    I just looked on the 'live on sky' boxing section on the website and the Pac fight in Nov isnt on!

    So 1st they pass up on the Mayweather fight and now Manny's fight? If they keep up this **** they can go **** off!

    they never put up US fights until a month before. The fight will almost certainly be on sky.

    I don't think they chose to pass up on Mayweather-Ortiz. They were forced to, because GBP wanted Sky to put it on PPV.

    Sky made an offer to show it on standard Sky for a fixed fee (as they usually do). Primetime offered to show it on their channel with a % of the sales going to GBP, I believe. GBP went with Primetime.
