    I work for a media agency - we get BARB's overnight ratings. The consolidated numbers won't be out for another week, but they won't change too much from this.

    The amount of domestic cards on Boxnation recently tells you what their strategy is going forward.

    Not sure why BoxNation figures are not available. There a subscription channel just like Sky.

    The cost in filming an amateur show or york hall British title fight is not dramatically different to filming a show like Saturday nights. Frank needs all his domestic cards to sell big tickets so that they don't make a loss.

    Somebody said in another thread that Frank should have invested in a studio and set up some seating.

    DeGales fight in Canada is an 8 rounder.

    Also Wealth TV is really not a great platform. Only available on 2 cable outlets...theirs probably 50 in the USA.

    This would be a realistic end to the year on Sky and would complete Matchrooms 20 card quota. I would be happy with this.


    June 15th - Motorpoint Arena, Cardiff
    Gavin Rees v Ji Hoon Kim (IBF International Lightweight)
    Lee Selby v Samir Moumainnne (British Featherweight)
    Tobias Webb v Kerry Hope (British Super Middleweight Eliminator)


    June 29th - Wembley Arena, London
    Darren Barker v Andy Lee (IBF International Middleweight)
    Billy Joe Saunders v John Ryder (British & Commonwealth Middleweight)
    Edis Tatli v Kevin Mitchell (WBA Inter-Continental Lightweight)


    July 13th - KC Stadium, Hull
    Kell Brook v Carson Jones II (IBF International Welterweight)
    Brian Rose v Joey Hernandez (WBO Inter-Continential Light Middleweight)
    Tommy Coyle v Derry Matthews (Vacant Commonwealth Lightweight)
    Luke Campbell Pro Debut


    July 27th - Oddesey Arena, Belfast

    They should sign you up. Some good bills there think Frampton wont be as late. Talk of London bill early June

    Didn't realise it was an eight rounder- highlights might be the best option for Channel Five.

  13. Fighters lose profile hidden away from the masses on Boxnation with low numbers of subscribers so it will be Sky for Fury

    The most popular UK fighters will all be going back to Sky soon now that there is the chance of PPV money.

    Hearn has failed Sky and hopefully there will be a multi promoter deal next season with the return of Friday Fight Night.

    Boxnation needs a pile of new subscribers but there is no interest in yank boxing on at nightclub pulling/entering the pie time in the early hours on Sun morning
