Sales are happening - 3 great releases in Sept so far!!!!Sports to power its Sky Sports Box Office OTT service. The NeuLion(R) Digital Platform will power future, live pay-per-view events for Sky Sports Box Office.
"We've seen the work that NeuLion has done over many years for the English Football League, NBA, NFL, Eleven Sports Network, Euroleague Basketball, and others, and we are excited that our Sky Sports Box Office OTT service is being enabled by the NeuLion Digital Platform," said David Gibbs, Digital Director - Sky Sports & Sky News. "We believe that NeuLion plays an important role in ensuring the success of our live OTT service, and it's an exciting addition to our content offering for fans in the UK and Ireland."

Streaming replays of the live events are available on-demand for fans up to seven (7) days later on the Sky Sports archive service.
As part of this new agreement and partnership, Sky Sports Box Office used the NeuLion Digital Platform to power the streaming of the Saturday, August 26, 2017 fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor. Next up on the service, World Heavyweight Champion Anthony Joshua will defend his title against Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev on 28 October.
Then...a deal in Bulgaria! Great timing and planning on Neulions part.
Sky Sports is a big one and they seemed happy enough to buy more from Neulion after streaming the Mayweather McGregor fight which is awesome news! :) :) :)
