There will also be a worldwide PPV (Pay-Per-View) option on the LiveSport.tv platform, who also carry One FC and other major sporting events.
We spoke to Cage Contender CEO John Ferguson about the new deal
“It’s another great step forward for Cage Contender. We’re happy to be giving broadcasters a live option, that will run hand in hand with our already successful tape delay product”
“We would like to thank all the broadcasters that have come on board, as each required an increase in their budget to accquire the live rights.
“People might think we are mad moving to a live broadcast in the country where the event is being held but as boxing has proven for many years that sports fans deem live products to be more worthy of their time
We hope this is a benchmark that the industry will adopt”
