What do you reckon? I think Sky Sports will surely get involved in the following:

Pacquiao vs Clottey
Klitschko vs Chambers
Mosley vs Mayweather

They showed Pacquiao-Cotto and Mayweather-Marquez and were going to show Mosley-Berto plus they almost always show the Klitschko's fights as they know Klitschko vs Haye is gonna happen at some point and do big PPV numbers.

We might get the Hopkins-Jones fight included in the Haye-Ruiz PPV as Haye-Ruiz is being shown on the Hopkins-Jones HBO PPV in the states I think.

Yeah can see them including it in the PPV package. Kinda like how they packaged Pacquiao vs De La Hoya in with an Amir Khan fight against ***in.

This.

I really hope they start showing more fights like Williams vs Martinez. Really hope they start showing Gamboa and Juanma Lopez fights like Setanta started to do.

Sky should try sign deals with GBP and TR to get all their fights shown in the UK and have options of PPV's. They would make plenty of money off it and gain more customers. We lack to much Boxing in the UK.

Pavlik always seems to be on the tele in the UK when he fights. Wanna see the fight with Matinez and hopefully sky show it live.

I think Bradley vs Valero will defo be on Sky. Sky can make money out of it with Khan probaly fighting either of them this year or next.

It's the way Sky work, they will only show fights that will benefit them in the long run.

Fights like Pavlik vs Martinez need a place on British TV as you're either gonna see Pavlik slug his way to victory or Martinez put on a boxing master class, either way it's one hell of an entertaining fight.

Yeah now I actually have Sky Sports, i'm well up for them showing more boxing :) Although I did only subscribe at first for Cotto-Pacquiao & Mayweather-Marquez. Hope they announce Pacquiao-Clottey soon as that is only a month away now.

Yeah I can't see Sky Sports not showing it but I am sweating on it a bit. Fingers crossed it will happen because a Pacquiao fight, whether you like him or not, is always an event. Plus how can it not be with it being in the massive Dallas Cowboys stadium.

Agreed. If they fail to pick up this fight then we have no hope for fights we have mentioned. Only thing that concerns me is that it's gonna be an all Top Rank promoted card. Not 100% sure if Sky got a deal with Top Rank....know they have one with Golden Boy though.

iv just checked sky sports website, clicked the live on sky link and there is no mention of pac v clottey. they have a listing for march 12 for a couple domestic fights at the echo arena scouseland and a listing for the 19th. so im starting to wonder if they are gonna pick the fight up.
