If fury goes to sky, the loyal sky season ticket holders will get their considered opinions on the move pumped directly into their living rooms multiple times an hour for only 79.99 a month or whatever.
I’m wondering if Fury’s original BT deal is up? He’s had 5 fights now. Might’ve been a 5 fight deal? Bit interesting to hear that discussions ongoing to see if it’s on Sky or BT when Fury was supposed to have an exclusive deal with Frank and BT. Although Warren’s twitter page did announce it yesterday so who knows.
But if so then why is Warren tweeting about it yesterday? The big question for me is what happened to the huge announcement Warren had (which I was led to believe was a renewed TV deal with BT)? That was weeks ago and still nothing. Are BT stalling until Fury is set in stone as part of the deal?
My guess is MTK are playing the networks off each other to get the best deal. Warren has no choice but to back Fury or else he's surrendered. Big power plays happening atm behind closed doors I reckon.
Boy oh boy, Frank Warren will be must watch TV if this is announced on Sky Sports. I'm sure Dubois will suddenly become the "no1 heavyweight on the planet".
I see Warren was out for dinner with Arum today, addressing the media. If this is on sky someone needs to tell Frank quickly because the man may not survive the blow if it goes on any longer. It's just strange that BT haven't announced their coverage. The US coverage is complicated with the joint PPV but the UK coverage should be straightforward.
On ifl Warren says BT have first refusal so unless they are being asked to pay something astronomical I find it strange they wouldn't exercise that right.
