Well as long as ODLH didn't get a cut of that and it didn't effect the amount of money left to pay out the PPV feature fighters you're absolutely right. It is a variable percentage because it is a fixed cost, but it is still a percentage none the less. Hence greater than zero.

I am not to sure if you are being sarcastic there Greg, if not I apologise.
But are you trying to be smart there? Of course they got some financial gain from sky showing the fight live, there not going to give it to Sky for free, so if you are trying to correct me for sayin they got nothing then quite a silly question in the first place to think one of the bggest fights of the year would of been without any finances going Golden Boys way.
But Sky have a budget for American cards and it has nothing to do with the PPV, it just made the Khan bill more attractive with it falling on the same night, the two fights could of been on two different nights and the same money would have been paid by Sky to both Khan which would of been PPV and Golden Boy which would of not been on PPV.
Hmm... lets see - I'm pretty sure i've witnessed American fans showing rowdy support for their countrymen. Mexicans for their guys. Puerto Rico, Ireland, Denmark, Australia, etc etc. MANY fans from all over the world passionately support their countrymen.
The Brits are no different.

I'm not Ukrainian or German, and I have been a Klitschko fan since the first time I ever got to see them fight (I think the first fight I watched Wlad in was the Shufford fight) don't get me wrong I'd love to see quality American heavyweights, but I don't just root for someone because of their nationality. In my opinion more than a few Brits have some sort of Napoleon complex (ironically enough), the great empire is dusted and done, they are no more. Sure you've got SOME world class boxers, but not EVERYONE who comes out of England is the greatest thing this side of Ali. Americans don't think every decent American fighter is world class, not even the ones that win the belts...we like to see our fighters tested and they have to fight in a manner that is crowd pleasing as well. You no doubt saw how many Americans supported John Ruiz during his reign as title holder....not that many and for a number of reasons #1 He wasn't the best fighter, #2 He never tried to become the best fighter #3 He had an ugly style #4 He only got the WBA title because he was a Don King fighter and everyone knows it.
I'm just tired of the Naseem Hamed style personalities coming out of England, why can't you guys produce more Frank Bruno's?
