To be fair its not the most objective piece of "journalism" that Ive ever seen. Its ESB front page quality at best

 

Sky want more viewers and people certainly want to watch Fury who entertains in and out of the ring.

 

to be fair did i imply it was

 

No you didn't, but when you read such opinionated **** you have to question the validity of his sources

 

surely sky would push to make the haye fight which in fairness fury seems to be pedaling away from imo

 

In the year from 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2013. ****** Promotions/Queensbury put on 12 live tv shows including Haye. Only 3 others were at venues with 2000 above capacity SCC Mitchell v Burns, Excel Groves v Johnson and Albert Hall show with Billy Jo.

No new shows for his own promotions announced at moment.

 

What a **** article that is.

 

If I were Hearn/Sky I would be straight on the phone to fat Mick. A fighter like Tyson Fury is main event standard in the eyes of TV, but doesn't sell tickets. Its exactly what they need.

Take a show like the Brian Rose one from last weekend, and then take a look at the Luke Campbell card thats coming up. Both sell tickets but are not main eventers. If you add Tyson Fury to that mix, they become great Sky shows.

 

It's hilarious. When anyone ever talks about bias, that could be an example of what it really is.

 

the funny thing is I actually think he just made something up.

I still think Scott Gilford takes the crown.

 

I've just looked at some of the other stuff on the site it truly is low quality stuff. Is this website popular? There's way too many boxing websites/blogs considering it's only a fringe sport.

 

on fat micks site there is absolutely **** all penciled in for the rest of the year on the fight schedule:blood
