Funny how networks can find a way to work together when there is big bucks at stake

Jeff Powell has suggested in the Daily Mail today Boxnation may charge subscribers £12.00 extra on top of their usual subscription fee to watch Mayweather Vs. Pacman, if they win the rights.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/box...dding-war.html

"Frank Warren’s dedicated BoxNation channel is believed to be considering adding a comparatively modest one-off pay-per-view supplement to its £12-a-month subscription rates for this event of such magnitude."

I would not be happy with this at all, especially as Boxnation clearly state on their website:

"It's available to all HD enabled B0xNati0n subscribers on the Sky TV platform at no extra cost, and with no additional sign up needed! We'll never ask subscribers to pay-per-view to watch fights"
