    Even if this was true which I doubt the Skysports PPV model is even more developed than BT Sports then factor in the ESPN North America PPV platform doubt its an issue. If anything I imagined a joint Sky sports/BT Sports PPV broadcast like Fox and ESPN did for Fury vs Wilder 2 and HBO/Showtime did for Floyd vs Manny.

    No, it was in yesterdays paper, BT sport have stated they can have nothing to do with the promoting done on this fight because of the guy Fury named as the deal clincher.

    If true it makes the UK TV broadcast deal easier.

    Notice how these company reps are never named...

    So if that is the case will we never see another MTK fighter on TV again?

    Of course we will,slow day at the red tops here

    Yeah it's interesting because fury won't sign to fight AJ until he's negotiated a new contract imo..question is who with?

    No, BT compete to show AJ`s fights, if they bid the highest they show it, I watched Fury v Wilder 2 on BT and it`s being suggested that sky and other networks might avoid this fight because of the connection with Irish gangs, even the Wilder v Fury third match is in doubt too.

    Yes, it`s just because Fury named this Danny fella by name.

    No because those fighters didn`t name villains that could be pointed out like this Danny guy who Fury was praising.

    This is another level though bro, it's all over the media what he's been up to, blood spilt to the point he can't operate and do deals with legit businesses
