    I doubt many will want to sign for him anyway given Matchroom's sudden rise.

    Boxnation is not even advertised! How can he build up a career on a obscure channel? Sky will do him no favours! Looks like Kell Brook jumped ship just in time!

    with Sky pulling out of PPV then he is going to have to find other sources of revenue to pay the likes of DeGale and Gavin

    Without sky sports news pushing fights then how will the average sport fan know about the fights, VVarren doesnt even mention his own cards in his Sun article. How many people are gonna pay for a ppv with the top fight being Walsh/Appleby? I just cant see it. Maybe big cards for ppv but most cards would have to be free to air.

    I honestly doubt it'll be PPV from the get go. I imagine Fishy will have a plan.

    That's true but it's his own fault for paying them ridiculous money, It's not the fan's fault that they haven't set the world on fire, maybe if they wasn't paid so much they might have more hunger for the game and perform accordingly. That would bring in extra fund's itself.

    Wow! If this is right, it's brilliant! I'm all for terrestrial boxing. It'll mean more of it as ITV won't show a monster card, so we'll likely end up with Mitchell, Degale, Groves, Clev/Bellew all split with fringe fighters. 1 main fight, 1 undercard fight shown, with highlights of the others? Not great but certainly nor bad.

    Imagine Cleverly - Bellew on ITV!

    **** the undercard.

    Straight to Jim Watt at ringside for the main event then finish up with a few interviews. All this 'profile building' bull**** will go out of the window. It makes no sense. Put novice boxers on novice wages, regardless of how good they did at the Olympics then let them fight their way to a profile.

    Trying to build stars is insane, just make the fights and let the stars emerge.

    ****** pulled out on Setanta to move back to Sky. Now he is leaving Sky for some half arsed station. Sky wont promote any of his fighters no chance. His only hope is going main stream. Who knows maybe 1 of the other tv stations will come in and show his cards on main stations. I know Channel 4 have been looking to get more sport on there station so that could be a option. Along with ITV and Channel 5 but to go to Boxnation its a terrible decision which will lead to his fighters fanbase falling big time.

    Hopefully Sky offer more cards to Matchroom , Hatton and Maloney if ****** ****s off. Could we see another promotor offered a Sky date that wouldnt normally get a Sky bill.
