    Hearing Sky Sports are done with boxing.

    Both Boxxer’s and TR’s deals end with Sky at some point this year. They won’t be getting renewed and Sky will no longer be showing boxing as part of your sports subscription. I suspect they still do PPV’s like the Saudi shows.

      Can't say I'm suprised.

      They were due to do the same in 2012. Seemed AJ winning Gold made them change their mind. Have no reason to now.

          Can't stand Dazn. Was much better when Earn with Hearn and Matchroom were with Sky. Hearn went out blew about 1 billion on 1 foot in retirement Golovkin and Mikey Garcia, that worked out well! Earn with Hearn needs to return to Sky Sports, and leave that silly, unreliable App. Nash out - His Majesty

            Whenever anyone here writes "hearing rumours" it usually means random Twitter accounts or their favourite YouTube clout chaser.

                TR yes. Boxxer may as well just shut up shop.

                  It’s from a good source. He’s worked for BSkyB for a long time.

                    Warren launching Boxnation forced them back into the boxing market too. I think they expected to just be able to cherry pick Queensberry shows to stick behind a pay wall. Obviously worked out well for them as Sky along with Matchroom essentially stole that entire Queensberry roster.
