Thread: Super 6 - UK TV

Anyone heard who will be showing these fights?

Sky never mentioned it on Sky Sports News so it doesn't look like them.

Sky have us by the balls.

Apparently Hennessy is holding a press conference on Wednesday to announce the UK TV Contract... can't see anything on the net mind.

Not to sure mate last I heard he turned down a 100k offer from Itv, I hope it is on tv looks like its a straight fight between ITV and sky. Soon find out from what you say.

Didn't somebody mention this was going the same way as Froch's last fight, a PPV stream?

Word is it's on a new PPV channel. £15 for each card!!!

This takes the piss.

If Sky with all their marketing power can only get 30,000 buys for Khan how many do you think this Prime Time Channel can get with none, or next to none.

Way to build up a following Mick.

You know, marketing really helps, but on a genuine note, people will buy in to honest, good products, and you haver to build customer trust, 30,000 buys for a product that doesn't match the previously mentioned critera aint bad.....

I'm so excited by these Super Six fights but you know what, i think the marketing has been poor as. Haven't seen anything. Not an advert in a bus stop, on the side of a bus, on a billboard, on TV anywhere in magazines, nothing. Not even in something like the Shortlist magazine, which is a free magazine given out in certain cities. Come on. Surely they are always after articles. Its supposed to be magazine for males for god sake (not that only men are into boxing), surely that would have been a good little place for promotion to start. If Hennessy is readin this I would love to help out on the promotion side of things, I'd put my money on it I could help.....

So many little things like this are just adding up to the fact that boxing is slowly dissapearing from television. Don't know about anyone else but it bothers me....

Anyone think Hennessy has just set up his own TV Station?

On the other side of the coin though, throwing in Arthur Abraham v Jermain Taylor on the same PPV does make for a livelier proposition than just the UK undercard for the Froch fight....

Dont think sky are gonna take this on, espn certainly aint so that just leaves the fight going to freeview with itv??

Fuck it, I'd pay £15 a pop to get the cards. These fights are all PPV worthy for me. I reckon the Kessler one will be cheaper without Froch as well.

I MISS SETANTA SPORTS!!!!!!!!

It will be on Euro sport 6 months later.
