    This report claims they are not done with boxing but will be picking up events rather than having an exclusive deal with a promoter. Big fights are what's valuable to the broadcaster so makes sense.

    It is understood that while Sky Sports are still in discussions with Boxxer, their future strategy will likely see them pick up individual rights for big fights from a range of promoters.

      Sky normally covers Top Rank / ESPN fights, big or small. But I think they didn't cover last night's fight, Mason/Nakathila, if I'm not wrong.

          Earn with Hearn and Matchroom on Sky Sports was peak boxing. Dazn isn't good. In fact, Nash Rules state that any fight fought only on Dazn is a no-contest. A fight has to be on a real channel, like Sky Sports and whatever the American equivalent is. Saudi Arabia fights are also NC, so Tyson Fury is unbeaten.

          Eddie Hearn needs to relaunch Sky/Matchroom 2.0 and launch it with a headline PPV of Hughie Fury vs Derek Chisora with Froch vs Groves vs Calzaghe (3 men enter 1 man wins) as co-main. This channel and night sells itself. Nash out - His Majesty

            Is gonna be PPV only, they’ll simply just purchase fights to stick behind a paywall. Boxing is no longer part of their regular subscription portfolio from what zi was told anyway.
