I see Eddie is trying to get into Al Haymon's good books so Warren does not pinch Dirrell vs Degale. Very crap fight. Bika has tons of heart and determination but fights like a caveman trying to crack open a nut with a big stick.

Hearn doesn't run sky

No he does not. But it is well known he negotiates and delivers most of the fights for them as the head promoter of the channel like cutting a deal with Sauerland Event to show their fights on Sky Sports and Matchroom fight pass his online subscription service of the fights he can't get on the TV. I was just bringing up what Kugan Cassius hinted as he thought there was a good chance Dirrell vs Degale could be on Boxnation as they had a 3 fight deal with Al Haymon so they was in his good books for future fights. Now they have jumped in on a random and irrelivant fight in Stevenson vs Bika.

Spot on there! Why anyone would want to sit up to watch this fight is beyond me.

You don't have to sit up, it's an afternoon fight in the US and the live undercard on CBS starts at 3 pm ET, that's 8 pm in the UK if I'm not mistaken.
