    I take the first paragraph of the article that I have provided a link for as an indication that it will be shown on Sky. As we all know, Sky Sports' website is only ever used as a platform to advertise and plug the fights that they are showing. Sometimes, if we are lucky, the odd story is about fighters not on Sky. By the way this article is worded, it looks like we won't have to watch the tourney on dodgy streams:

    The thing is with showetime being a us station,they will have the fights on at a time that suits the american market so i would imagen the earliest the fight would be starting at 2am at the earliest,this will not appeal to uk tv's as they wont get as many viewers at that time compared to earlier time slots etc .

    it seems that showtime have put Mick Hennesey in charge of finding a UK TV deal for the tournement.
