I pay £22.50 alone for sky, £10 for box n a t I o n and now I'm going to have to shell out another £14.95 to watch pacman v Bradley on Saturday ! I'm supprised sky or bn didn't get it, do they believe Bradley is boring or pacman is past it ?

Must make more money through a ppv on primetime than a one off payment from allegedly.

It does get to be expensive to watch the bouts; my SKY costs a fortune + allegedly and the PPV things; I like the bouts but FFS.

Why is Pac v Bradley on Primetime?

Im sure they cant make much money off primetime, couldnt they sell the fight cheap to sky or bocksnation.

Errrm yes they can.
They've got it because they paid the best price.

I was under the impression primetime was ppv so pay a percentage rather than a set price.

They only just missed out on Mayweather fight. They pick up more next season.

Not why sure Primetime have lumped in on this one. No British link, Pacquiao vs TIMOTHY BRADLEY!!. yes!....tumbleweed. you know the one who was in the (head) bore of the year 2011 it was on Sky.
I love Manny but who's going to buy it. Harcore boxing fans? some maybe ,casuals? I seriously doubt it.

As for Primetime getting more PPV next season , who's PPV status out there. Apart from Mayweather vs? who else is there that people will pay extra to see and there' a strong chance Manny will knock it on the head if he doesn't get Mayweather after Bradley

If Sky didn't want it (or couldn't have it contractually) Primetime would be the obvious option, surely.

Primetime reach a bigger audience than allegedly they actually advertise
