    It wouldn't surprise me if they did do a deal regarding boxing too but right now, it's not much of a story. Could be good though, if Hearn went to BoxNation as well.

    O Sullivan is going to be happy. He has wanted this for ages.

    Link doesn't work for me.

    I hope they do a deal on the boxing, getting matchroom on Boxnation would be good as we'd be getting pretty much all of the boxing under one roof. Will save me more pennys

    You had that with Sky until Fwank ****ed off. Minus the odd German and American card. To be honest Fwank is going to find it hard to get the numbers needed to make this work. He already has out goings for all the German and US cards on top of that they have to pay for all the UK shows production costs which will run into the millions every year.

    The odd German and US card?

    Sky were showing about 4 a year. Now we're getting 4+ a month.

    Will it? Please tell me how you sourced this rather surreal estimate. TV production is costly but not THAT costly.

    Anyway, Sky were charging £50 a month for a fight or two a week, plus £15 for PPVs. You also had to put up with bollocks like Ringside and Johnny "wanker" Nelson. BoxNation are doing the same for £10 a month, admittedly we do have to suffer Richard Keys, but we get Bunce.
