    I don't see what they can now offer.

    Sauerland exclusive so PS won't have any German fights
    Fact Fwank has picked up Hopkins Dawson so quick, a fight PR would have charged £9.95 for, suggests Fwank might be in a position to secure more GBP fights.

    Any other semi decent card will be on SKY.

    Fwank has actually saved Boxing, instead of having 3 seperate PPV channels, 1 in PT which would charge a shocking amount for each event.

    It will be black and white

    Free Boxing on sky and a basic £10 a month for a Boxing channel.

    Long term will save a fortune so all in all once PT lose the bulk of GBP fights.

    Obviously downside could be PT & PS still pick up good fights forcing us to stay subcribed. Hopefully both fall away.:good

    I agree but you have to give channels time, if its sucessfull and makes plenty of money maybe Frank will then make it HD........ ( I doubt it)

    Yep! Good news. Wonder how people like Khan move forward? Surely he will have to go back to Sky? Boxnation won't be able to pay him enough and like you say, surely PrimeTime and Premier will fall away now.

    I don't really care if he makes money or not, point is if people do the SUMS it's VALUE & CHEAPER LONG TERM.

    So hate Fwank all you want, but £7.99 a month PS & PT charging £9.95 & £14.95 a EVENT compared to it all on one channel for a standard £10 fee is much better.

    Im thinking of the NON Fwank cards. His own cards won't be ****. biased commentary and all kinds of ****. **** that.

    But the American fights & German ones if he picks up what PT/PS would pick up will be worth it.

    All very well but boxing certainly isn't free on Sky. I hope Fwank can pick up more of the German cards on top of the Sauerland deal and I will certainly buy this.

    This only works for Premier Sports if you only buy it for boxing (and you ONLY watch boxing on it).

    Primetime will still be going all they need to do is pick up the Khan fights and they make money not like it is necessary for it to have a big schedule.
