I hope Boxnation get it, they show all the big fights from the U.S, Sky are just trying to muscle in like money hungry greedy bastards.

Sky will get it. They have the financial muscle to blow BoxNation out of the water. The only company who can compete is BT.

Sky doesn't bother bidding on most fights, but will when it comes to something of this magnitude.

I'm still hoping that BT will bid for it, i get BT Sports free with their infinity package.

If Sky get it, they will put it on PPV.

I hope Sky gets it. If we have to pay $100, you guys should at least have to pay $15-20.

People won't pay PPV to watch two non-british fighters at 4 in the morning, even if it is Floyd & Manny.

I think they would

This fight is at least as talked about as, say, Froch vs Groves.

Maybe a slapdash british card in the evening would help things along, but i dont see them doing anything special due to cost and time constraints.

Edit: I say this because my friends are the ultimate casuals, they only know a few names and tune in for the biggest fights only (expecting blood n guts everytime) and they are hyped for this fight and would defo pay 15 squids for it, split between a few us most likely

"He joost carrunt take Mayweathers poonncheesse!"

Yes they will. I'd be surprised if BoxNation didn't make it PPV as well.
