    On his show a few weeks back Buncie was dropping non-too-subtle hints that "The Olympians" might be fighting on Setanta. Maybe its part of an out of court settlement?

    khan vs barerra is 100% on sky, whether its 1,2,3 or xtra, or box office. it said so in the press realease on warrens web-site.

    to be honest, its good that warren is on sky. setanta would of allowed him to put on **** cards and build prospects up through the wbu route.

    now that warrens on sky, guys like cleverly and brook are fighting for domestic belts, i guarentee if warren has still be with sky cleverly would of never fought for the commonwealth title.

    You and me both, mate.

    A Setanta lawsuit was my understanding, along with the fact that when FW is on Sky it's called "Queensbury Fight Club" or something like that and the only place that you see "Sports Network" is on the back of Dean Powells jacket.

    Then last week, we go and see FW sitting next to Buncey in the Setanta studio! What's going on?

    Khan v Barrera will 10000% definitely be on Sky Box Office. Warren never lets an opportunity to fleece the public go by.

    I too noticed that at recent events 'Sports Network' has been replaced by 'Frank Warren' but with the same logo. I didn't really think there was any relevance in it but now it appears there may be.

    This article has a bit about the Queensbury Fight Network: http://www.saddoboxing.com/7193-queensberry-fight-network.html

    That puzzled me a bit. Maybe they have come to some sort of agreement hence FW being on the show and Setanta having him on the show.

    There must be a truce with various enticements somewhere. No doubt Warren will keep shtumb and drag Setanta through every court in the land if they blab:hey
