BJS v Monroe Jr and GGG v Alvarez

    I'd much rather that than wait for Channel 5 to sneak a fight on every couple of months

    ITV and BBC showed boxing and some of it live and in colour.

    Floyd fight is £19.95.

    the PPV will probly sell in England / Britain because of the Irish? least that must be mainly who it is aimed at

    and you could argue that this is the casual irish fan that would buy it?

    if some English nutcase was in Connors shoes would the English on here pay? what if he was from your home town?

    Another Floyd hater started a thread because he loses sleep over Floyd. Another win for Floyd. Give it a rest 😂 The question you asked as your thread topic you answered yourself. All you do is speak of Floyd, even in posts that aren't about him you have something negative to bring in. Floyd must have snatched your soul, damn you're obsessed. What was the question again? Maybe it should have been "Will I ever stop obsessing over Floyd?" You're a 🤡

    I am obsessed with James Toney, I am obsessed with Joe Calzaghe, I am not obsessed with Floyd Mayweather. I started a thread asking what it was all about as frankly the mans career for the past decade has been all about doing what he wants when he wants it and not giving a damn about any of you. Then he comes along and decides to fight a novice and apparently wanted Brits to pay 100 pounds for a PPV and is charging Americans 100 dollars for a PPV. I don't understand the appeal, I don't understand why the media has lapped it up so casually, and I don't know why 'fans' like you seem to be so into it and cannot abide someone speaking a little truth. It is not hating or obsessing to say it is all a bit rubbish and that he is and has been taking the piss out of everybody. You probably want to kiss Floyd Mayweather. That is obsession.

    On the subject of James Toney, at least he had the brass balls to step outside of his safety zone with the crossover thing. That was a man that could lose, but he would fight anyone, anywhere. A man who went up to heavyweight and fought the biggest punchers, who in his 40's went down to cruiserweight to fight for a title. In his 40's! Older than Floyd who is doing this now. In his 40's taking on another guy in a field he had no knowledge of no strings attached. That right there is a legend. That is something to be obsessed with even though it sometimes went wrong. Floyd? Nope, I just don't get it.
