If Dazn disappears will sky sports welcome Eddie Hearn back with open arms?

If Eddie brings Joshua yes. If Eddie has no big PPV fighters under contract then no

 

Hopefully the death of DAZN UK will be quick and Sky/BT Sports open up to all promoters.

Makes sense for all UK promoters to work together to produce better cards and fights or the sport will fall further behind the cartoon show on DAZN UK tonight.

 

you bet lil Ben gets demoted back to tea boy

 

@Trafford is the current Matchroom tea boi

 

No fck him. Ben is a decent kid giving it a good go.

 

This. People judge him because he doesn't have Eddie's motormouth banter or Frank's shoulder-rolling attitude but as a promoter he's not doing a lot wrong.

He's clearly in Sky's back pocket too, why would they swap for another promoter with their own business?

 

Hopefully not, he ****ed off with his stable and sought bigger things and it didn't quite work out so **** him, sky are much bigger than him and would be mad to let him back in.

 

imo ben shalom first year has been decent with sky, its better than hearn's first year with sky if i recall.

 

It's not as one-sided as that. Sky were daft enough (or forward-thinking enough, take your pick) to go exclusive with one promoter, and left themselves wide open to this happening. The fact they did it with the most money-savvy, ambitious promoter in the UK made it inevitable.

It's to theirs and Shalom's credit they have regular decent-level boxing on the telly now at all.

 

Good card on Sky Sports tonight with three 50/50 fights

 

Once bitten twice shy springs to mind, it would be a massive mistake to bring him back, i am looking forward to more great fights where the promoters work together and get fights done, not ones who chuck their toys out of the pram for a quid.

 

I think there's no chance they would. Tbh they've worked with all the big 3 promoters but I just don't think they would after it was all so public. Plus Shalom seems to be building well. I know he comes from money etc but so does Hearn so can't hold that against him. I do think it would be good if Warren came back to Sky with his stable.

 

I can't remember his first year (Hearn's) but I agree Shalom's has been good. He's fronted it all well too. Seems very calm throughout.

 

Sky and BT have been just as bad as DAZN with some of the content they have put on PPV recently…
