Pacquiao's destruction of Hatton was the first one that springs to mind. Foreman's destruction of Frazier was another. MTF
Like his father has with darts, he has tapped into a particular demographic and made a product which appeals enormously to them. MTF
McGregors fight was on BT Sport. You pay about £10 a month to subscribe to that channel. Most of those who have it do so because football is shown...
Brook became something of a mainstream figure by the end of his run. I can't find his PPV numbers (SKY are actually quite poor at publishing a lot...
Hatton v Manny. On at stupid-O'clock in the morning too: 'could have easily done one million buys' (Pacquiao-Hatton PPV numbers something to...
It also took place on a channel which has about three and a half million subscribers. Those fight numbers I quoted are PPV numbers, for fights not...
Antony is right that MMA is popular here. It has certainly grown in popularity over the last five years or so. But unlike elsewhere, this rise in...
The first film was actually very good. I enjoyed it the first time I saw it and enjoy it each time I rewatch it (which is reasonably often). The...
And yes, Joshua is a HW and HW fight are still 'big' fights. But even fights like Froch - Groves sell around a million PPV's in the UK...
That article is full of MMA talking heads boasting about how popular MMA is. They are hardly impartial on that matter and there is little...
MMA in Britain is popular, sure, but it is still nowhere near as popular as boxing is. Boxing's popularity here is rising, and has risen pretty...
Jesus fuck... MTF :D
Basically AgREED. The Mayweather who lit Chico up wins this in about a minute. This version of Floyd could well coast to a boring 12 round...
'Casual' fans are exactly that. Casual fans. They read online fansites, they watch PPV's and they talk lots and lots of shit. I've heard a good...
I'll be watching, but watching behind my hands. It'll be the only time in a decade I'll be willing Mayweather to spark out his opponent, and in...
I'd have backed the eight-hundred and fifty year old version of Emile Griffith that Minter beat to knock out Amir Khan. I'd back Amir Khan's...
I haven't seen anything from Canelo at MW that would persuade me that he would even beat Kevin Finnigan, who Minter beat, let alone Minter. What...
Canelo has done precisely nothing to suggest he would beat even the likes of Minter and Vito. Who has he beat at MW? Paul Smith and Amir Khan?...
Ward has built himself a pretty impressive resume despite not fighting too often, but nothing in that resume suggests he could beat Jones Jr....
He's not 'awful'. He's a good fighter. But in comparison to what has gone before him in such a decorated division, he is an average champion. He...
AgREED. Erratic is spot on as well. Canelo is a decent champion in a truly awful era of middleweight fighters. Awful. Canelo's resume makes...
Saw this yesterday. It's better than I thought it would be based on what I'd heard about it. It's certainly better than Prometheous. MTF
Bellend really laying into him here. Getting very big for his boots is this silly cunt. MTF
SKY laying into Brook here. Turning on the house fighter: Hearn won't like this. MTF
Brook was 30 second away from a long nap. A long nap. He knew it, just like he did against GGG. MTF
Bellend laying into Brook, here. Good for him. MTF
The eye doesn't look that bad. MTF
Brook had the sense to get out before he was carried out, there. He was certain to be laid out. MTF
Spence broke Brook apart in the second half of that fight. Brook hit him with plenty of good shots and he just walked through them and then...
SKY comms saying how unfortunate it was that Brook got 'injured', ignoring the fact that his eye is fucked because he keeps getting punched in the...
