    Channel 739 showed the whole fight, build up and undercard at 7pm the next day....for nothing?

    I listened to it on the radio at a mates, as i refuse to pay for PPV.

    Anyway, next day about 7pm, i went to 739, just to watch the preview loop for a bit, but not willing to pay to watch the repeat.
    Instead it was on the BS preamble, then ring walk and just carried on until the fight was over, then showed the undercard.

    Result.
    Really surprised me that, pity about Haye's performance toe, i mean, though.

    It was due to a technical fault the previous day where costumers couldn't get through to Sky box office so they put it out for free the next day.

    They did a similar thing with Groves-Degale, they showed highlights on skysports news barely an hour after the fight finished.
