Nothing confirmed yet but allegedly will be favourite. I have heard that allegedly HD will launch in September, with the Mayweather fight being used to push uptake of the HD channel. Mayweather Vs. Canelo could be allegedly first HD broadcast!

Jeff Powell is a clown. Suggesting that Floyd v Canelo will be for both the welterweight and light middle titles is idiotic beyond belief.

Eddie Hearn tweeted earlier today that as well as Sky showing Dawson v Stevenson this weekend, Ringside on Thursday will reveal "another major international fight coming to @skysports soon" so who knows could be floyd vs canelo!?

I would pay extra for this fight, but if it is on SKY then it should be as part of the package.
allegedly going HD should not be another charge, but I suppose SKY charge the extra.

I think it'll be either Gennady Golovkin Vs. Matthew Macklin or Danny Geale Vs. Darren Barker.

I think allegedly HD will cost extra per month. BT Sports will cost £12.00 per month or £15.00 if you want BT Sports in HD. I can see allegedly being £12 to £13 per month if you want the HD version of the channel.

I just took it for granted as a Matchroom fighter Barker would be televised on Sky anyway. Golovkin fight is a possibility but I reckon this may well be sky getting the Floyd fight.

Sky can't show it as there is a round table Adam Smith and Johnny Nelson chat scheduled for the same night ( guests will include Jim Watt & Glen McCrory ) followed by a fan favorite Kell Brook training camp documentary catch up.

I disagree, I don't think box n a t i o n will charge a penny more !

An extra £2/3.00 is ok, better than SKY with their £10.00 extra crap.

And maybe a Bellew goes shopping at ASDA for his weekly shop followed by 'Froch does Chip Shop'

Jeff Powell needs to up his game;
"Even though the match has been at catch-weight 152lbs – Mayweather bulking up and Alvarez trimming down – both their WBC world titles, Floyd Jnr’s at welterweight and Canelo’s at light-middleweight, will be on the line."
How at 152 can a welterweight title be on the line?

Possibly become vacant if Floyd loses ?
Your guess is as good as mine

I'm not at home at the moment so missed Ringside. Did they confirm what the major fight would be?

What about a return to the old days with a dual PPV? Haye-Fury followed by Mayweather-Canelo? Would do huge numbers and nobody could complain.
