    I think they would, and privleged cuck Ben Shalom would just step aside and disapear back to wherever he suddenly appeared out of nowhere from :lol:

    That's why eddie had the balls to leave and chance it with Dazn. Cause he knew Sky love him and his family, and he can always go back there if it doesn't work out.

    If Eddie brings Joshua yes. If Eddie has no big PPV fighters under contract then no

    Hopefully the death of DAZN UK will be quick and Sky/BT Sports open up to all promoters.

    Makes sense for all UK promoters to work together to produce better cards and fights or the sport will fall further behind the cartoon show on DAZN UK tonight.

    This. People judge him because he doesn't have Eddie's motormouth banter or Frank's shoulder-rolling attitude but as a promoter he's not doing a lot wrong.

    He's clearly in Sky's back pocket too, why would they swap for another promoter with their own business?

    Hopefully not, he ****ed off with his stable and sought bigger things and it didn't quite work out so **** him, sky are much bigger than him and would be mad to let him back in.

    It's not as one-sided as that. Sky were daft enough (or forward-thinking enough, take your pick) to go exclusive with one promoter, and left themselves wide open to this happening. The fact they did it with the most money-savvy, ambitious promoter in the UK made it inevitable.

    It's to theirs and Shalom's credit they have regular decent-level boxing on the telly now at all.

    Once bitten twice shy springs to mind, it would be a massive mistake to bring him back, i am looking forward to more great fights where the promoters work together and get fights done, not ones who chuck their toys out of the pram for a quid.

    I think there's no chance they would. Tbh they've worked with all the big 3 promoters but I just don't think they would after it was all so public. Plus Shalom seems to be building well. I know he comes from money etc but so does Hearn so can't hold that against him. I do think it would be good if Warren came back to Sky with his stable.

    I can't remember his first year (Hearn's) but I agree Shalom's has been good. He's fronted it all well too. Seems very calm throughout.

    Sky and BT have been just as bad as DAZN with some of the content they have put on PPV recently…
