    Nothing official, but according to everybodys favourite Live Sport on TV, Mayweather v Marquez seems to be on Sky Sports 1. Great news if it is, I might have been tempted to pay for it, but being on Sky Sports instead of Box Office makes it approx 100x better.

    Also a glimpse at the early Friday Fight Night shows for next season...

    September 4-Matchroom show at the York Hall, and appears to be Simpson v Truscott and Wale v Marsh
    September 11-Maloney show at Crystal Palace, Davis v Napa and McDermott v Fury
    September 18-??? Hayemaker show possibly...
    September 25-Hatton show at Manchester Velodrome, Macklin v Asikainen

    Also, rather oddly according to Boxrec, on October 9, Maloney has a show in Sunderland, Hearn a show in Liverpool, and Warren has Rogan v Sexton in Belfast.

    Will be interesting to see which ones have to back down and change dates. I'd imagine Rogan v Sexton would get priority?

    Without putting Haye or Khan in a title fight on the earlier UK leg theres no way JMM-Mayweather was going to be PPV over here. Nice to have it confirmed though!!

    This'd be quality. Let's hope they show it all not like the last debacle.

    The undercard looks great. And as much has Sky were rightly criticised for not showing much the Khan undercard, they tend to give you pretty much all of the televised portions of the US undercards, no matter how mediocre they've been at times.

    yeh even setanta used to miss a few or not show fights live.

    the only thing sky do get spot on is a Sky Sports 1/2 US HBO PPV card.

    Like Rob has stated, looks like a top undercard. Hope its all shown and yeah Gaz they won't PPV it without British interest.

    Its only a top undercard after the weigh in. Hasnt SN taught you guys anything :) ?

    Good that this fight is on Sky Sports but I would have paid for it without much fuss tbh. Now lets hope Khan doesnt fight on 14th November because they will have ahard time shifting buys for the Pacman fight without Khan

    JMM, Katsidis and Bika (dunno why) are 3 of my fave fighters, plus there is a good chance of Matthew getting sparked out :happy

    Hopefully, because they PPV all Khans fights anyway, there'd be that much point in attaching the JMM-PBF to one.
