    Adam Smith flies off to meet bernard Hopkins and does long interviews with him about his next big fight.

    When the fight vs Pascal comes off, Sky don't show it because they "don't have the money".

    :patsch

    There's nothing I'd love more than for sky to show Hopkins-Pascal as part of the Cleverly ppv but I'm guessing they think the British bill is tasty enough to get people to buy, which is probably right

    At least Adam Smith was there in Germany to interview Vitali after the fight! Give him a break! Or a holiday! Or ten holidays!

    Sky could do with getting in more fights from America. We are missing the likes of Martinez and the ending of the Super 6.

    If they put Froch and Hopkins on the PPV as it stands now, that's some value.

    Wonder if the likes of Ed Robinson (I know he views this forum) would take requests from the fans on how to improve the show and SNF for that matter.

    when have sky ever said they don't show a fight because of the money??

    every Hopkins fight has been shown on UK tv in the past 10 years apart from Ornelius a tune up

    I'd happily see them a week late as part of sfn at peak time! Better than a you tube vid or shitty stream

    Without too much hassle you can watch the fights on your TV on the Sunday thanks to technology. I'd rather Sky just used the fees to get live fights.
