    I think some of the WBSS cards on Sky only showed the main fight.

    I know in the UK, Channel 5 sometimes only showed the main fight, which was usually Hughie Fury.
    Glad you brought up the UK events! I think I remember HBO only airing Brook/GGG on the telecast, and the same may have been done for AJ/Klitzschko on HBO and SHowtime.

    I'm also starting to remember....wasn't Spence/Brook a one-fight card on the Showtime telecast?

      One way , if the rerun fight they would be showing was a good fight , then I’m guessing it would keep someone watching the live broadcast fight and giving it probably a little kick in the azz viewer wise
      Didn’t enjoy those one fights without the lead in
      Kind of like getting laid without foreplay lol


      Man, I can't do this today! Lol

        Yes, that card was amazing! Golden Boy used to put some great cards together before the Haymon business dealings ended!

        Khan controlled the pace but almost got stopped....I remember yelling at the TV and Lamont also put up a great fight against the mental midget Ortiz. Lol
