Top Rank to DAZN - Where does that leave Sky ?

It's hard to see how it can't go up, unless the Saudis are happy to have a huge "marketing budget"

 

Is there global demand for Price v Jonas type cards?

Cannot see Pepe in Porto having a good night on the lash interrupted to watch a stream of Price v Jonas.

 

I've enjoyed them and am not happy to hear that the deal will be ending. To be honest they're the best boxing on Sky now since the quality of the Boxxer shows has been disappointing. I could record the Top Rank shows and I found their coverage pretty decent. If I avoided the results (main event difficult but undercard not so much) I could watch them during the week.

It's not great news for the boxing fan, or at least for this one. Sky's output has got progressively worse and there's aspects of their production now I really dislike, that's before you get to the quality of cards Boxxer are putting on. Then there's Frank taking his shows, which have been far better, over to DAZN, leaving next to no decent boxing on the two main sports channels.

I know I could get DAZN, but I really don't want to. I didn't like their coverage when I was a subscriber, hated the interface and after the Conor Benn fiasco don't want to support them financially. However it seems like they plan to acquire all of boxing so it will increasingly be them or nothing.
