    Surely int. Rights are a revenue stream he must consider?

    An ITV highlights package would be a possibility given the UK time of the cards. Would be a good way for boxing to get back onto ITV regularly.

    I have always been curious about this-do a large number of boxing fans actually stay up until 4 in the morning to watch these fights?
    I find this so hard to believe,but I may be wrong.

    Primetime (when they around) usually got around 40k-60k buys for their American events.

    So there is an audience but not a massive one.

    Cheers-I suspected it was only the hard core boxing fan who would torture themselves to watch a fight at this un-Godly hour.:good

    Sky+ can make it a whole lot easier! For the Boxnation stuff (I don't have Sky+ in my flat), they usually show a complete repeat at 10am the next day so I catch that. Sky do something similar but it's edited which bugs me

    He's freelance from what I can remmember.

    Haymon is also running shows on Spike TV in the States. Viacom own Spike TV so it would seem logical that Channel 5 would at least have first refusal on the those rights.

    Always watched in the middle of the night, but since Sky+ I enjoy watching in the morning and whizzing through all the padding. I used to hate it in the middle of the night watching the same clips which have been played to death in the weeks before
