Saying as this is a TV presentation forum I will talk about Emirates Cup on Quest this weekend, the coverage has had one commentator in Kevin Keatings for all 4 matches with no co-commentator, no pundits or no presenter. Fair enough in some regards at half time or full time they don't even show a recap of the goals just went straight to adverts. They also played features during both matches yesterday such as how to polish a table which was random.
Sounds like they just took the World Feed then as Kevin Keatings was on that commentating on his own.

Sounds like that however my point in my original post is that Quest have shown sport before with proper commentary teams and pundits and have before as well for Pre Season Football and even if they didn't want to hire pundits etc. they could of at half time still shown a round up of the goals from the 1st half and said join us again shortly even if Keatings didn't do a voice over then showed their adverts and polishing tables features before showing them again briefly before the 2nd half began like Premier and Eir Sports do. I know it's only a pre season tournament and I was glad it was on free to air but they could of at least did the coverage a bit of justice.
Sky Sports Box Office have the rights to Mayweather v McGregor next month.
The undercard must now be of reasonable quality for Sky to go for it - and the promotors have dropped there stupid PPV demands, to a price that Sky now thinks is sellable.
I've seen on one report that the promotors were suggesting the UK price should be somewhere around £44.95.
Sky, quite rightly laughed that one away (if true) - but I'd be interested to see what price they are going to charge. This may be the first £20+ ppv fight.
Like all over-hyped PPV fights - you'll be wasting your money. Be over to quickly as McGregor blows air on the canvas somwhere around round 3, and Mayweather tries to spot the bags of cash being loaded into one of his lackys SUV's driven at high speed out of Las Vegas.
And the first major test - is right on ITN's doorstep next year with the World IAAF Indoors at the NIA/Barclaycard Arena in Birmingham.
Pity they miss the really big one - end of this week for the 2017 Worlds at the London Olympic Stadium.
Anyone know who is the host broadcaster for this one - BBC Sport, or a OBS/HBS style mixture of broadcasters each pointing cameras at different events in the stadium, supplying a single world feed signal?

Sky Sports Press Release state the price is £19.95 in the UK and €24.95 for Republic of Ireland.
