    WBSS starting soon and no word on it being televised

    Not a word? I would like to at least watch the cruiserweight tournament...

    Damn forgot about this with the Conor vs Floyd insanity. This isn't a good sign they are less than 2 weeks before the tournament starts & no idea if this will be on TV or not.

      I heard they're not selling individual fights. You have to buy the whole tournament. Not a lot of Americans in the tournament so it probably won't find a home here.

        Do they even have all the fights scheduled? I haven't seen anything about Brant/Braehmer or Gassiev/Wlodarczyk

            Nice, I was starting to think it wouldn't find a home here either. I guess they waited for the price to drop a bit

              Yeah boxing have a way of letting things kinda Fizzle Out and then Fight Week trying to rush and remind fans to "Don't Forget About Our Fight!"

              I'm excited for it but don't expect this to be a big Ticket or Ratings Draw though at least not here in the States so they should probably focus more on that UK Market with Sky Sports!

                  Eubank Jr could have been doing a promo for Mayweather/McGregor seeing as hes been in the gym with Mayweather. Hearn has repeatedly said Sky isn't showing it and theres already Matchroom cards on a few of the dates.

                    They will get a deal at some point. Most likely are asking for too much money. The networks will just wait and assume the price will go down closer to kick off
