According to Oscar's Twitter feed this is going to be the benchmark for all GBP PPV's going forward.
Starting with their show in manchester this weekend? One swallow doesn't make a summer!
They only there in name. I am surprised they did not provide some of the undercard though. Last Saturday was a great show.
Its not a US PPV in Manchester - not even shown live in the USA - so it would have been tricky for GBP to lease out their fighters. To "save" the bill (if you do believe Sky's line about the undercard) GBP would have needed to have leased out their bigger names - would really the likes of Broner and Escobedo make an ounce of difference fighting to the Exectuvies at Sky.... to get the likes of Mosley, Hopkins etc to come over would have cost far to much for a non US PPV.
