Sky set to slash boxing budget by 50%

Just in case anyone still wasn't sure:

Sky Sports News @SkySportsNews
Big announcement from Carl Froch on #SSN from 1pm.

 

Nathan Cleverly to star in a Sky-based rival to countdown

 

So is Boxnation, I can't afford all of these pints!

 

I'm sick of all this talk of it only costs the same as a pint a day/week/month etc - all it is doing is making me think, **** that's right, I could cancel and buy and extra pint a day/week/month

 

any ideas about annoucement? not PPV is it

 

It is most likely the Froch v Bute coverage given Eddie Hearn has just posted the same pointer on his Twitter.

I'm hearing these whispers, but nobody who could cooberrate the 50% cut thing. But the Sky boxing figures are poor it would seem, Brook v Hatton aside, and that took a lot of leg-work to draw that crowd.

 

So Froch is announcing the Harrison fight I know both there fights are on the same day and all but why Froch ?.

 

*******s.

 

something benneficial can turn from it (hopefully).

Prizefighter will certainly be gone..

 

How I hate Prizefighter. But if anything that will probably be the thing that stays.

 

:huh Prizefighter is big on Sky.

These rumours don't really mean much seeing as we don't know what the budget is spent on. As has been mentioned tons of times on here, they do often have way too many pundits and used to show some really **** Frankie W fights.

I wonder how much it costs to put up those boomerang stats :think

 

That's a shame if he was only banned for wanting to discuss boxing on TV tbh. Who are the mods to say what people should talk about as long as it's within the rules? ****ing totalitarian mods up in this *****.

 

Alan Shearer gets paid 300k a year to struggle to say a complete sentence on MOTD and deliver analytical gems like 'He's got a free header, someone should've picked him up'

Makes you wonder what Sky are paying their pundits for boxing.

 

How much do SKY pay for Johnny Nelson's reading lessons?

 

However much it is, it's too much.
