    I think he's always [ut on the odd show on Eurosport, would be surprised if it became his new home.

    Eurosport pays peanuts for fights, so unless it is a smaller card or for unknown fighters I do not seeing it being a regular occurance.

    Eurosport is awful! Be nice if they picked up on some of the Sky rejects, though. I'm getting sick of the way boxing is covered in this country. The **** I see on some channels. Who wants to watch cycling or long distance running, skiing, sailing, gymnastics, pool, golf etc...?

    I don't think boxing on Eurosport is too bad. They usually just have a raw feed with the commentators but that's all you need really.

    Im guessing Eurosprt just dont have the coin for decent regular boxing. Would be great if Hatton heavily promoted some shows and managed to make a bit off the ads if what you say is true.
