    Don't know why they can't just show it live. Whats the point in this delayed coverage rubbish? Show it live and then repeat it throughout the day!!!!

    Wouldn't do the numbers live to warrant them putting it on

    It can't cost much more to show it live plus won't Sky have someone kind of deal with interbox because of the first fight with Froch and the rematch which is due to take place? Plus if it was down to money then Boxnation would of shown this fight live as they would of outbid Sky.

    So if it's not financial reasons then why aren't they showing it live?

    Is it just to **** people like you off?

    Tbf Grachev is a decent fighter, but still anyone that stays up till then needs to sort it out

    It would cost more than double to show it live pointless really if it is on only 3 hours later. No they wouldn't sky have much more spending power than Boxnation that is obvious

    They don't have more spending power on boxing otherwise Mayweather v Cotto and Martinez v Chavez Jnr would of been on Sky. Sky's boxing budget has been cut due to Sky going big on F1.

    If sky really wanted those fights they could have got them, they have the ability to spend more. They just didn't want them because they would have made a loss on them, but they still have the ability to spend more

    Theyve also got to get a studio team / sound team / camera team and so on for a live broadcast.

    This way they can just throw dave darts some fish heads into his cage and get him to read the prompter at 8 with just him and his keeper behind the camera
