If the information is accurate it's almost like they're turning SKY Sports in a PPV service. Although £10.00 sounds steep, there would be a market for it. Last year when SKY had exclusive rights to Rangers Vs. Celtic the pubs where I live where packed with fans who didn't have SKY at home. If they had the option to watch the game at home for £10.00 it wouldn't surprise me to see 4 or 5 mates splitting the cost of everything and enjoying the game at home i.e. £10 PPV, some beers and snacks.
There is a suggestion that SKY are the favourites to show Ricky Hattons comeback fight at the end of November. If the event is shown on SKY Sports, and this £10.00 for 24 hours access to SKY Sports is in place, you might find this will be a massive success for SKY. It's cheaper than their usual PPV price of £15.00, and for the first time it'll be available to a massive audience by way of various devices that support Now TV including Youview.
