Matchroom secure 20+ dates on sky sports, malony a few,Hatton none. Manipulation ?

The article is pure speculation at this point

 

Ricky's got one more big fight left in him.

Maybe Ricky and Eddie made a bet on Brook/Matt Hatton.

 

**** knows. I just pay my tenner...but I'd guess the foreign cards have to be paid for. The promoters generally hold the overseas rights for those, not the "home" TV channel.

 

I reckon Adam Smith discriminates against fat promoters. This is why Hennessy can't get on SKY.

 

They are impoving all the time the Quigg-Munroe card looks quality so dropping them now would be strange.It looks like Price might of saved Maloney.I think the Hattons deserved 8-10 shows a year.

 

I would be surprised if they don't renew the Hatton contract. Firstly, they will want to keep hold of Quigg. The Hatton shows have been of good quality, they have a nice stable of fighters, and I think Sky like being able to say they have Ricky on their network.

Now, if it is the case, it would be deplorable. It sounds to me though that somebody just found a loose thread, kept pulling it at, and seen where it took them.

 

A giant mansion on top a mountain amongst the clouds.

Hearn is standing at the end of a long table flanked by his fighters.

He raises a glass with the echoes of laughter.

'First Sky..... THEN THE WORLD!!!'

 

the article is pure speculation. i got a feeling they will have free slots for any promoter also. Hatton, Coldwell, Woods etc.

I beleive sky is changing it approach and only putting on big shows from now on. 3 fights cards the minimum. big arena shows.

Hatton Promotions biggest ever card is Quigg vs Munroe and its going ahead in the Velodrome.

why is this bad for boxing. all the fighters under one roof we have a UFC effect, the best fighting the best and eddie is prepared to take risks with his fighters.

 

got a feeling theres a few Fwank fighters out of contract soon.

 

6-8 of them will be prizefighters won't they?

He's got:
Rees
Froch
Brook
Barker
McCloskey
Frampton
Not gonna be a great ask if they headline 2 each in a year.

 

Maybe there will be a different deal for Friday nights or even a more regular wid week bouts?
Match room are rewarded with Sarurday nights while the others put on the occasional other show alongside Prizefighter.

I know it's been mentioned about filling out the cards but in Olympic year we aren't going to be going short of filler, development fights, to plump up a card.

Maybe Boxnation has awoken the sleeping giant into giving Boxing a stage in the hope that it still can get the publics interest. If interesting matches are made at the higher levels, domestic contenders lined up against each other alongside the next generation, it could be a worthwhile package.

 

Hearn hasn't got enough decent fighters to cover 20 shows in a ten month period

 

thats not right what they are doing to hatton promotions!
They deserve better

 

I would also like to see them give a small allotment (one or two dates) to some of the good smaller promoters. I think it's a strategy which would serve them well to. It would be like a supershow for these guys and they would really go all out to put together the best card they could and feature all their top fighters.

It would also mean that Sky would be building more fighters and if something special was emerging from it, they could bring them along accordingly.
