    Thats a very short sighted view by sky.

    He is potenlaly the biggest name in British boxing.

    Would be ghreat if it went to channel 5.

    So if he goes to 5 the Fury fight can be made?

    they know maloneys game.

    price and maloney are talking about 18 months - 2 years until he challenges a klitschko.

    in the meantime he will be trying to fight garbage on sky and fair play to sky for refusing it

    That could be the plan from sky.After he builds himself to a world level fighter they will swoop in and he will be back on sky.

    I don't know how this date slot thing works, but why did Eddie Hearn get so many slots or whatever as opposed to other promoters?

    Who exactly has he got that can fill said amount of dates? He hasn't exactly got a big stable now, has he?

    They did cut the budget as well - there's not as many dates on offer now (well that's what was reported).

    One of the reasons/excuses offered by the BBC as to why they don't televise boxing.

    Can understand Maloney being dropped by Sky with him only having one marquee name to fill so many dates. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see Price move to Matchroom, unless were going to get Prizefighter every fortnight :hey
