    My complaint about broadcasting is the scheduling

    You get weekends on end with nothing then clashes

    26.3.16 Sky v Channel 5

    2.4.16 Sky v Boxnation

    On 27.2.16 you have SBO v Ofalabi v Huck on Boxnation
     
  2. When it's a foreign card that BN have bought the rights to, you can hardly Blake them if it clashes with Hearn's dates. However why Fisheyes constantly puts on dates that clash with Hearn's is beyond me.

    He is taking a league two quality product and asking people to watch that over the Premier League.

    I have noted that the Tom Baker v Jack Morris card is on Friday 25 March

    Thus avoided a treble clash

    The Channel 5 card was the only available date the channel had apparently. I doubt many will watch Brook anyway- it's a very poor fight.

    They've not added it to their schedule. Also just seen that BN are showing some russian MMA event this friday, bit odd.

    They have done that a few times with Andy Ayling shows an the Harrow show after Mitchell Smith pulled out then. Showing the clips the next Thursday on the Bunce Hour adds salt to the wounds

    I really want Boxnation to pick up the Jessie Vargas Card on 5 March because of Ortiz v Thompson

    I suspect they will get Packman

    With the AJ PPV in April they would have to put Khan on Sky Sports which may make it affordable for Boxnation

    It looks like Crolla will fight on May 7th so that may impact on Canelo/Khan on Sky.
