Not really sure how they can come up with that number sounds like just a guess to me

Bunce is a melodramatic twerp. The streamers wouldn't buy the PPVs if the streams didn't exist. They'd watch something else instead. The more people watching boxing the better.

Get fvcked Bunce you fat bald twat. Sky are fvcking rip off shafting the regular punters. You'd need to be pretty well off to be a boxing fan these days given the yearly cost of both subs to Sky, BT, allegedly then you have BoxOffice payments to Sky, BT & ITV.
And to top it off we HAVE to illegally stream Golovkin tonight because none of the spivs that run the TV channels thinks it makes them money, so it's not being aired.
I don't think the boxers families would actually give two sh!ts about who streamed the fight. I'd assume they would be grieving for a loved one.
This opinionated,self righteous pudendum really needs to think before he opens that loud mouth of his.

Well said Ricky
If prices were kept at a sensible level and you could pay for what you want ie. a channel dedicated to boxing at a sensible price with no ppv's less people would stream . Skys standard boxing schedule this year has been awful , why would people pay 60 quid a month or whatever it is to watch sports they don't even like ? Any reasonable fight now is ppv and that's the way broadcasters have chosen to go , no sympathy for them .
Fair play to the likes of Mtk for showing some content for free , hopefully won't end if it gets a bigger player .

Moron.
Well said - and I'm a Bunce fan. Sorry but both main event fighters were being paid an astronomical amount of money compared to the average guy in the street. Joshua has got umpteen millions, possibly tens of millions. Good luck to him, but we live in a very unfair world and I don't begrudge folk using modern technology to watch the sport they love without being fleeced yet again. With that show last week, we have a multi-millionnaire staging a world title fight between a multi-millionnaire champ, and a challenger being paid several million quid. There is real poverty in this world, but it wasn't at MSG last weekend.

20 quid to have a fight on the telly is ridiculous anyway. Pure profiteering.
I like Bunce, but he is over the top at times.
Before the Joshua - Ruiz fight both Bunce and Mike, the 5 live commentator, said Joshua was going to win easy. Then afterwards they were saying " we had a feeling this could happen" -
They let themselves down there big time.
Pair of jokers

When did Bunce last buy a ticket to a fight?
probably around the same time he could see his own feet past the huge gut .

I think I mentioned before that Bunce was working for 5live for the Klitschko/Fury fight, he had Klitschko winning on his card, but wrote a column two days later essentially claiming it was a masterclass by Fury.
