Is it true that Mitchell v Murray is now Sky PPV? Someone posted on esb that on the back page of this week's boxing news it is advertised as a Sky PPV event, I havent seen this week's BN, can anyone confirm this?

Must be true if on ESB some of the threads recently have been awful. The poster says box office as in call the box office for tickets but there no sky sports logo on poster that from Warren website.

This will not be on SBO. Its about 2.5 weeks away, comes a week after Haye v Wlad and there has been no marketing of it as a Box Office fight. This will be on normal sky with a stinky undercard.

On the point of 2 PPV's in a short space of time, Team Khan may want to reflect that one of the reasons Sky weren't keen on putting the Judah fight on Box Office was that it comes only 3 weeks after the Haye fight. If Khan-Judah was in September, for example, there could have been a greater appetite for PPV, but surely not so soon on the back of the Haye fight?

Yeah, this is exactly my take on it. I would be shocked if Murray-Mitchell was getting put on SBO.

Are you referring to the fight poster only or does it just say 'box office for tickets' on the BN ad - that would explain the confusion - i.e. it is not on SBO but call box office to buy tickets.
