1) Does the TV company buy the rights to a fight, or to a round of fights, or to the tournament?

2) Has the second round of matches been drawn yet, or do we wait till the first round is over?

3) Is there a contingency if someone drops out of the tournament?

Only guessing but:-

1) not sure, i suppose it's down to whatever promoter in that part of world does. Be daft to sell each fight indivually as you could end up with 3 fights on 3 channels i suppose.

2) I think they are agreed in principal. Froch has Dirrell, Kessler, Abraham in that order.

3) Maybe or they just drop out the running.

Froch has Kessler and Abraham in his next two... damn

1) Yes
2) Depends on the deal. King's did before it fell through.

Look I don't want to be pedantic, but that's only 3 questions...?

Super Six Questions is about the tournament not the amount of questions - as you well know!

So if a TV deal is for the tournament, then thats all the fights, every one of them... so who owns the TV rights now? or the right to sell? King?

and I wouldn't class them as being Super questions either

what happens with the belts ? are they on the line ? if so what about the Mandatorys that arent in the tourney ?

In that instance Showtime didn't own it as King owned the rights, but in this one I though it was Ken Hershamann's idea (at least he claims it is) so Showtime owned the rights.

But that's a guess.

any news any news??

someone from here must be at the press conference surely. :)
