| I think there are a couple of reasons we used to get them "free". For starters they weren't strictly speaking free since not only do we have to pay our annual television licence fee but also subscription monthly to Sky Sports which showed these events. I'm sure it would have always been in their mind to eventually switch the PPV's to their Box Office channels, however they had to build an audience for the PPV's first, especially since the "live" shows here typically don't start till 1am, therefore a lot of people don't watch them "live" anyway. |
