    Ye I reckon. Not sure it's the best move tbh.
    There's going to be a legal case brought by Frank if course.

    I don't think they need him to go anywhere, I imagine they just need him to help get the Buatsi fight over the line. That fight really needs to happen.perhaps he warms up with Azeez first.

    I guess they would look to get him in with Whittaker a couple of fights after.

    Azeez is older than yarde Mark if that's what you were referring to.

    Boxxer on sky has been poor, looks badly produced for TV and the cards have been generally below average.

    Shalom doesn't convince anyone if you cant convince the casuals even the odd good fight he has matched its bad for ratings.

    When sky UK had Warren then after Hearn, they could sell a fight.

    Shalom couldnt sell sand in the desert.

    The fight production of Boxxer shows UK is very poor.

    No idea how long is left on the contract but highly doubt Sky will renew.

    Honestly think you could put on domrstic level fighters squaring off with two decent fights at the end of any card, but Boxxer has really been poor.

    The saying is he could sell sand in the desert or he could sell sand to the Arabs (about great salesman). So what you’ve said makes no sense. Nobody could sell sand in the desert. Have a little think about why that is mate…

    The sky cards have been generally awful since Shalom has taken over from Hearn.

    Most cards have been stacked with mismatches.

    Sky need Hearn and Hearn needs Sky.

    A product needs a good salesman, but on the other hand there’s no point being a good salesman if nobody sees your pitch.

    Funny how a company who has invested heavily in womens boxing is dying on it ass, yet women's boxing is massively popular (APPARENTLY)
