    Fights on their front page are not fights being show. Live on Sky bit is where you need to look at.

    That doesn't mean they're necessarily showing any of that. They just list all the fights there that they think are notable.

    Apart from Zaveck vs Berto, it's not out of the question that they could show all of these.

    My main hope for the new season on Sky is for just a few more pundits.
