    I've heard its TR.
    I heard Shalom mentioning something more going fwd with top rank too, only a couple of days after the chap told me about TR going to Sky. Maybe the guy who told me has his wires crossed.
    Would like MR back at Sky tbh.
    We really need Sky to stay in boxing and Eddie's a safe bet to make it work.

    I believe within the next 12 - 18 months DAZN will be the exclusive platform for Riyadh Season events.

    If they still exist in 18 months time.
    These things change so quickly in boxing anything could happen.
    The saudi oil money could always stop.

    It's possible no doubt as there is two different deals on the table remember.

    The recent DAZN Riyadh Season deal press release clearly said DAZN will be the exclusive worldwide streaming partner in the future. In the US for example Riyadh Season will land on DAZN for streaming so no ESPN+ but still be available on ESPN lineal TV PPV.

    Easy to forget that Lineal PPV is a separate platform. When it comes to the UK PPV distribution Sky box office is undeniably the clear leader. I don't think it's that wild to think Sky could become the exclusive PPV UK TV distributor. I would love to know the recent PPV number splits between TNT/SKY/DAZN just so we had a clearer picture when talking about this topic

    With Queensbury leaving TNT who knows if TNT will be even involved with PPV events once Queensbury land on DAZN. When you think about it you are only going from two UK TV PPV distributors to one distributor at the end of the day.

    Walking away from lineal PPV TV distribution towards streaming only seems very unlikely to me.

    It's a good thing. No more suing for a few harsh words, no more fleecing fighters, no more defending duckers, no more shoulder rolls when pressed hard. Look on the bright side! At least he doesn't have to spend nearly FORTY MILLION SOVS getting the likes of WHYTE into the ring. You watch BIG BEN TAKE OVER.

    I’m disappointed. I enjoy watching boxing on TNT. I won’t be paying for DAZN again after the awful value for money I got with my last 12 month contract. Almost zero UK shows worth watching.
    With AJ & Fury out the game in the next 2 years and boxing on a niche app the sport could be dead in this country.

    DAZN will be the global broadcaster, but does that include the UK too?

    I mean the chinese football league started off well with that money and went under just as fast.
    Same with that rich Anzhi Machakhala owner who brought Eto’o on 20 mil per year a decade or so ago.It didnt even last 1 season.
    These rich guys get bored fast man hence why many enjoy the company of some gorgeous trans girls after conquering all the cis girl world.

    I don't think the Chinese or transexual examples are comparable. The Chinese may have got bored and it isn't unusual for some men to later discover that they are gay. There is a long-term vision and these are only the formative stages.
