    They are new in the UK market. It's online streaming channel only.

    Majority shareholder owns Leeds FC

    Theyll probably adopt the PPV model that UFC uses then

    No prices released yet.

    I would be very surprised if they went down the PPV route for UFC

    The Premier League and Boxing will be their major sports they'll commit too.

    Fury did great numbers for them recently.

    Eleven sports could allow some of the sporting events they have to be available on other TV networks through licensing. Nobody really knows what they have planned yet.

    Wonder if they might look at bellator MMA as it will be lot cheaper then UFC

    And Bellator do a lot of UK shows , it would make sense but I can see them just binning MMA altogether or perhaps something new will be launched showing British and Euro based MMA shows.

    BT happy to keep Boxing but they picked the wrong promoter to make it big time in my opinion but when Fury gets sparked then what will they do?

    Guaranteed Rangers and Celtic matches get high numbers consistently. Especially now with Lord Gerrard in charge of Rangers, a **** ton of Liverpool fans will be watching Rangers games too. Rangers = numbers.

    A sad day for Eddie Hearn haters.

    Say what you want about sky they are a slick production and very well organised

    I said before the old wrestling analogy of Sky is the Wwf and BT Sports is WCW.

    The better organised and ran company is always going to come out on top and that's Sky sports.

    Everything about BT just stinks of lower tier
