Not that I'm complaining about them about showing Ward v Dawson. I just mean why are they showing Ward v Dawson and not Martinez v Chavez Jnr which for spectators would be the better fight to watch. Does it come down to the simple fact that it was cheaper to show this fight than Martinez v Chavez Jnr or is it because Sky feel Froch could end up fighting Ward or Dawson in the future???
I'm pretty sure Sky had plenty of time to get the rights to the fight before Primetime purchased them.
Since Sky have now lowered there boxing budget they will have guidelines to what they believe the fight is worth and they have done that and bidded X amount but Primetime have offered more
I think it is a money thing because I'm sure they would have preferred to show Martinez-Chavez with Macklin on the undercard although perhaps they like pairing it with Bellew to try a get more people to watch that
It's the same night as Bellew/Miranda so they'll use the "Bellew could face the winner down the line" angle.
:deal This However pitching Bellew with Dawson or Ward would be the same as putting in Dale Winton with Prime Mike Tyson
I agree...But that Venus chap who posts on here is seriously a top guy and despite the flak the gets on here is always helpful and knowledgeable...Boxnation should snap him up
