    Macklin v GGG is a big fight.

    If it's Mayweather / Canelo which it could be that is also quality.

    Sky straight back into PPV then, the Froch show wasnt a one off! :huh

    Have Sky said they are going back to PPV?

    Canelo-Floyd would do crap figures if it was on Sky Box Office regardless of who is chief support.

    No UK casual fans have heard of Canelo.. Trust me and the fight won't sell, The Khan-Mayweather fight would sell in the UK but not the Canelo-Mayweather fight and this shows how big a draw Amir Khan is but back to the point.

    I can't see this being on Sky Box Office unless Haye/Fury is chief support or maybe Burns/Vasquez.

    Yep, might be able to watch both main events, i think Dawson fight and the Lara fight will clash though.

    A bit more aggression from Sky Sports and they could put Frank out of business within months.

    The bloke's hardly putting any UK shows on anyway, wouldn't be a major loss.

    If Eddie is announcing it then it has to be one of his fighters involved....Despite what some people think he doesn;t run or schedule Sky Sports

    Mayweather vs Canelo will not be PPV in the UK.

    I can't remember accurately whether De La Hoya vs Mayweather was PPV in the UK..?

    If De La Hoya vs Mayweather was not PPV! Then..? Mayweather vs Canelo won't be!

    I hope it's on BOXNATION!

    No chance its on SBO and I'd be surprised if BoxNation asked for a extra payment.

    If it was a choice between boxnation or sky boxoffice for the Mayweather fight i would rather pay the £15 for sky boxoffice its just a more professional outfit.
