Comments Thread For: Price is Not Right as Sky Sports Ditch Frank Maloney

[Cloud]

id like to see him sign with the same network as fury.

Channel 5.

It's a shame ITV and BBC don't bother even mentioning boxing anymore...

Real shame if that happens. I'm surprised because Adam Smith has done a great job with the boxing on Sky (Ringside, helping to get boxing fights back on Sky, etc) but I hope this doesn't mean that Hatton & Maloney go & sign with Boxnation. **** that & Frank Warren.

I'd love to see Hatton & Maloney stick two fingers up at Warren & sign with Channel 5 or (something I highly doubt) go with BBC or ITV.

Hatton could have the best chance of bringing boxing back to BBC or ITV because of his profile. (so long as it's marketed correctly).

Really hope Boxnation doesn't get their fighters/fights.

To be fair apart from the froch fight sky sports shows have been pssh poor.

Been some cracking fights on boxnation to be fair to ol bug eyes

cant see him showing maloneys shows wouldnt be to shock if maloney retires he was talking about it last year

Price should ditch Maloney and join the Hearns, he needs exposure.

Lets all tweet Adam smith on twitter and flood his inbox with our concerns.

I might get rid of sky sports package then. The two fighters they have left are Carl and Khan and they only fight once every half year anyway. So annoying we have box office, sky sports, channel 5, primetime and box nation. Why cant someone come along and purely cover boxing on 1 channel.

Does anyone know if they're cutting boxing down or just giving the monopoly to Hearns?

Plenty of people are casting doubt on this and rightly so. Sky have been hyping Price for the last year now, they're not just going to drop him.

Initially I was against Boxnation - but if Hatton and Maloney join with Warren then I think it offers a much stronger package along with

Sky has been getting worse and worse and their love in with Hearn is getting ridiculous not allowing any other promoters time.

Boxnation as well as given you the chance to watch the best big money fights, also gives you far more domestic match ups and the chance to see future stars careers grow and develop.

Gareth Davies, in the telegraph, wrote last weeks that it's part of a 50% reduction in their commitment to boxing.
