    This is a disastrous move if he doesn't have a major network backing to supplement Boxnation.

    You cannot build fighters without any exposure. Nobody even knows that channel exists.

    He's probably thinking his **** Cleverly vs Eurobum cards are going to do similar PPV numbers to what Khan is doing on Primetime. He'll be wrong.

    I can live without seeing any of the fighters in ******'s stable at present, Matchroom the best promoters in the UK.

    Matchroom, Hatton, Maloney should easily be able to fill the sky slots

    I know... I almost got excited there. It would have signalled a return to the mainstream for the sport. But the Beeb won't be interested in the inflated purses and egos of those in boxing.

    Only some hardcore fans know about boxnation. I don't see why Frank is doing this. Sky will put on a fight every week, even fri and saturday sometimes. He is greedy. The card needs depth and strong match ups. Its as simple as that. If you just want to see a good fight, you watch UFC, even SF and you leave happy. If you do the same for boxing, you might not be so lucky.

    I like Matchrooms intentions and they seem to have all their fighters in good or risky fights. Brook is in an eliminator, Martinez is facing one of the best, Froch is facing one of the best, Frampton was going to step up, McCloskey is in line for a title fight etc Good on them.

    Yep, it's the agent Aaron Lincoln from Sports Consultancy Services Ltd and Icon Sports Management Ltd. He used to supply kit to Chelsea through his company Interative Shirts Ltd. You might remember that he had a high profile dispute with John Terry over a multi-million pound deal with Umbro a couple of years ago.

    Whatever Fwank decides to do, I wish him nothing but Bad luck, Im fed up with greedy Fish looking, thieving, conniving, Bullet proof promoters, Trying to do me out of a few quid, He make's **** fight's with bull**** outcomes, Has the judges and ref in his pocket and expects you to pay extra to witness this crap. Ill might shut up now? in case of a lawsuit coming my way which is another reason I think he's the biggest walking talking turd on this planet. Rant over.
