Top 5 Current Most Influential Figures in British Boxing (non boxers)

Its won't be Frank :good

 

only question i have , and i think its a valid one ... how can the guy i have highlighted be influencial when BT currently havent signed any contracts or even publically declared an intrest in going into boxing ?

 

I don't think they publicly declared an interest in any sport they have purchased rights to. Also they have signed up Paul Dempsey which points towards some boxing coverage.

The ramifications of BT Sport NOT going into domestic boxing will be huge. Thats why he is so influential. His decision whether to show UK Boxing, just international or none at all will decide the rise and fall of several promotional companies.

If BT go with domestic boxing they could sign up Frank W or the Hattons. They could do a deal with Goldenboy & Sauerland which will include a certain number of UK shows. But if BT say no to domestic boxing it leave all of the above in a situation where they cannot produce domestic boxing on a regular basis. If BT chose to invest in International boxing it will almost certainly be the end of BoxNation.

 

But you won't give me any credit when it doesn't happen?

 

Be great to see Hatton's stable get a TV deal, he's got some good fighters on his books

 

Frank has agreed a deal to use the Copper Box arena.

 

Just a clue.. the thread title does say "non-boxers".

 

Amir Khan, yes he does.

 

Mate some people are funny with their replies

But that kind of **** is just annoying
Somebodies attempting to get people talking,the fact is your pointless comment undermines people trying to make a forum work

How about you ain't Interested In boxing **** off somewhere else

 

Is Simon Green one the board of BoxNation? I've a feeling BT Sport will get involved.

 

he was. not anymore.

 

Conflict of interest?
