Boxing is about building characters and exposing boxers from the beginning of their careers to the casual fans and boxing fans. Atleast Frank ****** builds fighters, he builds characters. Who has Eddie Hearn built..? Carl Froch..? no...he robbed him. And he is trying to robbed David Price.... Boxnation & Frank ****** are better for boxing. Because its giving exsposure to boxers at the beginning of their careers, no marks that would never be invited on ringside.
By being watched by 10 thousand people? :rofl As opposed to being watched by 100 thousand plus on Sky...
Better 10 thousand than none, BN isnt better for boxing than Sky, but if it wasnt about we'd only have Hearn and Fat Mick on tele... competition is good, but the oldies cant "up their game" if they have no platform for their fighters.
I can't believe people are actually in favour of this monopolist BS. We've moved from Hearn + others and their array of fighters, to a situation of the one true King Hearn, and the prospect of a troupe of Olympians (and that's not even certain, will the young Selby sigh with Hearn? I think not), who we're going to have to wait three years to see in a meaningful fight. And this is a good thing?! Still there's always prizefighter, decaying gracelessly as it drags itself along well beyond the limits of its use-by date.
Its not like Hearn has a monopoly though, there is still Boxnation and 5 whuch are showing boxing, sky are just showing better boxing
He has a Sky monopoly, that's the whole crux of the issue. Sky are showing better boxing? Really? Irrespective of where the action comes from, Boxnation, since its inception, has urinated copiously over Sky in terms of bigger and better cards.
Sky has better Uk boxing by far, Boxnation may put shows on every week but they are mostly crap and mismatches, sky on the other hand are showing a much higher of boxing and getting the viewing figures to show it is working
The clue was in the quote. I'd take Boxnation's overseas coverage since its commencement over the totality of Sky's boxing coverage for the same period; in a heartbeat. Sky is selling Boxing down the river. F1, that non-athletic monstrosity which masquerades as a sport has sealed its doom.
