What channel is UFC on for Sky (UK)?

Will the Mayweather fight be on sky? I'm guessing it's probably PPV?

Also, who do you want to win. Connor or Floyd? I like both, but I like UFC more so am leaning towards Connor.

    UFC is usually screened on Spike, CH5 and BT Sport.

    But this is a boxing match and it will be PPV in every country showing a live broadcast on their TV station. I'm pretty sure Box Nation/BT Sport won't be picking it up although BT Sport could on their own but then they have a month to set up a PPV channel get the word out about it. It won't be on Spike or CH5 and so the likely choice is Sky or ITV.

    Given their budgets for boxing and the lack of time between now and the fight, Sky are clear favourites but I can tell you right now I won't be paying not even £1 to watch it. I for one am tired of being ripped off.

    I don't really care who wins, I've now watched one McGregor fight to see what he's got but obviously he's going to be completely outclassed and possibly stopped in the ring. He can't grab, hold, throw or kick Mayweather on the night and so he has no chance.

    If ANYONE ELSE with a record of almost 50 professional wins and 0 losses was fighting another boxing debutant and was asking people to pay for the privilege, he'd be completely annihilated, they'd run him out of town.

    It hasn't been announced yet which broadcaster will be awarded the UK rights; Sky, BTSport and ITVBoxOffice have all submitted bids. It will be PPV only, the price hasn't been announced yet although the price to watch in the USA is just under $100 (£77)
