    Steve Bunce said that its not confirmed they will be on Sky. Hinted it could be setanta but i could see BBC or another terrestrial channel getting in the mix.

    They are all with SN, so expect them to be sold as part of the PPV series FW pioneered in order to retain Amir Khan.

    I don't know I mean Frank Warren has suddenly gotten a lot more cosier with setanta recently, a few weeks ago he was talking negatively about Bunce in his column for the sun, yet today was sharing a laugh with him.

    I would not be surprised if setanta went all out to get the olympic trio I mean they have spent a lot recently on boxing.

    P.S if they are not fighting on the same night as Amir, which was mentioned, does this further indicate they will not be on skysports?

    Frank Warren is just a slimy ****.

    End of story.

    It wasn't so long ago he reneged on his deal with Setanta, who were going to sue him up to his eyeballs as a result.

    I just wish the TV companies would bring the twat into line, and say.....

    No more English, Commonwealth or WBO titles
    No more inter-alphabetty fights
    No more bums

    well all of warrens Sport Network fighters are fighting on sky

    but Frank Warren fighters (who the olympians are) can fight where they get the best deal

    Terrastrial television does not want Degale and co. Degale, Frankie "big forehead" Gavin and co have had little impact on the British public and are not big names (relative to King Khan when he was on ITV).

    Degale is a big mouth and the BBC learned from Audley that the British public do not want their license fee spent on bullshitters.

    I doubt it very much. The degale spin machine (his big mouth) might have you believe that and the b/s £2m offers but we all know that was 100% b/s to get himself a decent deal. The BBC were not even interested in signing big mouth funky chunky or whatever he calls himself.

    well thats just your opinion. he got 1.5mil from warren and that wasnt the biggest offer, so not far off 2mil.

    how can u be pissed of at him for getting trying to make more money, you want him and khan to risk there life 8 times a year for magic beans and give the £50 from each of the 10,000 thats come to see them to bradley pryce or something

    the bbc do not sign fighters, they havent done since 2001.

    I presumed. Might be on normal sky sports since it's on the Rogan v Skelton bill with Broadhurst also on the bill. Seems like friday fight night card as the other Warren fighters are signed to Sky.
