"Spike TV, which has been involved in combat sports as a television home to Bellator MMA and Glory kickboxing, will air boxing for the first time as part of Haymon's deal to purchase time on the network. Spike TV will carry a minimum of 33 monthly cards on Friday nights -- nine this year with 12 more apiece in 2016 and 2017. The network also said that if all goes well, additional cards might be added."
As a boxing fan I'd love to see Spike TV in the UK broadcast these shows. I'm not holding out much hope but if they do it'll mean some of the the biggest names in boxing being showcased on free to air TV. Not for everyone I know but it would be huge for boxing. |
Did you watch the boxing last Saturday on Channel 5 Chad? I've been told that the Continuity Announcer warned viewers beforehand that "this programme may include violence"!!!
