    So on Porky's Corner, he says Frank has been talking to Sky and even Johnny Nelson is bigging him up as the future. Do you thing this is true ? Would he leave a BT contract for, at best, a shared Sky contract ? Is Eddie going to Dazn 100% in which case he will be the exclusive Sky contract holder ? I'm sure there's going to be big chances in 2021 and if Frank can bring Fury to Sky, he could well be back .

    Porky’s corner isn’t a fan of Hearn but does have some insider access.

    It is clear that Hearn hasn’t delivered the goods for Sky in the last 18 months. It is time that Sky boxing took a different direction.

    What do mean Frank 'could well be back'? Frank is still a major player in global boxing.

    Sky might go in a different direction but what would Warren deliver that Hearn couldn’t? Frank’s stable is as weak as it probably ever has been.

    Sky have had Warren on a few times during lockdown on their boxing shows but suspect they are just trying to build bridges ahead of a fury AJ joint ppv. Warren has zero buzz about him. Yesterdays man.

    If Dubios loses to Joyce, Yarde is a hype job, no one else matters and Fury doesn’t fight for Warren he just uses him as a front man so what on earth does he bring to the table that Hearn doesn’t? I just think if it happens it’s sky just getting one back at Eddie but it make zero sense.

    These scenarios can work both ways...If AJ loses to Pulev or it’s another points stinker, which could be likely given Pulev style and good chin...if Whyte loses or looks like dog muck again like he did in his last fight etc..

    Saunders is not an attraction, Smith was beaten up by Ryder, Brook is washed it’s not so wonderful of a stable that Warren might start to look an attractive option in the future, especially if Dubois is the goods, and McCann etc can break through.

    I’m sorry but even if all that happens (unlikely) I can’t see any way in which Frank Warren is an attractive option for Sky Sports. It would literally be several steps backwards. There’s a reason why three of his best fighters, as well as others signed with other promoters.

    If Sky were going to go in another direction it’s more realistic to suggest them going with a younger stable and promotional outfit like MTK

    If Dubois is the goods I doubt he’ll hang around once his contract is up with Warren.

    They may not be massive but Warrington, Liam Smith and Saunders were three of Warren’s biggest names and they’ve all left him. You have to accept it can’t just be bad luck when it comes to the fact that movement between promoters has been largely one way traffic for a decade.
