Which UK channel will show Mayweather Pacquiao? POLL!
Which UK channel will show Mayweather Pacquiao? POLL!
This will surely be announced soon, so lets see how accurate the BoxRec universe is in predicting who the winning bidder will be!
I know there is already a thread on this, but without a poll, and I cant be bothered scrolling through every post to see what the BoxRec general consensus is!

Boxing News reckon Sky are favourites by a long way, so I'll go with them. What do I win if I'm right?

Sky will get it. They will then PPV it and I'll refuse to pay it.

Voted for BN more in hope than anything.
Re: Which UK channel will show Mayweather Pacquiao? POLL!
Sky will get it. They've already sent Smith and Johnny Nelson to press conference so I'm assuming they wouldn't have done that if they weren't confident of securing it. I'm eager to see what they're going to charge. No doubt some two bit Matchroom card will be part of the PPV package! 29.95 I'm guessing!

I went with BT Sports.
I figure they are looking to expand & might see this fight as a great opportunity to get some new subscribers. This fight will get loads of media attention & if every time mentioned the phrase "and exclusively on BT Sports" was used that would be great advertising for them.
There are rumours of them looking to expand into boxing & possibly acquiring allegedly so would be a great step. Really I just want a decent challenger to Sky Sports & give their recent efforts a kick up the arse.

That's the commentary ruined then, if Sky win it.
Re: Which UK channel will show Mayweather Pacquiao? POLL!
Sky sent Smith and Nelson out stateside almost as soon as the fight was announced. It's pretty obvious that they (Sky) were going to do whatever it takes to get this fight.

Voted BN as well out of hope. I do like Watt though despite others complaints.
