    No extra charge.

    They're shown on BT Sport.

    America gets fucked for them though, about $60 IIRC.

    Aren't WWE PPVs ludicrously expensive in the States?

    Not anymore because they serve them through their subscription service. If you're the kind of numpty that just pays for Wrestlemania then yes, they destroy you.

    It would be so good if the PPV absolutely bombed for this (it probably won't) - I wonder who takes the bigger hit on poor PPV - presumably it's split pretty equally between promotors, fighters and TV networks?

    $10 a month for the subscription (you also get more) or around $45 for an individual event.

    Tough choice.

    Its bejust the promoters and tv networks if the fighters money is guaranteed.

    They'll get a cut of the PPV buys too though.

    I think the standard deal is that fighters get a cut of the American buys, with the overseas rights being sold for a single fee. The PPV doing terrible business here wouldn't affect the promoter or the fighters in any significant way, I don't think, but it would be an incantation against Sky trying to charge that sort of money for any big event in future

    That seems very reasonable, although it could be because of the time it is likely to be on. I'm sure things like the Joshua fight are more like a grand for pubs (I'm sure the Fury v Klitschko fight was in that region).

    Sorry are there about a thousand press conference around the world or something? Each day there's a different venue bit the same trash talk. People seem to love it as well.

    4.

    LA, New York, Toronto and London.

    The New York one was strange.

    Conor came out wearing this:



    Claiming that it was polar bear fur.

    He did claim that 50 Cent was a bitch though which was quite fun.

    I figured it was in the next week or two and then my flat mate told me it was August 25th. I laughed.

    Me too. I was gonna either stream it illegally or download it in the morning, but for £20 I may as well guarantee it's watchable and make a night of it. I've a first birthday party the day after it too; I'm gonna be a sleepy godfather that's for sure.

    We live in a world of pure fuckris. Entertainment at its finest. It should be completely non-competitive but in order for this to sell and it will. Conor has to convince us he can win, and floyd has to convince us he could lose which both have done effectively well. You can have a fight party around this event.

    He should although the fact he is 40 now and been away from the sport for two years is the only asterisk on this. He could blow out his knee or twist an ankle in david haye fashion.

    There's quite clearly a lot at stake for both of them. You don't get that rich and successful without becoming an arrogant twat that cares about pride and reputation.

    Don't believe what you hear in the media. Don't believe what you hear on blog sites. If it's not coming directly from me, then it's not true. I'm telling McGregor, "Let's fight in 8 oz gloves". McGregor can fight in any brand he prefers or chooses. I'll be wearing 8 oz Grant gloves. Whatever advantage McGregor needs to feel more comfortable in the ring, I'm willing to accommodate. Let's give the boxing and MMA fans what they want to see.

    The athletic commission will deny the request though, Floyd knows what he's doing.
