Sky boxing - Quantity or quality?

he has put on good shows granted, and promoted them extremely well, but recently they havent been great (still early doors) and you could argue that coldwell is putting on better shows but doesnt have tv backing. and tbf its popular to slate Fwank, but he puts on big event, we wanted Haye-Chisora, he delivered and Mitchell-Burns recently, Bellew-Clev etc, albeit on a different channel, and i think it took him being kicked off his sky deal to get some of those fights in action. Why not just have dates that promoters bid for with their shows and sky decide? Why give someone a monopoly and decrease output anyway, we've lost quantity and decent overseas cards and Hearn is stretched atm to deliver the dates on his own

 

Walking Dead is AMC, along with Mad Men and Breaking Bad.

 

fair enough :good i wasnt having a pop just thought it was going to start an argument again

 

Come on Jamie Coldwell shows better than Matchroom??? Thats crazy talk.

 

I was meaning over here, it's FX not Atlantic.
Although if they did pick it up from them along with Dexter there wouldn't be many decent US imports left.

 

Ah right, my apologies. I don't think there are too many that aren't over here.

The only one people haven't mentioned, and the best after Breaking Bad for me, is Justified.

 

Apologies not needed, but we've probably stumbled on another reason for the cuts in boxing budget.
The HBO link up and picking up so many top series from the states will cause belts to be tightened elsewhere. Even between Sport and Entertainment.
Atlantic has certainly paid off.

 

It's certainly attracted a customer base they weren't getting before. Typically, my sister doesn't get it as part of her package. :roll:
