As long as people are prepared to pay £15.00 to watch a boxing PPV, guys like Primetime will always be looking to offer events. If you take what Boxnation delivers for £10.00 per month compared to £15.00 for Pacman Vs. Bradley then it's clear Primetime and PPV boxing is a major rip-off. Boxing fans need to boycott PPV or it'll never stop.
I hope people don't start moaning that Boxnation failed to grab the UK broadcast rights. I'm more dissapointed that SKY Sports didn't land the rights. I can see myself cancelling SKY Sports after the summer. It's sad to see how many of these big fights they keep on missing. Surely SKY would have enough funds to snap up every televised event from America if they really wanted to.
