Big Frank alone on boxnation but losing fighters and reports of the channel struggling. Hearn now the sole sky promoter and signing new fighters. Frank Maloney dropped from sky with a limited stable. Fat Mick finally has tv deal but still only has a small stable. How do we see the next year planning out for these guys. I think Hearn will be ok. But big Frank might be headed up **** creek. Maloney is basically where fat Mick was a couple of years ago. Its really touch and go for him. Fat Mick should be ok but only as long as Fury, Eubank and Galahad keep winning. When they step up and potentially lose then it could all get a bit shaky for him. Let me know your thoughts on our main promoters and where they may be headed in the next year with their current situations. Thanks
FW needs to make more friends and get his top fighters busier. Box Nation needs freshening up and needs to be more innovative. Get something on the channel to rival prizefighter. Maloney has Price (for now ), but that 's it really. Fat Mick has Gypsies Hearn is wiping the floor with the rest. Groves and Degale will be Matchoom's soon.
Fat Mick is in trouble because you know 100% that Eubank Jnr will be gone, as soon as hes profile is raised. Same with Tyson Fury.
Ill summarise by saying Match room will be the premier boxing promotion company in the UK by this time next year And the rest of them will be poor relatives in comparison
I see Boxnation going under within the next year, which is a shame because we won't see as many sauerland or american fights over in the UK. Maloney will probably retire in the next year and Price will go to Matchroom Eddie Hearn will be the biggest promotor in the UK with majority of fighters going to him. Mick will be in the same boat as now, Fury will be fighting bums and Eubank Jr. will still be having tough tests against decent journeymen, Galahad I think will lose once he steps up the competition.
Difficult to speak about F.W. and BoxNation because we don't know solid facts about subscriber numbers. (Well I don't anyway.) But imo, the Sky cutback could really help BoxNation. If Sky only have a couple of shows a month now, then for boxing fans BoxNation is quite likely going to look like an essential. It's making it easier to compete. If they could get David Price on the channel then that would also be a boost.
I personally think sky should have kept hatton on board and gone forward with them. Boxnation needs to try and talk a few other stables to get on board, im talking maloney and coldwell, id say hatton aswell but i dont think hatton and ****** could ever work together. Hennessy i really couldnt care less about, i dont see his fights as real boxing, he puts on the most boring and meaningless fights and channel 5 will soon kick him into touch when people start turning off the tyson fury shambles.
I know it wasn't possible due to the budget cuts but I'd still of liked to see little Frank, and Hatton given a few Friday fight nights to put on decent shows, and left Matchroom with the Saturday.
I dont see why it matters that much if fury loses, the general public just want to see him in good scraps. A gutsy loss to a world class fighter or even an event win would help him rather than send him back to the start imo.
