Comments Thread For: World Boxing Super Series Inks Pact With Sky Sports, Matchroom

This is great news! ITV ****** with their coverage of it and even put Usyk/Gassiev as a PPV to a UK market without a UK fighter! Great for Taylor to be on Sky Sports too, Channel 5 coverage was okay but their advertising ****** and you would forget about fights being shown on the channel. Sky sports will promote these cards very well and I doubt any will be on PPV.

So in Britain they don’t have to have an app to see it?

do you use netflix or is it also going over your head? Complaning in 2019 about using an app is just ludicrous lol.

Good news! They needed a good platform.

Great for boxing. Matchroom and Sky have shown dedication to continue this tournament and branding since its original foundation was having constant funding problems to begin with.

Well effectively you may have too..

If like me you only want to watch boxing, Sky advised that ALL boxing would be on the Action and Arena channels - but they've started to schedule fights on the Main Event channel now (not part of my overly expensive package) - starting with the SSR Estrada bout this weekend, meaning I've got to take out another package just to watch 1 fight..

Rip off sky!

To further this, I've just spoken to Sky and the Main events channel is only available to customers who have the complete Sky Sports package - i.e. every channel

Cancelled contract, I'd rather stream it at a lower quality than pay for all the crap that I wouldn't watch.

It's good that this tournament will get the exposure it deserves. If deals like this one will encourage a 3rd season then that's great.

A bit of a kick in the teeth though for people without SKY who could previous watch the fights on a live Youtube stream.

I just get the whole sky sports, always ring up and “cancel” so I get the whole lot and broadband for about £40 a month. Still a reasonable amount but saves money.

I watch boxing and f1 regularl really and otherwise just the odd football match etc so maybe your right and I could look to go specific channels but not convinced it makes much difference.

About bloody time as well. Great news. Now I can add the fights if they're any good to my collection.
