Can Sky really get away with DeGale vs Groves on its own as a PPV?

    Perhaps instead of the fight we'll get footage of the WBO committee meeting (round Warrens' house) declaring Clev the 175lb champ. Gotta give value for money after all....

    do you have a contact email address. I can only find a general one. I have posted in the comments section regarding Nelson's last piece on the groves fight asking how they can justify this being PPV.

    I cant wait for ringside to see how they spin it!!

    You could have Marquez vs Pacquiao on PPV at British prime time and Rob would still moan about the undercard.

    Either we put our hands in our pockets to see these fights or we have ''let's wait until it's bigger'' - which basically means it'll never happen.

    Get it ordered people :deal

    i'm plainning on canceling the sky subscription because the footy season is coming to an end. this news allows me to ring them up and say you either put groves vs degale on sky sports 1 or i'm going to cancel my subscription, if they so ok (very unlikely) then thats great but if they say no then i'l just cancel like I was suppose to and blame it on them for not putting the fight on regular sky sports.

    I'd rather pay to watch the ritual torture of 18 Zebra at Longleat Safari Park than watch Khan Vs McCloskey.

    I weigh it up like this. Its not about the cash in the principal and do I want to spend the night in watching boxing or do i wanna go out to a bar/club or for something to eat.

    I would rather go out then stay in and watch this card. I rarley watch a saturday fight night and i am a major fan of the sport.
