Looks like boxnation are in talks with sky about putting on a mega ppv card maybe round may time 2016?? Boxnation stable who would you have on, which fighters/fights? Will this bring matchroom down a peg or two? Will it be easier to matchup boxnation fighters v matchroom? Surely this is good for boxing.
Its NOT ON SKY SPORTS PPV....its on sky box office. ...NOT sky sports....boxoffice I.e....loke the movies box office
They'll be paying Sky Sports for the priviledge of using their Box Office platform. It won't have any impact on Hearn's deal and will require BN to plug the **** out of it. It will fail spectacularly.
They can't get people to pay to subscribe to their normal content, why would anyone fork out extra for a PPV card? He has no PPV fighters anyway.
I look forward to it, at least boxing fans like us who subscribe to Boxnation wont get shafted as we will get it as part of our regular subscription- unlike at Sky. These fights will sell themselves as they will be ACTUAL PPV events not British title fight dross...
They wont need to be FW fighters either, it is the TV company that is pmoting and putting them on not the promotional company. Haye vs Fury with Eubank Jnr on the undercard could be a possibility.
Well seems you know so much you should already know that if your a boxnation customer they would compensate or refund your month or two months subscription for the ppv so the fan is never out of pocket and gets better fights. There is a few fights that could be made for world titles, better than paying to see a ppv British title!
You live in a dream world. BN is an irrelevant channel losing millions upon millions every year and is incapable of promoting boxers properly. Less than 4,000 turned up to see a MW world title fight recently. How do you propose they will promote their PPV cards?
So do you think if Hearn had boxnation and frank ****** had sky, Hearn would be able to do a better job?? No he wouldn't. The reason is sky no other reason.
You act as if FW was never previously with Sky? He left because he couldn't do a good enough job on the budget provided.
Wasn't the question was it?? Sky is the factor here nothing else, go and Tweet Eddie telling him how good he is!!
Its boxnation the tv channel who will be able to access the sky ppv platform -its not limited to their existing customers. For example they will know be able to bid for Fury-Klitscko 2 and if they get it it will be placed on the platform. Now the big question is will sky seeing as it would be a big event they willl earn from promote the thing...it wont get the special programming but i can't see why it wont get the SSN plugs. Infact George seemed quite confident that offcom would be on top of skysports etc if they where seen to be in breach of competition rules etc
Win win for all PROPER boxing fans not just the Eddie Hearn casuals who have never boxed or know nothing about it.
