    Just read on DS that Sky are dropping PPV boxing,no money to be made from it seems to be the reason.

    I haven't paid for a PPV event in years,poor value for money imo.Even the Haye fight which was the bones of €22 on Sky was FTA on German TV.
    The only drawback might be the lack of coverage for big fights,will Sky Sports show them or will Primetime pick them up as PPV events?
    Anyone dreaming of extra fta coverage may forget it-too much money tied up in boxing to let them go fta on UK tv.

    Only taken them about 15 years to cop this!

    Absolute rip-off PPV boxing.

    Can usually be found FTA on the likes of 13e & 19e.

    Delighted to see hope they all become fta now on astra as they have been overcharging for these fights for way two long.

    FTA would be very unlikely.
