    probably because its on Primetime and not Sky, there hasnt been a 24/7 over here to promote the fight.

    24/7's not hard to find, I think Sky only showed it for the Hatton fights anyway.

    I don't think it being on Primetime has anything to do with it. sky never really hyped up fights in the US that didn't have a Brit involved.

    Well Mayweather/De La Hoya was on ITV along with 24/7 (i think), then Mayweather /Hatton, as we know, was on SBO. Pretty sure Mayweather/Marquez was free on Sky Sports 1 but didnt show the 24/7. Mayweather/Mosley was on Sky Sports 1 with 24/7... compare any of these to the promotion of this recent fight over here and you gotta admit its pretty ****in poor. To be honest I completely forgotten myself that the fight was on. It just came round really quickly and I think it IS because there has been no Sky Sports coverage. Even when they dont show the 24/7 shows you still hear about the fight and all the little pressers. I think the Super Six would also be a lot better if it were on Sky rather than Primetime.
