    Could this mean Haye is retiring or maybe even letting Hayemaker go and sign with Golden boy?

    It is a great signing and they could put on some stacked cards, but it won't be on terrestrial. Matchroom are Very loyal to Sky.

    Matchroom are the ones I think Sky are going to put there tust behind to spearhead boxing in the UK.

    Sky's relationship with matchroom goes beyond boxing so your right there will be no shows on terrestrial tv.

    thats a fair point, i never thought of the relationship Sky have with matchroom before.

    i hope you're right as well,

    i think we all know that the FW promoted fights are a bit of a sham, it'll be great to just watch good honest boxing again.

    plus, Eddie Hearn comes across as a true gent, no heirs or graces with him, and not a dodgy snidey shitbag like FW

    That's the last thing we want mate :good The main problem people have with ****** is that he's had the WBO in his pocket for so long. I'd prefer Eddie Hearn to go about things on his own and work his fighters up to World Title fights in a better manner than ****** has. Genuine world level fighters fighting for genuine titles. :good

    It was tongue in cheek and another dig at Frank. Fact is tho it's true, if they get these trinkets on order then they satisfy the need to market their fighters as 'champs' just like Frank does.

    If they go the proper traditional way then its harder for them, but obviously better for us. Im just glad Frank looks as tho he is ****ed cos its somewhat satisfying seeing all the criticism and anger towards him as we are seeing now. I think He/Arum/King are cancers to the sport, just in it for the doe.

    To be fair mate I don't mind ******. He may have got some of his fighters dodgy title shots and weak defences etc etc, but from a boxers point of view there was never anyone out there who could offer a fighter either the money nor the opportunities that ****** could. He's done pretty well by most of his fighters TBH

    I like Hearn mind. Seems a good bloke although a slightly annoying thing about him is he reminds me of that twat Lampard :lol:

    You dont mind Frank but when I said Hearn should emulate his crooked ways, you replied 'thats the last thing we want'. That's double standards there Dan, pure and simple. I know what you mean like and you make sense but we must all be together when we say that crooked abc's are the cancer of the sport and Frank is in bed with one of them and should NOT be allowed to be.

    Frank has his surname blocked for good ******* reason. You can type Hearn cant you :good that is for good reason. When has Hearn put on a shower of **** like Burns v Cook?

    Sky have done me and everyone on of us a favour if they **** Frank off. I hope they invest major doe into matchroom and create a new no1 in the country. That way we get proper champs who defend against proper fighters. Frank can go **** himself as far as I am concerned :deal

    p.s yeah eddie does look like a fat frank lampard ;)

    I didn't say I personally agreed with what he did, moreso I can see why he did and if I was a fighter I'd have gone with him for that reason.

    It's not great for us fans but he's done well by his fighters. No hypocrisy there pal, just common sense.

    But I hope Hearn does it differently.

    I'm sure he does do right by his fighters. If robbing Calzaghe of a £5million purse is looking after your fighters then sign me up :verysad

    I knew what you meant, but giving your fighters decent purses at the expense of robbing fans then I am not a fan of that :good
