Sky will not want boxnation to outbid them. They could do it as a ppv, be interesting to see if hearn puts a show on that weekend and they do a double header
It might not be just a case of outbidding SKY. BoxNation could argue that this fight will help them stay in business. Therefore BoxNation will be in a position to buy other fights from the promoters. Frank has a great relationship with Arum. And Floyd's last four or five fights have been on the channel.
The fight isn't on. But if it gets made then Boxnation need this fight. It could be huge for them in terms of subscribers.
I'm in two minds. I think the fight could be bigger in the UK if it's on Sky but BoxNation is good for boxing and that could go under if it misses out.
Very likely- probably a week later however. Sky certainly have the better platform for this fight (PPV/hype machine of Sky) but as has been stated above the last five Mayweather fights have been on Boxnation.
Sky can outbid anything Boxnation can when they have a PPV. Hearn has built good relationships as of recent which could help his cause too.
Will be on at 4.30am so wont be PPV. Unless as others have said Hearn puts a decent UK leg on earlier in the evening.
agreed sky can blow BN out of the water if it's on PPV but it would hve zero to do with Hearn..and the big whales in America couldn't give a Monkeys about him anyway
Yeah and then everybody starts arguing over who gets paid what. Suddenly Floyd and Manny's share is not as big. I doubt it would be a split PPV with big names.
