    This still hasn't been confirmed and it isn't sky's style to pick fights up late. Hearn said there would be boxing on sky for the next two Saturdays last week and is beginning to unfulfill promises.

    I agree , what can we do? maybe start an online petition ?
     
  3. Was thinking this earlier they like to be able to advertise early but Hearn did say 2 weekends unless and this is a big if they are going to get huck afolabi

    No scrap that because of the time and the bellew angle it will only be Dawson

    Ask USA rob is best

    Sky's boxing coverage is becoming worse and worse. Why not just pick up Dawson V Stevenson not like it is going to cost them much to buy it

    Still time to pick this up- decent enough fight to warrant highlights being shown.

    Sky and Matchroom should be showing this because bellew is fighting the winner. It's ridiculous.

    Tells you two things: Sky recognise how terrible Dawson is to watch. The Sports team isn't that fussed in Bellew since every fight he's had on Sky has been abysmal.
     
  9. Sky have shown in the last 2 years off the top of my head

    Ward Dawson
    Bute graechev
    Garcia morales 1
    Kirkland angulo
    Lopez Ortiz
    Golovkin proksa(matchroom fighter)

    There were probaly a few more( Ortiz berto?) but the bute fight was solely because of frochs rematch clause and a couple of others were golden boy who now work with boxnation
    And to their credit when they show them they show quite a few fights off the card
    They are just not interested In international content despite Adam smiths claims
    They might pick up ggg macklin though as they had Martinez macklin

    Seems odd they wouldn't advertise this sooner if they have it, logical to assume they won't pick it up.

    Same with Afolabi/Huck. Why does boxing continually shoot itself in the foot.

    4 fight cards on in one night and only two currently have TV.

    It was Kessler/Magee.
     
  13. Yeah Kessler green was boxnation

    But if you were to make a list of every show by boxnation you would be here all day
    At times they have done 3 in one night

    Now I know the argument it's a boxing channel v sports channel but we are talking boxing and boxnation is the mutts nuts

    How is it? This fight is irrelevant, they dont have to pick it up if they dont want to! Bellew faces the winner and they will show that fight if it happens. They dont NEED or HAVE to acquire Stevenson vs. Dawson.

    Besides, Bellew isnt guaranteed a shot after the last two performances (so I heard) and anyway, he aint had his Eddie special final eliminator yet so..... :deal
