This deal also suggests that Primetime Live have no future. I think this will be a positive deal for BoxNation. Last year Primetime Live were charging £14.99 for Mayweather Vs. Ortiz. For £10.00 fans will get to see the fight plus have access to BoxNation for the reast of the month without any long term commitment, well at least on Virgin anyway.
Well done BoxNation  |
It's not the show is a co promotion between Golden Boy and Mayweather Promotions which probably explains why it's not part of the deal, but I'm so shocked at this as I thought the Sky deal would have put them in the driving seat for this card, I'm guessing Boxnation went big as initial Sky subscribers 6 months will be up at the exact time of this fight and this is about as good a incentive as it gets to not cancel.
I actually wouldn't be surprised now to see Paquiao Bradley end up on Boxnation too as they seem to have a good relationship with Top Rank, of course unless Sky swoop in with a similar deal that they signed with GBP.
