    I might be the only one, but I don't see a problem with the upcoming schedules for either BoxNation or Sky Sports. There's not many upcoming cards that we're missing. I do worry that Sky seem to be pulling out of the big international cards though.

    Oh ok, I was reading Wallet's thread. Even then, I hate the intervals. Like nothing from the 1st to the 18th! It's killing me already!!

    Hardly two shows a week though is it? That said, they'll pick up more overseas cards soon to pad out the schedule.

    How much more is there to show though?

    GGG/Rosado on 19th is the only one that springs to mind.

    Burns has a fight at end of feb and Clev is fighting march 16th so there will be more shows.

    FW should have done a deal with Goodwin rather than letting primetime have them.

    I don't have a problem with what's on offer from Sky. I've got Boxnation and Sky Sports and between them I'm more than happy.

    The question I have will the Rees and Kel fight be classed as 2 fights for Matchroom. With both fights in the US could they say to Sky listen thats a over seas fight. And they are going to show 20 live fights from the UK it depends on how there deal is worded. I would love to see them doing a double header. A bill with a fight card in the UK on each night but that might be hard to sort out.

    ALL THOSE PRICKS WHO ARE SAYING 3 CARDS ARE ALL EDDIE/SKYFANBOYS. Buy boxnation & Watch the sky fights in pubs or at mates.

    to be honest i am quite happy with sky's boxing.

    i love the whole production / package of a matchroom card, and when you consider the previously shown 'friday fight nights' have now basically gone to Loaded (who are planning on showing 12 fights a year), and the vast majority with sky sports will have access to Loaded we haven't really lost many fights.

    we now have the standard decent british title hall shows on Loaded and then cards featuring the likes of froch, brook, frampton, bellew or a combination, plus the usual support acts like purdy, barker etc on skysports.

    quite happy atm to be honest

    Actually, the first 3 months from Sky have some decent fights IMO. I'm not a BN hater but I've cancelled it now, I think their domestic fights are totally worthless.. some of the Golden Boy stuff is good but not sure it's worth paying for during the dry months.

    Steve Goodwin doesn't want his shows on BoxNation. I believe Goodwin has a show on Eurosport in the next few months.
