I see Sky will be showing the Klitchko Sultan fight, strange as I thought seconds out were showing the fights exclusive. I seem to remember a post stating you wouldnt see Wlad fight anywhere other than on Seconds out!!

Just want to clear something up. SecondsOut is the ONLY place to see Klitschko's next 3 bouts. If Sky (or whoever) want to screen it (on delay etc) they will have to pay a fee to SecondsOut and, quite honestly, SecondsOut won't be selling the rights on having only just got them.

Yes, this would have been the third of the three. Maybe SO did an about-face because people could end up seeing the same fights for free on YouTube with only a slight delay. Not what I did, by the way, as you can't avoid the results if you go to YouTube, but I suspect the buy rate for Klitschko's fights would have been low for this reason.

You sure mate? I've heard they've bid for it but didn't think it was agreed yet?
It's on boxscene, but as of last week SKY weren't sure if they'd get it.

SKY have got it, Emerson. They announced it during last Friday's bill. It's up on their website as well.

Thanks. Have they advertised any of US fights?
