ok, this is a step in the right direction butlets hope they promote the event through the roof.

Billboards, adverts during peak shows, have Kevin, Ashley and Tyrone discussing the fight in the Rovers the day before its on.

Have a special build up broadcast that shows Malignaggi at his annoying best.

Come on ITV, if this is true then put your heart and souls into it instead of not promoting it then complaining about mediocre ratings.

Begs the question, will mitchell vs katsidis be SBO? I don't think it can be without Khan.

In saying that, I would probably buy it if it was, but it would set a worrying trend if it was.

I have to agree, people like Mitchell and Barker are undoubtably popular but not enough to be in must see boxing events.

When did Sky confirm that they were showing the Mitchell fight at all, let alone SBO ?

LOL you fools believe this just because 'my mate in the know told me so'?

How many times over the years has an obscure poster assured us a fight would be on terrestrial TV because 'someone who definitely knows sez so'

Pure trollocks.

Hey I coined that just now, it's mine. I can see it catching on. Trollocks (c). Hell yeah.

That may be the case for many a thread. No trollocks here i'm afraid.

And Jesus can send me some of his urine to drink if i'm wrong

I'm going but I really hope this is true. Would be great for UK viewers and a massive sign of a revival. :TU:

I wouldn't be so sure that it's on sky box office. That link is only to skybet, and they had the Box Office logo up for Pacquiao-Clottey, which caused some confusion on here a few weeks ago. Sky haven't had any adverts on TV about Khan-Malignaggi being on ppv, which would be strange, given how much they build up their ppv fights. There's also no mention of it on the sky website.

And finally, whilst not claiming to be 'in the know' myself, Alan Hubbard of the Independent on Sunday claimed in one of his columns a couple of weeks ago that Golden Boy were offering ITV the fight for nothing. Make of that what you will.

x2. Don't take skybet as a given people. Skytext is much more up-to-date and usually right, often telling you FFN main events before the BBBoC tell you what title fights are happening in their monthly update thing..

If skytext say it isn't live-then it isn't. Yet.
