    Asking fans on there facebook page what fights they should show.

    "Okay, that was a good first weekend of boxing with more to follow this week. Now is the time to suggest fights to us. Can you give us details such as who, when, why it is available and I will go a hunting!"

    My suggestions were;

    October 2nd - Paul McCloskey vs. Barry Morrison, 12 rounds, for McCloskey's European junior welterweight title

    October 17th - Lucian Bute vs. Jesse Brinkley, 12 rounds, for Bute's IBF super middleweight title

    October 30th - Sebastian Sylvester vs. Mahir Oral, 12 rounds, for Sylvester's IBF middleweight title

    November 6th - Juan Manuel Lopez vs. Rafael Marquez, 12 rounds, for Lopez's WBO featherweight title

    November 27th - Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Michael Katsidis, 12 rounds, for Marquez's Ring/WBO/WBA lightweight title

    December 11th - Tournament semifinals: Vic Darchinyan vs. Abner Mares, 12 rounds, bantamweights; Yonnhy Perez vs. Joseph Agbeko, rematch, 12 rounds, for Perez's IBF bantamweight title

    December 18th - Jean Pascal vs. Bernard Hopkins, 12 rounds, for Pascal's Ring/WBC light heavyweight title

    its not realistic. they gave it to itv for free to build a relationship and keep khans profile up.

    they will take big money from sky, or low money/nothing from itv.

    if sky come along its theres but Khans camp can hardley keep giving it to itv for free forever, if they dont make a deal with sky soon then i can see them looking to the biggest bidder similar to what calzaghe did with setanta.

    The McCloskey fight will be shown live on RTE.IE to all over the world so if they dont get it you will get it there.
    They could get a deal with RTE to show whatever cards they show over here for little or nothing for the Peters cards.
    I wouldnt mind seeing the German boxing again but the money could be a stumbling block. They may well find it cheaper getting the rights for the American fights that Sky dont want. For as much as we know they could be going in at the last possible time for the rights of the fights in the US if Sky dont want to show the fights and are getting them cheaper. Also with Hennessy maybe staying with them and doing some bills it could well get another promotion on board from somewere else that we dont know about.

    It's great there going after boxing which wouldn't be shown but that facebook page seems a bit unprofessional. They are asking for fights to show, the name of the promoter and American feed. Shouldn't they have someone who knows this? I just hope Premier sports doesn't go the way of Setanta.

    I am almost certain it is a exclusive deal with RTE so I am not too sure how they would work out if it is a exclusive deal. I would expect RTE would want some money from it as they use there cameras to film the fights.

    pretty sure the promoter will own all the rights for international broadcasting.

    HBO don't take a cut from Goldenboy when sky show a Juanma Marquez fight.
