    Check this link

    http://www.skybet.com/skybet?action=GoEvType&id=10004701

    Scroll down at the Outrights section, you see the Sky Box Office logo next to Outright Winner?

    What does that mean? I'm clutching at straws aren't I? :patsch

    Another thing if you go to live boxing on the left hand side of that link you'll see the Pac v Cotto fight.

    Loyal to whom? You just signed a petition to watch boxing on ESPN, it's like supporting the Israelis and the Palestinians.

    I'm certain it will be on Sky mate. If they can show the Floyd v wee man fight then they'll defo show Cotto v Pac. A deal will probably be in place. Their latest schedule goes up to Nov 20, one day before the fight itself. I'd expect an announcment next month.

    Definitely, I would think you are right.

    I think if ESPN overlook the super six, then it wouldnt bode well for the future. I wonder what their numbers are like for subscriptions, I would love to see a comparison of their current numbers and what Setanta was doing, i.e. a nice barometer to gauge how big a boost Setanta's boxing did for their numbers??

    I'll happily pay ppv for the final if they give us the decent fight from the rounds first.

    If they buy the format and it is hyped enough it could make sense for them to go Box Office with it. If it is BO then it might make them market it more rather than it go under the radar.

    I'm banned from looking at betting sites at work.

    Could someone tell me what appears on that page?

    On the Skybet boxing page there's a link for the Super six tourney. You scroll down and there's various betting options. When you see the betting for the outright winner the Sky Box Office logo accompanies this particular section.

    Make of it what you will.

    I emailed Hennessy sports last night to find out what the hell was going on with regards to a uk tv deal. Did you know that Hennessy has done a deal as well with Canadian tv - super fight channel or something. Froch became something of a hit over there when he trained there and since his fight with Pascal.
