Fite TV Picks up the Undisputed Showdown Between Josh Taylor and Jose Ramirez in the UK

Chisora wasn't on it because peter parker got bit by a spider. So that’s the time those two were meant to fight. Gotcha thanks

Wasn’t that the card that Chisora was claiming to be the main event fighter? Chisora wasn't on it because peter parker got bit by a spider.

Taylor vs Prograis did terrible numbers on Sky box office. It did around 120k ppv buys, pre-pandemic. Such a shame because it was a great fight and the atmosphere in the arena on the night was brilliant too. Wasn’t that the card that Chisora was claiming to be the main event fighter?

I think it’s because they like to send their own commentary teams for these fights but it’s been difficult for British media to get visas. Most of us would rather have the US commentary anyway. :lol1:

I think it’s because they like to send their own commentary teams for these fights but it’s been difficult for British media to get visas. But I mean BT Sports picked up Lopez/Lomachenko didn't they? How about Brook vs Crawford? Spence vs DSG? Canelo vs Smith?

I’ll buy this. Disappointed in BT and Sky though, a British fighter is fighting for the undisputed title and both are too cheap to broadcast it. I think it’s because they like to send their own commentary teams for these fights but it’s been difficult for British media to get visas.

Great fight this, a big night for British boxing. Such a shame the likes of BT and SKY passed on it.

Well I suppose its being shown in the UK but somehow I feel if one of the big 2 isn't going to pick up one of the UK's best fighters in an undisputed fight its a bit of an insult to that fighter. Can't deny I'm not a bit disappointed in SKY and BT. That’s the thing. Imagine Kell Brook getting upset because Sky didn’t pick up his fight with Crawford. How do you think Taylor would feel? Undisputed fight at 140. Can’t even pay for a legit fight like this. He would have done it before Fury or AJ if he beats Ramirez…. quite disgusting

I know but I was expecting BT to pick it up. I don’t have sky, I subs to BT for stuffs like this. And the fact that they have some sort of relationship with Arum made me feel like they would pick it up. I mean Taylor is a Scot too… Honestly, I thought Taylor was signed to Warren as well. But yeah, for sure BT Sports should have picked this fight. It's just a fantastic match up and Taylor is gunning to be the first UK fighter to become undisputed in the four belt era. Oh well, sucks it will be on PPV but still well worth it!

Even SKY should have been able to bid for the fight. We have seen them pick up fights even when they don't have Matchroom fighters fighting. I know but I was expecting BT to pick it up.

This is soooo disappointing. I thought with Top rank involvement with BT sports, we would get them doing this fight. I mean this is why I pay for BT sport via EE. Even SKY should have been able to bid for the fight. We have seen them pick up fights even when they don't have Matchroom fighters fighting.

They literally only ever announce stuff the week before, so not sure what’s coming up. :lol1: They did show Smith-Vlasov and Ruiz-Arreola last month so hopefully they continue to show the PBC and TR stuff going forward. Boxnation was great a few years back, used to have the majority of the GBP, PBC and TR shows, along with European cards in Germany, Russia etc and then all the Warren cards in the UK. Then Warren got the the BT deal and it all went to sh**. I assume they lost whatever financial banking they were getting from Frank and his partners. I’m surprised the channel still exists tbh :lol1: Got it, so still a chance you guys get the Inoue, Lomachenko, PBC cards etc.

In fairness Sky couldn't have picked it up after that amazing ppv last week. :lol1:

Are any of the upcoming PBC and TR shows not picked up by at least Boxnation? If not, that sucks.

Bt sports boxing content is pathetic these days, i would cancel if it wasn't for ufc cards. I only have it for UFC

Yeah he has no official affiliation to Warren, at least to my knowledge, he’s promoted by TR but managed by MTK. BT and Sky never show American boxing nowadays, I was hoping Boxnation might pick it up as I get that as part of my BT Sports package, but I don’t mind paying £12 or however much it is for a fight of this quality, just glad I haven’t got to stream it.

So is Taylor purely linked to TR and not Warren? I don't get this either. Yeah he has no official affiliation to Warren, at least to my knowledge, he’s promoted by TR but managed by MTK.
