    Why would Primetime have it and not Sky?

    I'm sure Sky will be more than happy and willing to cover it.

      I can't see Sky Sports letting a card like this slip away.Mind you,Sky did upset Golden Boy a little after what happened with Khan,so perhaps this is them sticking it to Sky/being loyal to Primetime.



      Considering how easy it is to access fights these days,PPV really isn't an issue anymore - unless you're adamant about watching a fight live.

          Allow that!

          I watched Primetime for the Froch v Dirrell fight and I have seen their previews...the picture quality is a joke!

              Either Sky Sports is ******ed, or GBP is pissed at them for the Khan situation.

                It was a fairly open public fall out Khan and GBP had with Sky over them pulling Khans fight last minute.
                Khan had tried to shaft us with a shonky undercard and Sky said no way is it PPV...GBP and Khan threw their toys out their pram and Schaffer pretty much threatened Sky with the GBP stable of fighters all heading to the jokers called Prime****e.

                I can't believe some folks thought those cowboys at Primetime would give a card like that away when they regularly try and sell ****ty cards.

                I hope Khan gets knocked out so him and GBP have no real options in the UK but to build him back up again and sky sports or channel 5 or even iTV

                Fcuk PPV tv unless it's a genuinely good card with quality control. I would have paid to watch the mayweather card but they are usually free on Sky, but no way will I give those chimps at Primetime any of my bread

                  Disaster if true. Price aside, the Primetime coverage of fights is just completely inferior to Sky, both technically and from a punditry standpoint.

                    If they had HD picture and had the HBO commentary it would be a bloody good step forward and might tempt me more then the poor service on offer

                      Primetime can **** right off. Sky do great coverage and they don't. I'll download it and watch in the morning.
