Big Abdul was discussing this with us in the pub about 2 weeks ago. [url]http://www.*****.net/2015/05/12/news/editor-s-view-fans-frustration-over-sky-boxing-coverage-grows[/url] S****ping the solo Hearn promoter deal would be a good start.
good to see someone else other than you pro is noticing the **** cards, and hopefully this encourage eddie to put on better cards the Manchester card doesn't look to bad at present with quigg and crolla in competitive fights, ** not watched crolla's opponent but he looks good on paper with rocky fielding vs vera, c smith vs rebrasse and hopefully bellew vs someone decent the Liverpool cards looking ok too at present, so at least its a step in the right direction.
i think Eddie Hearn has been great for boxing in general over the last few years but hes had a very poor last 6 months. Over protective of a lot of his guys.
that article is basically dissing Sky and promoting Boxnation, glad to see your supporting BoxNation now Pro Punter
I think it is hard to defend Eddie now after creating regular PPV for the mediocre and providing fortnightly canfests on Sky Sports. My views on Boxnation remain unchanged and I think it would only work if all UK promoters were committed to the channel with PPV fights only chargeable to non subscribers. As for Sky, all that is happening with the current offering is the loss of high numbers of potential fans to the sport. The solo matchroom deal has failed the Sky Sports subscribers due to the lack of quality fights. With the exception of a few fights, your average fight on Boxnation and Sky has been very poor over the previous 12 months. Boxnation is losing money and Eddie Hearn is making money from Sky while producing shyte cards. Both positions are not sustainable.
