| It seems then that all signs currently point towards a deal with FOX's UK counterpart, Sky television, after the ESPN deal expires in August. Despite moving away from the pay-per-view business, 'Box Office' movies and events are still big business and as the most established sports network in the UK, Sky certainly have the resources required to push MMA (and the UFC brand) into the mainstream outside of the United States. | |

Only because ESPN has only been around for a couple years here, it's actually a pretty good channel if you love your American sports. I'd be fine with the UFC moving to Sky Sports as long as it's not PPV, I can't see them doing that but the WWE is PPV so I am slightly worried. Honestly I don't understand why they don't make use of the Fox partnership and move it to FXUK, that's part of the entertainment package of Sky and will reach alot more viewers. |
