    Rumour has it Healy pulled out any one got any info.Would have been a tough fight and good test for Power.

    I think that means it will be on Sky only.This year a lot of the big fights involving Peters boxers will be in the north.And rte seem reluctant to broadcast there. So Peters will be looking for tv deals elsewhere.

    i would much rather the fights stayed on rte...so all Ireland can view them...maybe this is the start of rte and peters splitting:good

    yeah i hope healy hasn't pulled out. i read in the limerick leader 2 day's ago that power will be on the undercard of lee's next fight in nyc.

    yeah i agree fra i would like to see mccloskey try to raise his profile to dunne's level and try to get the whole country behind him. I also hope he get's a euro title shot asap. I think he was installed as the mandatory this week so that was good news for him.

    Nevermind the british title defense, unless it is a stay busy fight.McCloskey should be aiming for the Euro Crown.

    I heard before that it costs alot more money for rte to set up and broadcast from NI dont know why, just what i was told so maybe that is a factor or more likely the contract Paul signed for the title fight stipulates his next 2 or 3 must be a sky exclusive.

    i agree mccloskey should just fight barnes then drop the title.

    A message of support to Gary Hyde this weekend. I hope it all works out for him. Podge and Paddy have a good time [don't do anything I wouldn't do:D]

    Finally well done to Cormac and the rest of the team at Irish boxing.com for selling out their awards dinner. I'm looking forward to hearing about it.
