Not a chance im paying for this, apparently i also read that Khan v Kotelnik only sold 30k PPV'S hahahahaha, I hope that is true.

Sky can fuck themselves if they thing Haye v Valuev warrents a £15 payment a fraudulent Champ fighting an untested Heavyweight not a fucking chance.

Haye hasnt even got a fanbase he sold only what 7-10 thousand tickets for the Barrett fight and that was with a buy one get one free offer.

Id be suprised if this broke 50k buys.
Agreed, Khan can at least say he sells out an arena. If they lowered the price a bit (and not 32p as they have) they would do much better. Half the price & they would probably do 3x the amount of sales. Also with streams so much easier to get now, they're far less likely to do the sales.

I admit that I bought the Khan fight because I prefer watching it on TV & there's no other fights comin' up, but with the Haye-Valuev one being in November, I can't see myself doing that with Cotto-Pacquiao a week later.

Apparently Hatton-Pacquiao only did about 400,000, less than a quarter of the Mayweather fight. Sky need to realize with a recession on the only way they'll be doing any business is either putting it on free & relying on more subscribers or doing a much cheaper PPV.

Hopefully the new ESPN channel picks up some boxing for us, because its not a good future with Sky
