Looks like a friend used his iPad and streamed the event and I guess his sky account number popped up and got him caught.

Kinda sad that he has to pay 85 grand just even though it was a “drunk friend”, plus I wonder how they calculated the bill..

he won't be paying the fine, and i'll wager that no judge would send him to jail for this neither, or if they do, it would be for 10 days or something ridiculously short, this is a publicity stunt by sky in an attempt to deter others

85 grand in lost revenue are they going to track everyone else down who was streaming the fight nothing like like been a scape goat for sky then he's agreed to pay 5k in court costs something not right about it

If I read it correctly, didnt he only pay a 5k penalty??

Neil Parkes, of Foot Anstey, told the Sunday Mirror: ‘Mr Foster broke the law. He has acknowledged his wrongdoing, apologised and signed a legally binding agreement to pay a sum of £5,000 to Sky.’
