    @EddieHearn: Great news! FOUR big International fight cards coming to @skysports in September and October to be announced early next week!

    I'd imagine Stevenson vs. Cloud will be one of them, I guess Bradley vs. Marquez is a possibility. Wladimir vs. Povetkin perhaps?

    Any ideas?

    Or ESPN. Don't think the Klitchkos' people were too happy with the offer for the Vitali/Charr fight from Boxnation.

    BT will maybe show the Klitschko fight, ESPN showed the last one.

    They'll definitely show Stevenson vs Cloud with the Bellew interest.

    Definitely Stevenson v Cloud due to Bellew facing the winner.
    Perhaps Smith v Molina? Will Kell Brook step up weight division to fight the winner of that?
    Pacquiao V Rios....Its in China and the last coverage of a fight in China was covered by Sky.

    Pac vs Rios is in November though Hearn said the fights are in September and October.

    Floyd Canelo and Mathysse Garcia is better than all of Skys cards combined.

    Why were Sky not in for that fight!!

    Its a bad development if Sky and Matchroom continue their monopolization of British boxing broadcasting.

    It will only lead to additional PPV cards that cost more than they already do.


    F.rank is nothing compared to Murdock whose employees listened to the voicemails of a murdered child.

    Canelo / Floyd has already been bought by Boxnation.

    Cloud / Stevenson 100%.
    Broner / Maidanna when that happens (Brook interest)
    Chavez Jr / Vera (Froch interest MAYBE)
    Cotto / Rodriquez - it'll be cheap and Cotto is still a decent name to pull in a few viewers.
    Bradley / Marquez - (They might finally feed Brook to the winner)
    Hopkins / Murat - (Hopkins big name with casuals, maybe interest in a unification fight was Bellew to win?)

    That's literally as guess work but those are the only fights from the upcoming schedule that have any slight reason behind Sky showing them, if it wasn't just to give us fans some nice fights, which it wouldn't be - ever.
