      Biased Commentators
      Biggest Twat **** named Jim Watts
      Commercials during inbetween fights/rounds in a "PPV" on a Digital channel that you pay like 40squid a month for + ppv fee? lol wtf?
      ****** Frank Warren controlled cards that ******
      Biased Twat commentators like Jim Watts
      Horrible production value

      If I actually lived in uk and had to pay license fee + Sky + Sky Sports + This shady PPV.

      and STILL get commercials during the fight AND fighters and fights are complete scrubs?

      Is it any wonder, that Murdoch killed UK boxing by being greedy? Imagine you buying a $50 PPV for Pacq-JMM and theres commercials between the rounds and between fights and all of the commentators biased for American fighter screaming on top of their lungs with the dumbest score cards you will ever see in your life.

      ^ Thats what Sky Boxing is all about, shady ass Murdoch, hopefully someone sticks a exhaust pipe up his ass and its connected to a jet plane.

        Mayweather and Pacquiao fights will be shown on Sky as they have done in the past, unless they fight a well known British fighter.


        Sky use to take the biscuit with their PPV shows, you used to pay your money and you would still have the adverts every 3 minutes.
        If Mayweather's fight is on Primetime, it'll be PPV, as all Primetime fights are. Andre Ward is less of a draw here than Floyd and Primetime charged for his fight before.

          Wow, great news.

          I have always hated having to pay for **** cards because they're UK fighters.

            I imagine Floyd will still be on Sky Sports for free as usual.
