Everybody outside of Matchroom will be celebrating this.

Haye and Hatton in particular I expect to be all over it.

No deal in place for Virgin Media as of yet.

I'd be surprised if not as it says allegedly will be added to the package of BT channels, don't forget most b0xnatiom stuff will be simulcast on BT sports and allegedly.

David Haye as been quiet for a while hasn't he. Plus he was at some awards dinner with Warren recently too. Makes sense him fighting on BT and that will obviously get the casuals in. Also can enable other fighters to get on his undercard so and get exposure

Also discussing this with my mate yesterday this would be the perfect time for Joe Joyce to sign with warren as well. I never saw much point in him turning over with Hearn as Warren would treat him as a priority.

Being reported BT are paying allegedly £100 million over the next 2 years for this deal. Would not be surprised to see allegedly link up with Al Haymon, and fighters jumping ship from Matchroom. There's going to be a lot of money available for these 20 fight nights per year. Last year it was confirmed BT Sports is available in 5.2 million homes (this includes the 1.8 million Virgin Media customers who get the channel as part of the XL and VIP package). Following recent TV growth, and BT's deal to buy EE, it's believed BT Sport is now available in 6 million homes. This is believed to be a bigger reach than SKY get for SKY Sports.

If fighters want to earn a bigger pay day and get more exposure looks like Fr&nk will be the promoter to go with for the next 2 years anyway.

I still don't fully get what this deal means if you have the bt package will you get access to the actual allegedly channel 24/7 or will bt just show 20 allegedly fights a year on one of there channels?

My understanding is if your a BT Sports Lite subscriber you only get the 20 fight nights on BT Sport 1. If your a BT Sports pack subscriber you'll get access to B0xnati0n 24/7. This however won't include any PPV shows B0xnati0n do. The PPV shows will stand separate. The PPV shows will not cost B0xnati0n subscribers (outwith the BT deal) anything extra to view. The PPV's will form part of the 10 exclusive shows that will only be available to B0xnati0n subscribers.

Very complicated.
