You can get it at home according to this:

https://corporate.sky.com/media-centre/ ... _agreement

"The agreement additionally includes new rights for TalkTalk to offer Sky Sports Box Office, which lets customers watch major live boxing and wrestling events on a pay-per-view basis. This will give TalkTalk TV customers yet another flexible way to access Sky Sports content."

I agree completely. The fight does next to nothing for me. Never been a fan of the lower weight divisions and with these two well past their best, it's not something I'd pull an all nighter for.

Really, you've never been a fan of the lighter divisions? I'm surprised, I honestly think the better fighters are always found in the lighter weight divisions.

If SKY are realistic about PPV cost and there's a decent undercard, I'll try and stay up. If they try for 50 quid, I'm out.

I'd go to £20 for this and that's about it. I'm not being bent over a barrell for a fight that's on at 5am.

This event could easily generate a buzz in this country that will get people talking about it and buying it. It could also be killed easily by Sky overpricing it

Apart from the Jeff Powell link I can't see this info anywhere else on the internet. A lot of places hinting that Sky are more likely but still nothing appears to be confirmed yet.

You'd have to think that if it was a done deal then SKY would be shouting it from the rooftops

That's a relief. That's a reasonable price for a massive fight.

They should offer a discount for the clowns that paid for Clev-Bellew :-)

I don't have Sky; i assume you can't buy on demand through BT?

Will there be a possibility to buy an online PPV one off?

I think 20 quid is quite reasonable to be fair. Less than what I was expecting. Hopefully there is a decent adjoining British card beforehand.

£25 was always going to be the absolute maximum price, £20 is reasonable imo.

For those who were predicting £50 - :doh:

I know, Sky haven't gave a hoot about either guy for years,allegedly has been providing the fans for years only for this mob to come in and reap the rewards

No doubt whoever wins,their next fight will be back on allegedly

It's not just to do with boxing, they do it for everything, if the fight was on allegedly it wouldn't get a mention, hope no fornicator buys it and they end up massively out of pocket.

We/I give Sky a lot of stick about PPV's and their price but £20 for Mayweather-Pacquaio is reasonable.

I cant argue with that at all as long as there is an okay British card before the fight.

A lot of people on here are saying £20 is suddenly a reasonable price for the PPV.

I put that down to the fact that a lot of idiots were saying it would be £50 which was ridiculous. But now they have a big card to justify the PPV price increase you watch it stay at £20 for shows in future.

Will you still think £20 is a reasonable price to pay for the next Hearn rip-off?
