    Ben Shalom tried to get BBC iPlayer to broadcast their fights .. that's a sign of desperation..

    That means TNT and DAZN turned them down.

    Also if Boxxer can't secure a big TV deal , their fighters become free agents

    Free Adam Azim , Ben Whittaker, Callum Simpson lool

    If true, I hope, the fighters you mention, are able to terminate their contract, under this circumstances. It will depend on what's in their individual agreements.

    Fighters will become free agents is very likely, Boxxer fighters unable to get TV dates and a promotion that will simply fold anyway without a major TV deal as unable to pay fighters what their contracts stipulate. The revenue stream will already have dried up, where can Boxxer now go?

    This is far beyond a scenario like having Bill Ives who backed Frank Warren and Boxnation with what seemed a long shot of ever succeeding but what always going to incur heavy losses, cards on a stand alone channel and a niche sport to boot.
