The decision from SKY not to do PPV also led to a bust up with Golden Boy promotions. Golden Boy are now "best buddies" with Primetime Live. I'm very disappointed that Pacman Vs. Marquez III is PPV next week for £15.00. The fight isn't due to start until 5:00am. How on earth can Primetime justify charging £15.00 for a show that starts at 2:00am and ends at about 6:30am?
As more and more people subscribe to Boxnation, they will be able to outbid Primetime and SKY for TV rights.

The less people who pay for the fight thre better too. Primetime can onle charge for fights if people are willing to pay for them! £15 for this fight is a rip-off to be honest, these two have had two good fights but this will be one fight to many for Marquez! Pay-per-view is one American import they can keep Its totally unfair to those of us that pay a monthly subscription for sports to then pay again if there is a big event.
