    Sorry about this being another TV related question but I feel it has relevance. Why is Groves on Boxnation this weekend? I know Boxnation have a deal with Sauderland but Groves is now with Matchroom. Boxnation have a deal with Goldenboy but if Brook or Rees fight on a Goldenboy show then Sky get the rights. How come this isn't the case with Groves at the weekend? I also can't understand why Eddie Hearn, Matchroom and Sky have agreed to this. I have this info from a tweet Boxnation have made.

    Groves isn't the main event. He isn't even the co-feature. He's in like the fifth-billed match.

    It isn't BN showing a Groves card, it's BN showing Abraham vs. Stieglitz II and Groves happens to be on the undercard and not a major factor on it.

    Boxingnation have the exclusive Saurland rights plus Sky sports don't care about the fight. So it's Boxnation or nothing is the simple answer.

    Where does it say Matchroom fighters can't be on Boxnation? Hearn has a deal with Saurland to put Groves in the card and Boxnation has a deal with Saurland to show the card. If Hearn didn't want Groves on Bonation then he wouldnt have put him on a Saurland card.

    Its a very big deal to Frank, he said on Facebook "Welcome home George" :lol:

    Would love to hear if Groves considers Boxnation his home...
