    This seems tailor made for Boxnation, but if Haymon is looking for higher viewing figures maybe Channel 5 are in with a shout

    it will go to the channel who shows interest and offers the most money for the tv rights.

    wont be channel 5 thats for sure.

    boxnation or sky sports.

    NBC have a relationship with ITV on a coporate level but I doubt they'd be interested. I'd say they'd be on Boxnation.

    wouldn't write ITV off just yet, they've lost a **** load of sport recently and may be desperate to buy something.

    since the fights are likely to be on live at 2am-5am, its not like they have many viewers then anyway, can always show re-runs and highlights on itv 4 etc .

    Hearn was saying a while ago he was having discussions with haymon and he had something big planned for fight pass, so makes sense

    Fightpass is a legal online streaming through the Matchroom website and you can see 10 or so if their cards per year, generally small hall shows but you also get ticket priority and other features like archived fights

    why would Haymon go to all thr trouble to get his fighters free to air to huge audience only to get it shown to 28 people in UK?

    id imagine SKY get the rights but their overseas coverage is awful

    He is basically bankrolling the whole thing, plus Uk isn't going to be a huge target for him

    Doubt it - they've got a deal to run live casino throughout the night and they're not going to ditch a long running agreement like that to run some low rating overseas boxing.
