He's lost money as a result so I guess it was a principled decision on his part.
I think the terrestial companies in the UK are shit for boxing generally repeatedly snubbing fighters, most notable Carl Froch.
The best scenario would be if the Primetime card does better than expected and they start to establish themselves as a genuine alternative.
Fuck Sky and their costly subscription services. Anything that would break the stranglehold of Rupert Murdoch's empire would be very welcome.
