    Barkers got a euro defence on the same night which will no doubt be on sky, guessing the fury fight and Theophane defence will be on premier or something unless sky do a split site show

    It is shocking that Sky won't show this because it's on a Hennesey show,

    What is sky's issue with him?

    In the past he's been on matchroom bills but not sure how it will stand as it's an independent henessey show

    Probably primetime?

    It's on the same night as Khan's HBO date so it's possible it could be doubled up on Primetime. If not I'd expect it to be on Premier I suppose.

    Will this fight stand alone or having a supporting undercard?

    Can't imagine too many people paying up for the single itself.

    When was the last time you saw a stand alone fight?

    Ash Theopane has said he's on the undercard.

    I'm not sure where this will end up to be honest.

    Wasn't the winning bid for this one pretty hefty?

    I can't see the Khan's willing to concede such a large amount of money for a UK leg.... bearing in mind the potentially low buy rate for a 5am ''main event''.

    Plus they'll be H2H with Sky, Matchroom will no doubt be eager to showcase some of their young talent on the bill too.

    Primetime makes sense for fights abroad using the host broadcast as it's nearly all profit. The production costs for a UK bill and purses etc will be a pretty big outlay against what is likely to be a mediocre gate.

    This could prove disastrous for Big Mick. He's a desperate man who has fallen from grace in part due to bad fortune and his own incompetence/mistakes.

    He will, by today/tommorow.

    Well, it is Fat Mick. I thought he may only have a couple fighters left, so there was a possibility.

    If Mick did a joint deal to get Barker's fight along with the little undercard fights at Wembley, topped with Theopane/TBA and Fury/Chisora, then Peterson/Cayo and Khan/Judah in the US, it would have made for a good Sky PPV.

    Oh well.

    Why does fat Mick keep shelling out money on Fury? Everybody knows he will leave him in the next 12 months.
