Every time we try to make an HBO World Championship Boxing fight, we're up against mythical pay-per-view numbers." - Ross Greenburg, former president of HBO Sports.


    ppv is bad for the networks. ross greenburg is not an unbiased source for that sort of information.


    ppv is great for the top fighters and promotors. they f#cking love that sh#t.

      I miss cable descramblers...I got every ppv free from like 1995 through 2003. Damn fibre optics. People were stealing PPVs domestically long before streaming.

        I remember they jailed someone for twitter comments, UK likes to harass its people.

        I hope the Guru gets out of it clean.

          Larryx would currently be doing time for his twitter comments if he were from the UK.

            Any experienced streamer already has back-ups.

              The only way for them to stop it is to scare people into not doing it. That would mean things like giving stream providers double life sentences or detaining people indefinitely using anti-terrorism legislation. And that is definitely not an unrealistic prospect given recent trends.

              In the end I think you're probably right though. The technical challenge of doing it and the thrill of getting away with it will always appeal to the guys smart enough to do it. They can't jail them all.

                  This is how it's gonna be if we let it.

                  PPVs how it's gonna go my friends - and you'll be told it's cos of the milllions who streamed (for fights they never could or would have paid for anyway) - reality? The price of fights is deliberately being driven upwards to the point where any other format will become unsustainable...

                  The terrn eminence grise coulda been coined for a particular individual in the boxing business today and he ain't a boxer.

                  You think it can't happen? Go ask the OZ fans who Rupert Murdoch is and what it's like to try to watch boxing there.
