Basically said if a PPV did 5,000 depending on the fight they could cover their costs but for Sky this would be an absolute disaster. Makes sense I suppose.

I get the concept think it's doomed to fail though due to exposure. Sky have all the sky channels to promote fights and a 24 hour sports news channel.

How much money do you make to come on here and feed us with your info? Is it a specific job? Seems a decent one and i want it haha

Small part of a much wider job and not very much!

Just out of interest how well did the first Bhop and Pascal fight sell on primetime? £15 a go for that was very steep.

The 2nd one? I thought that was on Sky at 1000am in the morning?

The 2nd one was that's why I asked about the 1st one which was on primetime.

Oh yeh sorry matey didnt see that my bad!

Sky is a rip off anyway i think. Its good to see these companies coming in to try expose more boxing to the public at a cheaper price all be it by a few quid. Like you said, 5,000 PPV buys will cover costs and the rest is profit.

I bought the first one but never imagined it would have done that well. I also bought Klitchko vs Sosnowski and a show from Peurto Rico which had Martinez before Burns beat him and Vasquez Jnr on it. Those 2 were s£6 each but were on the same night so you got bot for a tenner was well worth it.

Very well and if I remember correctly that one was £9.95

Any rough figure would be nice. I bought it thought it was £15 but you work for primetime so I will take your word for it.

Sorry not allowed to divulge figures, that is at the promoters discretion

Primetime is £15 for the Khan fight the same Sky would be.

Very professional. So it was up to team Khan when they released the McCloskey figures then? Trying to prove a point to Sky. I like how that worked out for him.

There's would be in HD though, and probably 3d, although since I haven't got a 3d tele I don't give a monkey's about that. I have got HD though so I do care about that.

Boxing in 3D is amazing mate. I've got one but theirs only been Haye's last 2 fights and a prizefighter. It costs a fortune to broadcast in 3D.

True, but like you said, you got a cracking nights boxing for £10 which you wouldnt have got to see on Sky. Really like the way you can watch fights like that abroad, top fights with decent fighters. Should do it more often, and who knows after the profit they make, who is to say they wont do a FREE SHOW every now and again. Like on Sky, we watch Pacman fights for free (well you pay extra for sports) but yet to watch Khan vs Prescott you pay £15??

It makes no sense at least we don't live in the states they pay a lot more for PPV and a lot more is deemed PPV worthy over their.

It's just a bit galling generally the whole PPV thing. From this Thursday you can watch the two best test teams in the world do battle at cricket for five days for the price of Sky Sports, a few month ago you could watch Man Utd v Barcelona for the same price but want to watch David Haye vs the sixth ranked heavyweight in Britain and it costs you £15, as the Americans would say go figure.

Very true. Im sure the Pascal vs Hopkins fight on HBO Canada was $70! Wow!

Great point , never thought of that, and i brought it. Bet you did too?

I did buy it end of the day I am a boxing fan and if I'm in the house bearing in mind I spend half my time on here discussing the sport it helps if I actually see some fights occasionally. However that does not change the fact that for some reason boxing stands apart from other sports in being the only one where those that watch it are forced to pay a premium on top of our TV license and Sky subscription. That insult is compounded when we are served guff like Audley Harrison going through the latest in a long, long line of flase dawns and abject disappointments.

Yes but it's unlikely to happen until next year

Cheers mate.

Any chance of Primetime showing any more of the shows like the one you showed in Puerto Rico last year?

That was an excellent show and these types of things usually to turn out to be better value for money than the big shows.

Just watched Mosley-Margarito. Thank you primetime I forgot how enjoyable it was.

Another night of free programmes on Primetime tonight. You get another chance to see Khan-The Road To Vegas and also tonight sees the addition of Khan- Making Of A King, Watch highlights of Amir Khan’s professional career as he prepares for his title defence against Zab Judah this Saturday, exclusively live on Primetime.

Should be cracking watch
