Sky have been very slow on the acquisition of rights lately- they recently lost out to CNN (!!!) for The Match 2 and haven’t acquired for any international football to fill in their schedule. A schedule that no has no netball after their season was cancelled- Adam Smith will be gutted. BT are in a strong position with live sports at the moment so they should pick up these Top Rank shows.
Great news for boxing fans over there and over here. More shows on TV plus it sets a precedent for Warren and Hearn to put on BCD shows here.
As professional sport can return from 1 June. Is the July commencement over here purely about gyms reopening etc?
Yep, boxing is back! Same old shite matchups but now they have another excuse for it. Can't get excited for this nonsense.
Been dying to get some live boxing back on the telly, but none of they fights are fights to get excited about. Plus I'm hoping I might be back to work next week, and if I am, I won't be staying up til daft o'clock on a Tuesday night/Wednesday morning to watch that dross. But at least we can see some light at the end of the tunnel now.
On the positive side, it can only get better - maybe Hughie Fury in week 2 then build up to more exciting boxthing.
