:wooo The PPV walls are tumbling down, I hope others will follow. At least Haye did something right in his career :yep
khan-mcclosky ended up on primetime because sky wouldn't show it on ppv, so this does perhaps mean khan will not be on sky again. I'm not sure if this will mean we get big fights without having to pay extra, or if all the big fights will either not be shown or will be on primetime
Fantastic news, dont know why anyone would think any different. You can guarantee if Mayweather-Khan comes off next year that'll be ppv
Can see everything going on Primetime now. They already have Mayweather Ortiz (which would've been free on Sky anyway).
Boxing needs to return to Terrestrial TV, that's true mainstream exposure in the UK. Channel 5 is making steps but Mick Hennesey is their partner and to be frank, he doesn't have the stable now to entertain the public. All he has left is Fury, now that he's lost both Carl Froch and John Murray.
Good news, as long as every big fight doesn't end up on Primetime ppv. Hopefully, it'll lead to more fights on terrestrial tv which would be good for everyone.
