FW to leave Sky according to Twitter

sounds pretty good if thats true:hey

 

So £10 + SkySports + the odd Primetime show + Premier Sports = divorce


Would free up the funds though

This announcement is gonna go down like the Titanic.

 

So a tenner to watch Paul Smith v George Groves on Dec 17? Sheesh

 

Interesting. Frank's been complaining about not having enough TV dates for years and I guess feels like he can get enough subscribers to give him budget for that. I know there are other costs involved but even if he only gets 5,000 buyers at £10 a month it gives him around 50k to play with every month, something I doubt Sky will afford him.

Maybe with enough subscribers he'll look at US cards as well I'd guess.

Bad news overall though I'd say :-(

 

£10 a month would be pretty good for a dedicated channel. Please it available as a digital service though, Frank - or whack it on Top-Up TV and all will be good.

 

If Frank is serious about this and goes for the big US cards as well where does that leave Premier?

And they should also have a look at doing a deal with Sauerland for their cards. They put on some good shows.

And they better not get the FW Youtube channel guys for commentary! They're terrible!

 

I know it's incredibley unlikely but it would be awesome if they went on the beeb or itv

 

That's something that worries me. He's not going to have anyone who's got a bad word to say about him.

Colin Hart. :barf

 

And no HD..

 

Another £120 to my yearly bills? I'll pass on that thank you!

 

I wonder if you can get an online subscription or something like that.
You know, for the folks who aren't on great terms with Sky.
