The Most Exciting Boxer In Britain Comes To Primetime

Primetime saved this fight. Without them the fight would probably be canceled. It's always good to see a competing broadcaster get in on a big fight, it's not fair that one major broadcaster has the monopoly. Even if the fight went to the channel in this strange, unexpected way, I'd say it's life support for the sport. All praise due to Primetime and to Khan for not pulling out of the fight after losing 80% of purse.

Look at some of the history: Primetime first started up in order to broadcast Carl Froch fights in the UK which would have otherwise not been shown on TV at all. Froch is one of the best UK boxers today but even free TV wouldn't pick up his Super Six fights. Not having your fight broadcast at all is detrimental to boxing and Primetime changed all that.Last edited by Fix; 04-13-2011, 08:30 AM.

Either way, money has to be paid by the viewer. Just because it's called PPV, it's not much different from a cable/satellite subscription. Without Primetime this fight would have probably been called off. And you can pay to watch the fight online at the Primetime website without having to subscribe to the channel.
