    What do we reckon - Sky Box Office or will Boxnation blow their annual budget to get it?

    I started a thread on this a couple of months ago. I hope it's sky box office. Not that the fight needs promoting but sky will promote the hell out of it for casual Uk fans

    Sky will pay for this. Even at 4am it will do decent numbers.

    I hope it's on ITV.

    Realistically I will be (pleasantly) surprised if it doesn't end up on Sky Box Office.

    It'll be on Sky Box Office- the rights fee could be three million quid plus. Therefore the actual price of the PPV will be £25 plus. I hope they have a domestic show beforehand, even if it's a Prizefighter: The Comedy Heavyweights.

    The way Johnny Nelson and Adam Smith were just talking about this announcement you just know sky will outbid boxnation for this. They promote this like no other.

    I thought Nelson let slip that they've already done the deal. I suspect we will know more at the end of the month.

    I think it'll be on sky, with no british interest though I can't see casual fans staying up till 4am to watch it. which means it may not be PPV,

    Sky have the much bigger budget to get it. But expect Boxnation to go all out for this. They need this. This would do wonders for their subscribers.

    haha I actually thought the same thing as well. The bit where he said "You know what I feel I've got the best job in the world because this will be the biggest fight in my lifetime to be involved in" He then made a sudden change and said "I'm going to be able to watch that or whatever we're doing" The excitement in his voice was there for all to see. :lol:
