    I remmber that mate and the show to build that PPV with DLH-Sturm and Hopkins against someone was on SBO with no British interest and Vitali Klitschko vs. Corrie Sanders was SBO as well

    EDIT: Both DLH-Hopkins shows were PPV and in related trivia the soundtrack they used for the fight was 'Destiny Calling' by James ;)

    Something tells me DLH v Hopkins was on Setanta, but back in their early PPV days before they became a full time channel. Not 100% on that one though.

    It may well have been, it would have been several months after the Sturm and Allen fights, which were definitely on SBO ;). I can't remember watching the fight live though, so I can't be sure

    DLH-Hopkins was definitely Sky PPV. Barry McGuigan was a pundit saying that it was 'arguably the biggest fight ever in boxing', Paul Dempsey presented, Ian Darke commentary, the works!

    I'm gonna buy the fight anyway. As a Pac fan, I'm worried a little bit about the Margarito fight. This could prove dangerous for him, but to be honest, I think I'm more interested in Harrison/Haye than the Pac fight.
