Sky takes boxing bout to Colombia

Trinidad-de la Hoya PPV match highly anticipated

Latin American satellite TV service Sky will be the only system in Colombia to carry Saturday's Oscar de la Hoya-Felix Trinidad boxing match.

Produced by Top Rank with promoter Don King, the welterweight bout may become the sport's highest-grossing pay-per-view event yet.

The 12-round tilt will be held at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.

Sky is offered to Latin America via an alliance with News Corp., Liberty Media, Grupo Televisa and Organizacoes Globo.
