| 1400036 | 2015-05-05 03:45:00 | and if you reduce the VOD price to say $9.99 a lot less people would feel the need to watch it via alternative sources. . I still think those who pirate would do so regardless. Why pay $10 when they can get it free Piracy is still rampant for TV/films/music, all are available very cheaply , low cost hasnt stopped the piracy. Also, the promoters need to cover costs, ie the multi-millions paid to the boxers. They would need alot of $10's just to break even. Just a small payout for the boxers :-) "New estimates show Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s payoff for fighting Manny Pacquiao could easily be $180 million, up substantially from earlier predictions of $120 million. Pacquiao gets the short end of the purse, but even that is expected to be well over $100 million by the time everything is tallied up." |

Indeed they would and they would probably get a lot more if they did so. |

| 1400039 | 2015-05-05 04:46:00 | $49 Sky. Too much.It's normally $39.And that fight? Husband is a boxing fan but couldn't see why the hype, 2 smaller, not too tall, older guys.He said Parker any day - he'd slaughter them both in 5 seconds.I saw the snippets on the news, to me it looked like a bit of a cuddle at the beginning and then a fair bit of dnacing by the dark guy with just a few smacks at each other.I'm not a boxing fan, but....Parker any day.Comparing them to Parker is wrong. To completely different games | plod (107) | ||
| 1400040 | 2015-05-05 04:49:00 | PLUS a Sky subscription to be able to order it ;)True. I don't have one. But went to mates to watch. Chipped in a few dollars had a bbq watched the end of the league then played some darts. not bad for $5 Pus a hangover for free in the morning.Joys of having a couple of mates that are fresh Batchelors. | plod (107) | ||
