    Pretty sure it's 2 fights in Europe in the last 24 months, and 5 out of the last 10, but I'm open to correction if anybody knows better. Lee is not fighting over here at the moment and wont be in the near future, so he's not a real prospect for Barker's mandatory.

    7million homes. Around 20million houses in the UK. 7 is 35% of 20.

    Not necessarily, Rob.

    Sky Sports is (relatively) expensive    , if you haven't any interest in any other sport, apart from boxing, then why would you pay for for Sky Sports? Especially as the majority of significant fights are on SBO anyway and the boxing coverage is minimal on SS1, 2 and 3.

    My opinion is that Sky are pricing the average joe out of boxing, making it a small niche that are willing (and able) to foot the bill to watch the fights.
