    With the Cold War supposedly over between Top Rank HBO and GoldenBoy SHO opening things up to the best vs the best in each division fighting each other , Can anyone ever see this being the case in the near future for the good of the sport and the fighters between ,Hearn SKY and FW Boxnation ?????

    Needs to happen imo as fans are being robbed aswell as fighters of some cracking matchups

    Boxnation doesn't have many good british fighters left anyway.

    Not a chance in this country because of Frank's decision to set up Boxnation and Hearn's monopoly on Sky.

    Frank is perfectly happy for his fighters to box on Sky. However Eddie won't allow his fighters to fight on BoxNation. The only way it will happen is due to purse bids.

    Mainly because there is no value in Eddie sending his fighters on BN shows but there's big value for FW to send his fighters on eddies shows/ringside etc

    I would like to see the board step in and push for more purse bids to be made.

    The problem is now that a lot of fighters are not being driven down the british route, but going for intercontinental, silver, international belts etc

    Purse bids is the only way we get these fighters fighting each other

    Top rank HBO and GBP SHO was a bigger divide and that seems to be bridged , Never say Never as they say

    The only person that can stop this is Hearn. Sky can continue without the odd boxer now and then fighting on another show. FW can't afford this as his stable is limited and with it being a pure boxing channel that rely's on subcriptions , I don't see why he should let his fighters fight on Sky.
