    Pacquiao did the same when he fought Jeff Horn over there.

    He's not complaining about it being replayed on Sky but it being replayed on a free-to-air platform - YouTube. Why should non-subscribers to Sky have next day access to fights which others have to pay for?

    Ben Shalom has said Hughie v Hunter will be on 2nd July in Manchester. Hatton is also fighting his exhibition 2nd July in Manchester. Surely they’re not sticking them on the same show.

    How many tickets do you reckon Fury Hunter does at the Manchester Arena, especially considering Boxxer don’t have many local ticket sellers ? Bradley Rea is the only one I can think of.

    Don’t see it doing more than 5000

    So Sky is not showing Top Rank events with MTK/Probellum headliners? First Dignum and now Donaire. Let's see what they do with Conlan's August fight.

    And at the same time they keep Macklin on commentary. :lol:

    A guess - Top Rank want their fights outside US to get as many viewers as possible to boost their fighters marketability. So they were happy to sign a deal with Sky where the fights were rapidly shown on YT in addition?

    Done the same with top rank. Made everyone sign letters saying no payments will be made to MTK or Probellum.


    Strangely they have Hughie fury headlining who is actually managed by sanctioned company hoopoe sports. Be interesting how boxxer play that on fight week
