    I think BoxNation's rivals are determined to bring it down. Well certainly Eddie Hearn and SKY. That's why they got involved with Bellew/Mcintosh. Eddie is also responsible for getting Macklin/Martinez on SKY - he's boasting about it on twitter.

    They creation of BoxNation has upset a lot of people. It made them very jealous. They are now fighting back.

    Boxnation only exists because a certain promoter got pissed off at Sky pulling the plug on PPV.

    Hearn is doing the right thing and taken ******'s old slots and built his network up.

    Mayweather vs Cotto will not be part of the deal or they would have mentioned it. Niether are Goldenboy fighters.

    This should just mean Box Nation also steps up its game by bringing everything else that Sky do not show. Hopefully they pick up a contract with Top Rank.

    If Boxnation was a long-term investment they should have secured deals like this with the major US promoters from the start, not just a few fights in the free period.

    Whatever happened to this deal? I guess it was a deal for Feb and March 2012 and nothing else.
