There streaming the fights aren't they. Just watch on there for now untill they announce virgin details. They do seem like they've put this all together last minute. Hoping it isn't as bad as primetime. They need to prove themselves over the free period. Also according to the schedule on sky tomorrow nights show is 5.5 hours long which seems like the full undercard is getting a showing.

To get on there, they have to prove their worth.

Is Premier Sports available on Virgin yet, for example? Even if it is now, I know for a good while it wasn't and was told they'd been knocked back and had to come up with a stronger offering.

And for the general sports fan, Premier is a far better package than allegedly.
I understand that but surely FW should have sorted all this out before making an announcement and commiting to the fans that this will be on Virgin?
Of course. Basic stuff.
Yes, but to be fair, it's quite possible that Sky would then come back and say that if the channel is on Virgin, they will withdraw their interest, thus forcing someone's hand.

Sky play hardball. Of the two platforms, Sky have more money, and more subscribers, and a far bigger subscriber base for sports.
