Harrison-Williams on U.S. PPV!
Fortunately for American fight fans, the long awaited clash between 2000 Olympic Champion Audley Harrison and Former British Champion Danny Williams at the ExCel London in London, England on December 10th will be broadcast live in the United States on Pay Per View ($19.95) at 3:00pm EST. In what will be the biggest all-British heavyweight bout in over a decade, both fighters are desperate to win what is certain to turn into an all-out war. The event is being promoted by Sports Network, and the broadcast will be available on Pay Per View via cable systems from TVN and from satellite providers DirecTV & Dish Network. The broadcast is being distributed in the USA by Integrated Sports. Exciting televised undercard bouts will include the US televised debut of British Olympian Amir Khan.

At least we don't have to pay to watch it at home

Bit unfair, really: This year we've seen Hopkins-Taylor, Wright-Trinidad, and a few others for free over here. And in return, we give them this on PPV.

Sorry, but at CVS they sell cheaper home-made sleeping pills.

Depending on what is part of the PPV telecast, I may actually buy it. I was somewhat hoping it would be available over here when Skelton-McBride was the headliner. WIth all the changes to the card, though, I guess we'll see if it's "buyable".

Who the fornicate would buy that on PPV? Ridiculous.

Surely all the fans Harrison's won over since he moved his circus to the US...

PPV at the best of times is something I struggle to agree with - this event costing 12 quid mid-afternoon is inexplicable.

"Next on PPV, 15 flies drawn to a dog turd only $9.99."

I can't see this making any money.

That won't make much but hahaha it's funny. Is it Showtime since Warren deals with them?

No it says Intergrated Sports. Showtime wouldn't put it on their normal boxing schedule never mind PPV!

Hate the way Hatton and Maussa is PPV too! :x

Wouldn't Showtime be screening it for free though anyway? On Danny's site they had an article saying the one with Skelton would of been if it happened.

Don't the TV companies buy the rights and then decide whether it will be PPV or not? Anne Wolfe V The Man is PPV as well apparently
