    Blimey, it's bad enough it's PPV in the first place...then you have to put up with adverts...now you don't even see the fights!

    What a load of ****.

    I'm sure they said on Sky all 7 fights will be shown live. It starts at 6pm so should be able to.

    Yeah, they've just trailed it (with zero mention of the pull outs, naturally, as they have to sell the ****) and it's starting at 6 so surely they should be able to show the lot if they get a move on.

    The running order should be published asap as if it isn't, some fans definitely will not see their man.

    Sky said they would show all seven fights live. That is great news and shows they are listening to the fans. It certainly makes this PPV a whole lot more palatable.

    The first advert for the Mag 7...they slipped in ''4 live''.(hence the thread)


    Adverts later on suggested all 7 live.

    Hope all 7 are shown

    Aye - yet it's still just a stacked sub-world level card. It's a bit of a watermark for PPV this.

    Yep, that was the rationale that I took when slating the decision to make it PPV. From the outset i have been shocked that this was offered as PPV material. But, showing seven fights (with fighters that I am interested in watching) in mostly decent match-ups, all live, changes things for me. We will only get two of these fights live if it is on Sky 1. I will pay £15 to see all 7 fights live - that is the selling point for me.

    I hope I heard right and they actually do show all 7 fights live, but the coverage starts at 6pm so I think that should be the case....

    I was always under the impression that all 7 fights were live. That's why they were starting at 6.

    You wouldn't get 2 of these fights on a normal fight night show on sky sports let alone 7 live.

    I reckon Sky will film 1 or 2 fights before the PPV starts...and if all 7 fights go the full 12 then we will likely miss some action.
