Sky Sports is showing Mayweather vs Marquez for free. What has happened to them. You usually only get crap fights that no one cares about unless its pay per view.
Will Sky Sports be getting more interesting fights from around the world or is this just a random occurrence.
bloody hell i might have to subscribe
Why is it as soon as you get rid of SKY they start doing shit like this? Grrrrrrrrrr
I'm not too suprised. Before Hatton became massive box office, they used to show pretty decent fights for free. Hopkins vs Winky Wright and Mayweather vs DLH were on Sky Sports, as I recall.
I had planned to subscribe to watch this fight and the Haye and Manny Pac fights as well. They are thieving gits but with no setanta they have us by the short and curlys. :)

Said to the misses the other day that I was not going to shell out 15 quid for the Mayweather fight but out of the blue we get it for free on sky sports1.
Booked the night off work to stay up and watch it.
RESULT!;D

The last fight sky showed as box office that wasn't headlined by a british fighter was De la hoya vs hopkins wasn't it?
I think it was De la Hoya vs Pacquiao last yearQuote:

They were originally going to PPV it as Matthew Hatton was on the undercard fighting Zab and they probably expected some Hatton fans to shell out. Now Hatton isn't fighting and the fight itself isn't making any waves they've bowed to reality and are showing it free (according to the thread starter anyway, has anybody got a linky?) I always thought it was a bit ambitious trying to get people to pay for it in the first place.
Yes it was free (although subscribing to Sky for £30ish a month is not entirely free).Quote:

I had been wondering what channel this would be on if any. Having a few friends back that night as well so guess we can all stay up and watch it.
Although I doubt they will share my enthusiasm
:confused:
yeah that always happens with my mates, i am runnig around going crazy while they are fallin a sleep as soon as fight starts, i remember watching a de la hoya fight live at me mates house & he said lets go out for a smoke & puased the sky box when we got back it had crashed & i had missed rds 6-12 arrrrrrrrggggggggggggh!Quote:
