I have been meaning to mention this. Sky has an odd business model for PPV. I am not a Sky subscriber but there have been times when I wanted to buy the PPV fight. Unless it has changed in the last couple of months you cannot do this. I am a BT customer but they do not offer Sky PPV. I tried NOW TV but they don't either. Very strange that Sky complains about piracy but doesn't allow occasional customers access to PPV unless they are a Sky client.

One more point

L!VE TV knew how to get men watching women's sport.

Normally I'd complain that they don't even do the the same amount of work, like with grand slam tennis, but in boxing's case if it gets them out of the ring quicker, all the better.

Optimistic as ever

Now it becomes clear as to why Joshua didn't batter Parker. They had another nice little money spinner planned for him with Whyte, which of course will lead to another fight with Joshua for either man, probably Whyte.

You gotta love boxing.

There are very few decent heavyweights that can pull a crowd. Hearn and co are running a little circus and making money is their main objective. Sport comes second.

Isn't that capitalism? I mean, no one is made to pay.

If the shows don't make money then they lose out, not the boxers who receive an agreed purse.

Before Hearn....and though it pains me to say it..Sky....Boxing was nowhere in this country.....Now the Americans come to us for paydays.
