      Shalom putting a brave face on but it's a massive blow if Sky don't back their own promoter.

      The reality is that noone really cares about this fight, even UK casuals.

        And they're the only promoter on Sky Sports or TNT Sports. Just lost their USA streaming partner Pea****. Their recent event Azim/Lipinets had to be shown on TrillerTV+.

        Boxxer needs to find a better broadcaster and fast.

          I've not seen a single person claiming it's the biggest fight in British boxing history. Where did you see or hear that?

            It is a Ring card. So far im sure in the UK every Turki card has been broadcast by all 3 Sky TNT DAZN. Sky will def show it

              I was a little suprised but in retrospect understand why sky may be reluctant to be involved . One fighter failed two drugs tests during the first attempt at making it , the other got down to 159lbs and the very experienced father , Eubank Sr. (from whom along with Nigel is the main ingredient this rubbish is happening at all) said that they were trying to 'murder my son' as Chris Jr looked like a deadman walking . Naturally they are three weight divisions apart , one at the start of his career the other at the end. Although Conor has been given permission to fight and Chris has the extra three pounds at 160lb , I can clearly see why Sky are reluctant to put their name to this freak show and they have put some shyte on in the past. I'm all for these guys , earning money in this game but for me it stinks and it seems Sky can smell it too.

                The people "who know absolutely nothing" said it.

                    I certainly would applaud Sky for not participating in this garb
