    I'm sure there have been numerous threads on this, so I'm sorry for the repetition, but does anybody definatively know if this fight is being broadcast live in the UK?

    I've checked with Setanta and Sky and can't seem to find an answer...

    Thanks in advance people.

    Yes, PPV Sky Box Office, 15 quid. On the undercard is also Cook's first world title defence, Khans comeback, Maccarinelli-Banks, Harrison-Rogan and more, not bad!

    Excellent, thanks for that.

    I didn't realise they were showing the Cook/Khan/Harrison card on the night as well.

    Sounds like an OK PPV deal.

    I was thinking of that, but am a bit dubious of the stream quality.

    I know there is always a link posted on ESB for a stream on fight night, but is the quality generally any good?

    I've got visions of the stream crashing at a vital moment in the small hours, whilst i crouch over the laptop!

    I'll be paying for it and will enjoy it along with the rest of my familly and friends watching it at mine, better than scraping about for a dodgy stream.
