00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,039
Speaker 1: never host Sterling? Tell us about the sky.

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 2: Who have not heard of Never host Sterling. Well, if

4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 2: you're not in the fight scene, he wouldn't have done.

5
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,159
Speaker 2: He has a kickboxer and he's moved to MMA. He

6
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 2: works for said he kickboxing gym, which is where Israel

7
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: du and Dan Hooker and Quikarta, France and all the

8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,159
Speaker 2: rest of them came from. He was over in the

9
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: States at a thing called the Contender Series, which is

10
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 2: the next level down from the UFC. Dana White, the

11
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: empisary of all of that. He watches this competition and

12
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 2: then awards contracts to the main event the UFC based

13
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: on what he's seen. So never host Sterling. This afternoon

14
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 2: where everyone else is watching the Donald Trump bloke and

15
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 2: the other bloke, I was like, I'm going to watch

16
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: some violence, and so I'll watched that instead. And Latsu

17
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: was the name of his opposition, and second round he

18
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: wiped him out with an incredible left hook. He just

19
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: cleaned his clock and afterwards, Dana Whites seid have been

20
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: watching you. Your big powerhouses are light heavyweights about six

21
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: foot four in the old money he carved of granite.

22
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: It looks like he goggles marble. I mean, this guy

23
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: there's something else. And he has been accepted. They said

24
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 2: we're giving a contract.

25
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: Remarkable about his left hook was it wasn't it didn't

26
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: like there wasn't a massive drawback on that one. A

27
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: He didn't sort of pull back and come and smash

28
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: it into the guy's face. He just kind of launched

29
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: it from a midpoint.

30
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 2: And so you can tell that he has been because

31
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 2: I've been showing go check this out a lot of angles.

32
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: It was. It was quite something else. But he's been

33
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: talked about for a long time in the circles, especially

34
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: up at City Kickboxing, and now he's had his opportunity.

35
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 2: I think five and Zer going into that as far

36
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: as his record so far in MMA, and he has

37
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: proven that he is something that they want to chase.

38
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 2: So another one from City Kickboxing.

39
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: Breakers are going back to TV and Z, which is

40
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: good for the Breakers, right because this will increase their

41
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: fan base.

42
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: You'd think. So it's still going to be on Sky,

43
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: it's still going to be on ESPN because that's part

44
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: of a deal that the National Basketball League in Australia

45
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: have with ESPN that their games are all shown, but

46
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: now Sky don't have to do it, so they don't

47
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: have to pay for the production values because it's about

48
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: eighty thousand dollars a game to go on there and

49
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 2: produce a game on the floor, so they're not doing it.

50
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 2: They've worked because they also don't want to pay for

51
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: two things, right, they don't want to pay for the

52
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 2: breakers and then pay for their NBA and their ESPN coverage.

53
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 2: What's the point they're going to get the breakers anyways,

54
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: It's like, why we do this? Makes sense? So TV

55
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 2: INZ rolled and mel Robinson's going to join us Tonight's talk.

56
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: About TV and Z covering the production costs.

57
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: We find out more about it when we talk to Malwaite.

58
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 2: They've got no money of course there Please.

59
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: Press them on this because this is my big concern

60
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: about TV and Z getting into the free to air

61
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: sports is that it costs so much to produce that

62
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: I just worry that they're gonna.

63
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: They will be picking up what ESPN are doing because

64
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: ESPN have a contract with the NBL to provide that

65
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 2: all they're doing is putting it on free to wear

66
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 2: on TV and Z Plus and on TV and Z

67
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 2: on Duke when they can because it does clash sometimes

68
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: with the Super Smash, but it's always going to be

69
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: all the breakers games live and free on that playful,

70
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: which is great for sport in this country. That's slowly

71
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 2: but surely it's going back to the day. And I

72
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: was talking to Alex Pale, the digital editor of The

73
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 2: Hero and before I said, oh, you remember, of course,

74
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: you know, way back when when pay TV started, and

75
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 2: was like, oh, there's no way it's eving going back

76
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 2: to free to wear. And you know what he said

77
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 2: to me, I'm a bit younger than you, mate, I've

78
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: never seen free wear sport. It's paid TV since I

79
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 2: can remember.

80
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, how good, Hey, thank you. Darcy. Okay,

81

Speaker 2: else we're going to buy? Have we've got no more money?

85
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: You're going to answer that, can't.
