    This is probably me being crazy but does anyone think Furys comeback will be shown on Sky? Or a channel other than BT?

    First point is that sky had a reporter at the press conference, they did an interview with Fury after the press conference, second point is that they actually showed parts of the press conference on Sky sports news in the peak time between 6pm and 7pm and they also showed frank Warren speaking, Thirdly there was no mention of BT or boxnation in the press confrence or on the poster, fourthly in Fury's IFL interview he said they have exciting news about the broadcaster and he cant speak about it at the moment, warren also said something similar and kugan was asking questions as if he had an idea or had heard that this fight was gonna have a different broadcaster or something,

    It will probably be on BT or BT PPV but i just think its weird that they can't talk about the broadcaster, maybe it will be on BBC or something, or maybe it will be on sky who knows.

    Thoughts?

    No.

    Matchroom have Sky exclusivity. Unless Eddie wants to waive that which I doubt.

    I wonder if Frank is exclusive to BT?

    Boxnation is his baby so you’d assume it would be a 100% on that but what about channel 5, ITV, ITV PPV, YouTube?

    its just for exposure, they are setting up the AJ v Fury fight even now. They will want it to do the biggest numbers they ever have.

    Can't see as Fury could of just signed to matchroom to be on Sky.

    Also sky don't have any interest in showing Fury vs Bums.

    Hearn a few weeks ago said the level of opposition he wanted Fury to fight was far higher than the level Fury wants to fight.

    Am I right in saying box nation tweeted 0 about Fury? However BT did.

    So going to be an exclusive BT PPV not including Box nation

    Could kill Box Nation tbf.

    Will need Frank Warren fighters to fill the Fury cards so will reduce the pool available for Box Nation shows.

    Zelfa Barrett

    And more, all good fighters to go on BN shows tied up for a couple of months. Would have to damage BN

    I get that, but can see a good few people stop subscribing. If the #1 Man with the guy who owns your subscription channel is not fighting on it. Could hack a few people off. Especially as it will have to reduce the amount and quality of UK Box Nation cards.

    I just can’t see it being on BT and not boxnation. It would be killing his own channel off.

    But then again maybe BT are supplying the money?

    History shows us AJ takes on all challengers.

    After 21 fights Fury had fought Kevin Johnson and Steve Cummingham. After 21 fights AJ had 3 belts and fought Parker and Wlad.

    Hearn and AJ are not running scared of any version of Tyson Fury
