    I hope Boxnation get in on these, but they have already have Alvarez V Lopez (?) so that leaves SKY to pick up Martinez V Chavez, and I am no so sure they will. So here is what is without a broadcaster in the UK, on a monster September:

    Golovkin V Proksa
    Sturm V Geale
    Klitschko, V Charr
    Dawson V Ward
    Chavez V Martinez

    Its sad to say but the only certainty there is that the Klitschko fight will be picked up.

    Sky on delay I think was being suggested.

    BoxNation may pick that up.

    Could go to either BoxNation or Sky?

    Probably not shown.

    We will see if Sky care enough...

    You would expect all of them to be picked up maybe not Golovkin V Prozka

    Boxnation will wait it out hoping to pick some up late and cheap (if no other takers) a la JCC jnr - Andy Lee fight.

    My main concern is that the JCC jnr - Martinez fight won't get picked up due to the clash with the Canelo fight. Would be a shame as it looks to be the best bout out of a good month of boxing.

    Martinez V Chavez is very important. I will not be happy as a paying subscriber if it is just Alvarez V Lopez, surely they can get it on delay? If SKY do not pick it up then we know where we stand for the future of the televised sport.

    Considering Proska is based over here and promoted by Eddie Hearn I'd hope this was picked up.

    They have had problems getting Top Rank stuff. They almost didn't reach a deal for the Chavez vs Andy Lee fight. They then couldn't reach a deal for the next Top Rank card that they wanted.

    Yeah, its the Golden Boy tie-up. But to be frank, its plain to see what the fans want. I am keen to see how many people are subscribed right now. Does anyone know what the Haye versus Chisora bout brought in numbers wise?

    Klitschko/Charr will be picked up by Boxnation if Sky can't shoe horn it into their schedules. Depending on how Goodwin's show goes on September 15th, we could see Sports Tonight buying the rights to lesser European fights going forward.

    With all the Haye-Chisora money paying off the bills you'd hope that Boxnation would pick most of these up seeing as there hasn't been any big boxing for ages

    Be a travesty if Martinez/Chavez and Dawson/Ward don't get picked up.

    But how much did they have to pay Haye to get the fight in the first place?
