They'll have too.... especially with the sucsess of Prizefughter.... it's not like that, but sky broadcasters are obviously aware that the tournament structure works well even as a low level.... so imagine how well this will do.... add Britains only current world champion (a very exciting one at that) and they know you can't go wrong.
Some have wondered how Showtime could afford such a tournament on their own. It appears the tournament is not a one-network operation. According to overseas pundits Jorg Lubrich and Dietmar Kreft, several television networks are involved - including ARD (Germany), SKY Sports (UK), Viasat (Denmark) and Showtime (America) taking the lead role on the project. The entire tournament project will cost around $50,000,000 million dollars after everything is said and done. An entire plan has mapped out to cover the costs by the television networks involved.

Bute is a coward. He'll outpoint Andrade before feasting on bums at the bell centre until retirement.
