    A number of sites are saying that GBP and Fox are extending and adding to their tv deal.

    GBP will now get 48 dates a year and half of them will air live on Monday night on the new Fox Sports 1 channel from the U.S. The other half will be on Saturday on Fox Deportes.

    Richard Shcaeffer also says he is talking to Fox about doing bigger fights, ones that would have 7-figure license fees and Fox is interested.

    I tell people any non-Mayweather fight is possible on TV, Fox paid UFC 570 million for 6 years, if these corporations see a million hardcore fans tuning every week to there new channel that means a lot to them cause these national sports stations get killed by espn
