    After a couple more fights each to build up more hype. Maybe the winner will fight Wlad with the vacated WBC belt :-( on the line.

    Maloney's cards are usually poor, just like Hatton's were. Sky are right to punish them for that, even if it's the boxers who are the ones who suffer the most. I just hope Price is able to sign with Matchroom because they'll progress his career far better than Maloney will.

    1/12 is not good enough.

    Sky made it clear in 2010. You all have 2 years to deliver. Maloney and Hatton did not.

    I thought we already knew this as Hatton also got dropped. I find it shocking considering some of the fighters around - Quigg, Munroe, Rhodes, Price etc Sky should be trying to help make these fights.

    Hopefully BN, 5 etc step in. Hopefully not Premier Sports cos I can't buy ANOTHER pay channel. I already spend over 100 quid a month.

    Maybe alot of co-promotions will arise with HEarns as lead promoter.

    Is this budget cut going to mean no international fights being shown ? I know they have the Ortiz fight but Mayweather's and Pacquiao's last fights....

    It seems the younger Hearn has set his sights firmly on becoming British boxings biggest promoter and his dads links with sky seem to be taking care of the opposition. I'm sure after the work he's done with Froch they'll be a fair few fighters jumping ship to his stable in the near future providing he can keep himself out of the ring in future fights and not risk DQs that is!

    Sky have been hyping David Price for the last year, no chance they 'drop him'

    Price seems an intelligent guy, he won't fight on Boxnation, he'll sign with Matchroom, with Maloney as his manager.
