    What is the big domestic fight this weekend on Boxnation the Homeless Home of Boxing?

    That is an unfair question.

    How many big domestic fights on Boxnation in the previous 12 months excluding Tyson Fury?

    The answer can be found by counting some of the testicles in a sac. :lol::lol:

    Big Abdul now feels that Sky's monopoly of sport is in danger now with more and more football on BT.

    He thinks it is only a matter of time before BT seriously plunder other sports including cricket and boxing.

    What does Fast Car think about this? Surely having an hour a week to promote fights on TV is better than any online coverage? Why is boxing being singled out in this way?

    Boxing is a marginal sport. Look at the viewing figures for non-PPV bouts.

    That said, this is a horrific decision.

    Wouldn't be shocked if something else replaces this in the new year, like it or not it's an excellent way of promoting a fight, PPVs especially
