    Even with Adam Smith he couldn't do much with Ben shalom and his limited stable, SKY miss Hearn and Hearn misses SKY, they worked well together.

    Always seemed a bizarre signing from Boxxer. Bakole had one fight on an undercard in Poland and nothing else. Seems like Ricky Summer swill be fighting Yarde and not Ben Whittaker too.
    Wow that would be terrible for the sport. Crazy that Sky are axing boxing before DAZN when we've been hearing about how much money DAZN have been leaking on boxing apparently. I wonder what that means for fightings signed to Boxxer like Adam Azim. Would he become a free agent since Boxxer would lose their TV deal?

    I don't know why people seemed to think dazn were going to exit boxing. They keep investing and boxing is a big thing for them.

    The one thing they have done consistently is lose large sums of money and long may it continue.

    I agree.

    Regardless of which TV station or platform it is. If they want to invest in the sport of boxing then people should support it.

    Yeah I wonder if Adam Azim, Ben Whittaker, Caroline Dubois etc. have something in their contracts that makes them a free agent if Sky leaves Boxxer.

    One day the Russian will pull out if there is no drying up of the huge losses but he needs milked for as long as possible.

    they're about to secure some premier league rights though apparently, that will boost them for sure.
