Sky Box Office's Refusal To Show The UFC In Great Britain

The petition is addressed to Sky Viewer Relations, and reads;

We, in the British Mixed Martial Arts Community, have waited for 8 years to receive coverage of the Ultimate Fighting Championship on Pay per view. We finally felt we were being recognised when the UFC's new owners Zuffa announced that they had a new partner in SKY and would hold an event in the UK along with showing all future UFC's.

Now that UFC38 has been and gone SKY have totally gone back on their promises and are not showing UFC 39 on the 27th September 2002 and, apparently, have no intention of showing the biggest event in mixed martial arts history, Tito Ortiz vs Ken Shamrock on November 22nd.

We appreciate that it is too late to organise the broadcast of UFC 39 but the following people all agree to pay the £14.95 that it will cost to show UFC 40 and all the UFC's after that if SKY guarantee to show them.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

Personally, I think any sport on Sky should be free if you subscribe to the Sports package. Why pay all that money to have the sport channels, then have to pay extra to watch boxing, football, etc. Sky can be a$$holes.

I'll post this on the martial arts newsgroups I visit too.
