23rd November 2013 - allegedly Vs. SKY Box Office

[chad]

allegedly confirmed earlier today that they have the rights to show Pacman Vs. Rios on the 23rd November. Later on the same day SKY will be showing Froch Vs. Groves on SKY Box Office.

If you could only afford one event what would you go for?

Froch Vs. Groves is £14.99. If you are a SKY customer you can watch the fight in HD. Virgin Media customers can watch the fight for £14.99 too but not in HD, as they don't have access to SKY Sports Box Office HD.

Pacman Vs. Rios is £10.00 plus £10.00 registration fee. Virgin Media customers don't have to pay the registration fee so it's a straight £10.00. For your money however you get a full months viewing which includes:

23rd November - Pacman Vs. Rios
23rd November - Hernandez Vs. Alekseev (To be confirmed this week)
30th November - Chisora Vs. Matteo Modungo
07th December - Smith Vs. Blackledge
07th December - Alexander Vs. Porter (To be confirmed this week)
14th December - Braehmar Vs. Oliviera
14th December - Broner Vs. Maidana (To be confirmed this week)
21st December - Hall Vs. Malinga

It's not really a contest, BN for me.

allegedly is very good value for money.. I will probably pay for Froch v Groves but it will be grudgingly. I have allegedly on my TV and on my phone so I pay £20 a month. I got a cracking deal with Sky so have the full package for £42 including phone and Broadband. I would still say allegedly is a better deal. Just look at that month of boxing above!! That's worth £10/£20 just for pacman v rios.. People slate allegedly but they have more fights and better fights than Sky we should all be getting behind it and I'm sure boxing will grow in this country. Eddie is doing a good job too but he is trying to create a monopoly now that's good short term but will damage boxing long term..

21st December - Hall Vs. Malinga

Yeah, when you put it like that of course BN is better value for money. Although that Hall fight won't count as it will span 2 months. BUT if you break it down and consider the fights individually it isn't that great:

November 23rd - more people will either buy Froch-Groves, watch it via other means online, go to a pub/ mates than watch that Hernandez fight, it's the same with the Abraham card the other day - when it competes with a good British card, nobody really cares about it. The November 30th card is underwhelming (assuming BJS doesn't get a top opponent). The vast majority will be watching Barker-Sturm on regular Sky over the poor Liverpool card. 90% of boxing fans with Sky and BN will be watching 'Season's Beatings' over Braehmer. Hopefully you are right about them securing the GB 7th and 14th cards as they are both excellent shows.

It doesn't look like there will be any boxing on BN for 3 weeks though, which isn't great considering there is 2 decent US cards available.

[Paullow]

P.S. you say 'later on the same day...' well actually Pac-Rios is later on the same day as it is on prime US time so will be on live at 2am/3am in the UK.

[Paullow]

Froch Vs Groves should not be PPV.

Definitely, especially as the undercard is looking like it is going to be pretty poor

The question is value for money, £15 buys Froch-Groves, £20 brings in everything above, including Hall-Malinga, 23rd November-21st December is 28 days. The Liverpool show has Ormond-Mathews which has the potential to be a cracker, Selkirk-Heffron, Paul Butler, Paul and Liam Smith, hardly poor I'd say. The question is which one would you pay for, if you go for allegedly there is no Froch-Groves so Hernandez is an option and what boxing fan would watch a shitty Christmas film over boxing?

I just want to check that Delboy is definitely facing the Matteo Modungo and not some crap guy who just happens to have the same name - like ten years ago when there was a john lennox lewis boxing at the same time as lennox lewis. For me Delboy vs Modungo swings it the way of B o x N a t i o n; the promoter promised a big name and by god he's delivered

Yep I did say BN was better value for money, but I don't think you will get that Hall card though especially if you 'order in advance to avoid disappointment' as we are often told to do before a big show, so if you got in on the Friday before hand you wouldn't get Hall, and those not buying Groves are still more likely to find a way to watch that fight, so that narrows Hernandez' potential views and appeal. I'm not sure what this shitty xmas film you refer to is about either? I'll certainly be tuning into the Barker fight over the Ormond one tbh.

I suppose if you did order on Nov 22nd you would get Hall, I thought it was 4 weeks, but it is a month so you are right

The Friday would be 29 days, I don't think even Warren would attempt to claim that's a month. The shitty xmas film is seasons beatings like you mentioned and I'll be in the minority watching the Liverpool show over the Barker fight.

Realised my mistake two posts above mate. 'Season's Beatings' was the name of the Matchroom show on the 14th featuring Purdy in his EBU title match and also Kevin Mitchell, although I now see they have renamed it

[gasman]

I got allegedly back in last month and loving it. I am sick of the pundits on Sky and also the ridiculous hyping of the Campbell and Joshua and their headlining shows in the first few fights. Its crap. Hearn hasnt delivered enough good fights, it is all about hyping names.

[TheCobra]

Will be going to Froch vs Groves, so don't have to worry about getting it on Sky. I think I'd probably find a pub that was showing it if not.

Just be careful with your new channel mate, you can get over exposed to Bradley Skeete fights, it can put you right off

[DMA1987]

Are you certain that the Alexander and Broner fights won't be on Sky? Broner especially seeing as Eddie will be building it for the Kell fight.

[jackukmma]

Alexander and/or Broner fights will be on sky. I reckon sky will get both of them with Brook looking likely to face one of them next

[Final round]

allegedly is the proper deal.
Froch/Groves could well be a firecracker or a damp squib where George gets put out quick.
I'm still gonna cough up though argh!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ap76BNb ... 45eHFGAduw

flick to 5 minutes in this video mate - looks very likely allegedly will be getting both GB shows in December

[expe]

allegedly have just added the Andre Ward vs Edwin Rodriguez fight, I'd expect to pick up Martinez-Garcia a week before that if they haven't already and Rabchenko is fighting in Bulgaria on the same night as Ward, Hatton's co-promoting with Philippe Fondu so I would expect that show to be on allegedly as well.

[thatllbeme]

sky are announcing an international show tomorrow and as brian rose faces the winner of Andrade v martirosyan next I think it will be that show!

[rossij8]

Froch Vs Groves should not be PPV.

I agree

I think Sky have realised that (not that they really care) and uppped their game with other shows

Chad you know if they are still show Golden Boy on Fox on delay? Wasn't there a fight a couple of days ago?
