Mayweather/McGregor Fight Discussion

oh right i didn't know that, how do you know?

 

he also didnt write off McGregors chances yesterday, hes losing the plot

 

Warren will start saying its a great fight if bt get it but at the ggg canelo uk presser he was saying the fight is a disgrace etc

 

I think BT/Boxnation have gone hard for it and may actually have it in the bag now.

Reasons:

- their coverage of the press conferences;
- BT releasing the mcgregor documentary last week;
- Warren's glint in his eye in the IFL interview when it was brought up (and his change in stance on the fight as alluded to by the poster above); and
- Hearn's bitchiness in his IFL interview about the selling prices being offered ("sky would never go above 19.95" etc)

Also Boxnation have a good relationship with Mayweather and BT with the UFC (showing a lot of Mc's fights) so that stacks up.

Watch it be on ITV now

 

yh i think bt will get it which is bad for sky, all the casual will realize bt sport do boxing as well, they will be able to advertise some of their cards during the broadcast and they have also got the best fight in ggg canelo as well as the biggest event in mayweather megregor, will be a poor decision from sky to let bt get it

 

especially as they gave up GGG/Canelo to go for May/Mac

 

yeah exactly

 

Honestly don't care. I'll sleep through it and wake up to the result and memes.

Whilst been a poor decision from sky, it will be a great coup and one in the bag for BT.
This fight is massive and i mean massive. Everyman and his dog are talking about it. This could be a catalst for bt to let the wider audience know that they do boxing. And theyre doing it just as good as sky.
Bt would be daft to miss out on this

 

I'm saving my ppv money for GGG vs Alvarez.

I don't blame either fighter for taking this fight and it's really caught the imagination of many people it seems. The most interesting part of the event is the build up cos the fight will be a stinker imo.

 

I would be astonished if it wasn't on sky, but It would make sense that BT have it seeing how things seems to be playing out.Frank looks to have dropped the idea of chasing PPV for GGG-Canelo & uk card and have confirmed that Saunders is on standard BT/BN. PPV wouldn't have worked out well nos wise - so maybe they've gone hard for Mayweather.

Interesting times

 

Does still get a % of all PPV's on SKY like he claimed when Fury has been on SBO, surely he'll earn a mint from this if he does

 

Hearn doesn't get a cut because he's not the promoter. Sky gets half, has to deal with all costs at their end relating to the PPV and the promoter gets the other half usually.

The fact that Sky haven't secured the rights to this yet does suggest to me that this may end up away from Sky.
