guys like Brook are getting me back watching the sport again. Hopefully he does Alexander and brings the title back to England.

So Kell's manager says look we can get you on ITV and pay cheque of £50k or we can get you on PPV and get you £500k. What do you think he would want to do

It would be easy to take the big payday now rather than looking at the bigger picture and building a fan base through either Sky or terrestrial TV. Realistically who is going to pay to watch a fighter who outside of hardcore boxing fans isnt exactly 'a name'.

The only chance Kell Brook has of being on PPV is a fight with Hatton or Khan and it has to be in the UK. The average sports fan wont pay money for a fight from the US with Brook v Alexander. Its madness Sky have got rid of PPV and thats the way it will stay until the recession is over in my view as the numbers werent adding up. Kell's next fight for the title will more than likely be in the US aswell so its going to be a hard sell to most people.
Out of the fighters out there Kell might well be PPV standard but not yet in my view. Just cant see PPVs on sky for a while yet.

When did Sky get rif of PPV? The only reason they dont have it is because they dont have anyone decent to show. If Haye had a a fight with Klischko I would bet my house it would be on Sky PPV

I am almost certain it was after the Haye v Harrison fight that sky were looking at PPV as a no go anymore. Then Haye got his Vitali fight which was the last PPV fight. I have got to give Haye credit. He was great at selling a PPV fight. He would be all over tv promoting the fight in the lead up to the fights Haye earner every single penny from his PPV time.
The thing with Sky which fucked them over Warren. He was a **** for PPVs. When Warren went back to Sky from ITV he had Khan on a PPV deal for Sky in his first fight he lost to Prescott. Then Warren was trying to push fighters not PPV standard in my view. So a mixture of Warren / Khan and even the Harrison fight has killed PPV. Look at the best pound for pound in the UK the number 1 fighter Carl Froch has never headlined a Sky PPV.
I think it could well main event a show. Its a proper World title but it wont be down to Kell it would more so be down to Devon Alexander. Also Devon Alexander is a Golden Boy Fighter and he could headline a Golden Boy card in my opinion against Kell. I think Golden Boy will watch Kell closely with him being lined up to fight Khan too in the future.Lost Pilot said:You think that fight would be a main event or undercard in the states leigton?

Froch couldnt even get a TV deal for years. He isnt a big selling name. Khan was supposed to be but nobody likes the arrogant no chin. If we had fighters like Hatton and Haye in there prime then we would see more PPV as these 2 could pull in stupid numbers of casual fans
