    Nah, I'd prefer SF unless Mousasi, Overeem etc are fighting in Japan.

    Slowly MMA and boxing fans are merging for the right and wrong reasons. Personally, I want all combat sports to get bigger and find a home on sky, espn etc

    I was just thinking about this the other day. I subscribed to Premier Sports on Friday so that I could watch the Tyson Fury fight and then the Limond/Morales fight on Saturday night. It would be great if they were to pick up a lot of the stuff that HD Net show in the States. I can't see the rights costing that much.

    I used to email Sky and Bravo back in the day to show Pride. Never happened.

    Isn't Eurosport still showing K-1 on a delay?

    I don't think any of our fans would want WEC. It's MMA and small guys. Not much attraction.

    K1 Grand Prix with top dogs like Hari, Overeem and Schilt would be awesome.

    I'm not too sure with them. Last one I saw was months ago and a year or two old. It's quite hard to keep track of what they have on their channel tbh.

    Could be!:think But once people see the awesome fights and cards that WEC put without fail, I reckon people might come around. And if they don't, **** em. They don't deserve it then.:bart

    K-1 should take on quite easily, you'd think. Always action packed and filled with knock outs. Just what the casuals like.

    they usually show strikeforce on Bravo the day after, I don't know why they can't just show it live
