    I do not encourage it. I hate the business model which has killed boxing from mainstream tv by your mates Sky and Eddie.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    “ hold out for forty million”! Is that not encouraging ppv, cos he won’t get that on BBC!!! Eddie never invented ppv, I think you’ll find the concept came from the U.S. and then the Brits raped it.
    Are you gonna Close every KFC & McDonalds down as well?

    No one in the U.K. has the money that Floyd Mayweather has. You have give people something to see. Plus Sky sports do a outstanding job at promoting fights.
