    It was Top Rank that they signed up with mate, Rios-Antillon was the 1st one they had on. I think they said it would be about 8 cards a year around that standard which I think is great news. They were never going to get Pacquiao fights obviously but Top Rank have so many top fighters that I'm sure them cards will be excellent anyway.

    They've charged a lot more for a lot shitter fights.

    I think they wanted like £7.99 for Holyfield v Botha. :lol:

    If Prime Time had its own "sports news channel", it could compete with sky.

    What is the point in having big fights on primetime..? Primetime needs a ****ing free channel, to promote its fights inwhich you have to buy.

    SkySports News is probably the most watched channel in my house, even though they only talk about Football, and crappy Cricket.

    Thats not good enough, all week...?

    The actual channel "PrimeTime" needs promoting, and needs a free news channel. So people actually know what primetime is..!

    Open you're mind, see....."BIGGER PICTURE".

    Ether prime-time wants to grow, and challenge sky or it will continue to be a **** channel.

    Primetime needs to be HD

    I think the frequency for HD costs a **** of a lot, more than Primetime have atm, and Sky will probably double their usual charge because they are competition.

    Mayweather has always seemed to have a very good relationship with Sky over the years.
    I would be surprised if that was it.

    Pacquiao/Marquez perhaps?

    Mayweather vs Ortiz need to be on Sky.

    Hopefully Mayweather will tell GBP he wants Sky TV coverage!

    At least we will see Sky give the fight some promotion and build up plus HD is always a nice bonus. :)
