"Box-Nation join forces with BT to show 20 major British fights a year as Fwank Warren calls it 'the biggest TV deal in boxing history'"

"Warren says: ‘I believe this is the biggest TV deal in British boxing history. It is very much larger than my previous record setting deal with ITV. It will bring a lot more boxing within reach of BT’s millions of customers through all their outlets. This will put British boxing in front of a much wider television audience, which is tremendous for the sport.

"Box-Nation and BT will share 20 simultaneous live broadcasts each year, with the multi-year deal starting in January."

"The deal also includes an exclusive arrangement with leading US promoters Top Rank and Golden Boy to screen major fights on the other side of the Atlantic."

Yeah I thought it was the way you thought. Would seem a bit strange if BT sports let allegedly (not BT sports subscribers) view their channel/s for nothing.

The other way round seems more logical as that way they gain more subscribers (in theory atleast) if allegedly subscribers, subscribe to their channels to watch allegedly. Could be wrong though.
