    Sun 22 WBC Light-Heavyweight Title
    Bernard Hopkins v Jean Pascal (as live)
    11.00am Montreal
    Canada

    11.00am? What's that about.

    I no understand.

    I guess it obviously works out a bit cheaper for them to not have it live. Good news though :)

    Just saw it on sky website. I assume they will commentate on it live but not air it live.

    I might be in favour of this IF it meant we get way more fights and only the big fights are live like pac, mayweather etc

    You'd think the tightarses would show it live and chuck it in with the Groves-Degale card, it might get them a few extra sales.

    Atleast we get too see it and not watch it on Eurosport in 5 months time.

    fairplay will just avoid the result.

    Cheers Lads :good

    Yeah i agree mate i mean i probs watch the fight live cos i'm like that but as you say this may make things better in terms of snaring bigger bouts.

    I'm glad this is being shown i got a lad i coach hooked on watching Hopkins and this fight (watched press conference/face off) :lol:

    Edit:Gaz is right actually...i forgot this is may 21st this is bit silly by sky might as well chuck it on.

    It would make a a night of grudge matches etc. Could be built up even more.

    i think they have to pay allot more if its on the ppv. warren will probs say it wont help the ppv so wont be prepared to pay for it.

    Thats a good call and would definately attract more people to fork out the PPV.
