    Exactly. Sky cant try and sell two Boxing ppv's at the same time.

    Also if sky are showing it they really need to show 24/7. They didnt bother with the PBF v JMM fight which is BS. 24/7 starts this week.

    sky have never done a ppv that wasnt heavyweight or with a british fighter in the main event.

    Once, when he fought the same night as Amir Khan. It made cash common sense :hey to stick it on PPV as well.

    Sounds promising. I probably would have cancelled Sky if this wasnt shown.

    Without pissing on people's jubilation, I will point out that Top Rank's Twitter page once said that Froch-Pavlik was a confirmed fight. Until it's confirmed via Sky, I won't be getting too excited; that said, we all know that Sky are hyping PBF and, with that, any potential fight out there for him. Every casual fan knows who PBF and Pacquiao are so I'd be suprised if they didn't end up screening the Cotto-Pac fight with the intention of spelling out to the casual viewer that 'the winner could fight PBF next'.

    It just happened to be on the same night as a Khan fight and they piggybacked the Oscar fight on the PPV for a few extra sales.

    Damn........imagine how dull Cotto vs Pac 24/7 is gonna be. Im only interested to see if Jinky has had more work done lol

    Besides this one which will be pathetic excuse for a 24/7, I must say that HBO got it right when Little Floyd pitched this idea before the ODLH fight.

    We all have our favourite or funniest bits on 24/7. To this day, I **** myself when I see that little double-A powered acupuncture machine that De La Hoya claimed was cutting edge technology for any boxer (wtf LOL). But I have to say that Ricky's bird talking about thongs with her librarian glasses still has me sprung like a turbo vet lol.
