    Frank Warren / Queensberry can put together their own broadcasting team on DAZN.

    I would love if Buncey, Carl Frampton and Richie Woodhall joined DAZN but I don't know the expiry date of their contracts with TNT.

    I don't think you should be nervous :)

    There are quite a few people whispering in my ears that Matchroom Boxing is returning to Sky.

    Not disputing this rumour but why?

    Matchroom left because they wanted to go “global” (or to me and you, because DAZN offered more money than Sky).

    What would draw them back? As apparently Sky are planning to cut back even more than they already have done on sports that don’t bring them any views/money.

    Unless it’s some sort of Box Office only deal?

    Do you know if DAZN wants to extend the collaboration with Matchroom ?

    You mean Eddie “it’s all about me” Hearn isn’t as successful as he tells everyone on YouTube that he is?

    In relation to UK Boxing, Frank Warren will be "the main man" on DAZN going forward.

    His Excellency (who will acquire DAZN in the near future) and Frank Warren are very close.

    So no truth in the rumour that Sky want exclusivity with Riyadh season?

    Well I suppose of course they’ll want it, but doesn’t sound like they’ll get it.

    I think the Riyadh Season events in Saudi will end up exclusively on DAZN.

    You reckon Turki would be that stubborn to only achieve 25% of the numbers he’d get on Sky?

    I've heard they do but it's not a done deal.

    I think there are a couple of years left on MR's DAZN deal, however what I'm hearing Sky have planned much sooner than in a couple of years, may throw a spanner in the works.

    Frank is cashing out.

    A sad day for British Boxing.
