    Will Charlo vs Castano be picked up in the UK?

    Great competitive fight not interesting in watching this on a crappy stream.

    Sadly I doubt it. Boxing coverage in the UK has become a joke in recent years.

    Sky should pick it up, they have no other boxing content at the moment, but they won’t… F*** Adam Smith AKA Mr Bean as well. He’s largely at fault for the decline of Sky’s international boxing content.

        Doesn't Channel 5 get all the PBC SHO fights, or at least the marquee ones? ViacomCBS owns it along with SHO.

        Which, if any network aired Tank vs Barrios?

          No.

          The last PBC card on free to air tv in the uk was Pacquiao vs Thurman, after that ITV cancelled their 3 year PBC deal after eight months to focus on that new AEW.

          Channel 5 show a few Hennessey cards per year.

            I hope so but I wouldn't be surprised if nobody picked it up as the UK networks have passed on some good American fights already which was a real kick in the balls for us Boxing fans.

            I don't know if it's high prices and the late times that just puts them off but they didn't bother with Josh Taylor either and that's an insult as far as I'm concerned.

            Charlo v Castano is a very exciting match up and a big unification I wouldn't want to try find a crappy stream for it either.

              Got it, then I guess the Viacom connection means nothing lol.

              Get ready to pay for Fite TV PPV for this fight then!

                  I think Tank/Santa Cruz was the last PBC show on free tv, I should imagine Fite tv will pick the Charlo card up in a few days time

                    We need Boxnation to make a come back. They showed all the international fights and as a result it forced the other networks to up their game and buy international content as well.
