Sky have always had a stance of not revealing PPV buys for big boxing events so I doubt that will change however somebody on twitter posted estimates based on sampling done by some organisation called BARB. He's set his account to private now but iirc it varied from sub 10k for Burnley - West Brom with the highest selling game getting approx 70k buys.
Football and the Coronavirus
- Thread starter Robbo
- Start date
News coming out from todays PL meeting and there will be no reduction in the PPV price, at least for now. They'll review this at the International break and possibly look to reduce the price to £9.95.
According to reports there has been an average of 39k buys per game (as low as sub 10k per game and none above 100k) and according to at least one report this is pretty much bang on the target the PL set themselves, of getting as many buys as there would have been supporters in stadiums. I guess this is why we've got the 2 week delay - the PL are happy with the sales but just need to decide whether bad PR is worth it.

Will the footy be postponed again due to the Lockdown starting again from Thursday?

In the press conference Boris specifically said that elite football would continue. Nothing was said about anything below the Premier League.

elite football isn't just the premier league, not sure how far down it goes, the whole EFL perhaps?

I think that is the way it is treated (whether that is right or wrong). Project Restart was only about the premier league.

The question to the Prime minister was specifically about the Premier League. I don't think these measures affect the EFL one way or the other.
N.B. the question was from the Sun on Sunday about 40 minutes in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJl3QF58g3s

Even a fiver a game wouldn’t convince most neutrals to buy games imo.

Despite facing going out of business several EFL clubs have helped feed those in need.
No it wouldnt which is why i would suggest a price for the current round of games and split the money. £10 a week or similar.

You know when 2020 is ****** up when Newcastle have this season scored more than Man City, conceded fewer than Liverpool, are four points above Man Utd, and their top scorer has as many goals as Harry Kane.
Yet people criticise them

Is that true? If so that’s brilliant
