    Thank god for that. Was worried I was going to miss out on watching Whyte and Chisora for the price of 4 dominos then.

    I suspect the three other broadcasters would be DAZN, BT and ITV.

    There was also a rumour that Amazon Prime may have been the other broadcaster that enquired. Not sure how true that was however.

    He probably made the other 2 broadcasters up.

    Hope people watched the Max Holloway fight on BT Sport tonight - 25 minutes of great action.

    No idea how Calvin Kattar managed to survive 25 minutes of a pounding and he will never be the same man again that entered the cage.

    No stopping the man at all and fook knows what long term damage he has suffered from that pasting.

    A warrior he certainly is.

    They are going for everything at the moment. So fairly likely I would imagine

    Holloway was unreal. Interesting he has put his name in the hat if any of the 4 pull out next week

    Would have thought there would be a massive deal there is someone can pull together a decent stable worldwide could sell worldwide rights like dazn amd would give a massive budget

    It wouldn’t shock me if Amazon were to give Mick a decent wedge for a couple of shows near Christmas that he wouldn’t accept- running alongside the Channel 5 shows of course. Mick has talked about the possibility of PPV before and Amazon would be more palatable to him than that option I presume.

    That deal seems to have slowly fizzled out
