    I did wonder if Sky were apprehensive about putting money into other fights due to their deal with Hearn.

    It seems strange how they didn't pick up Klitschko v Fury rematch or Khan v Canelo. I don't think either will do massive numbers but they're still massive fights in the world of boxing and still do bigger numbers and generate more money than pretty much all Matchroom events apart from AJ. You don't just give up business to your nearest rival in terms of broadcasting boxing if there's money to be made. I know you can't show every fight but these fights are 2 of the biggest this year in boxing and involving British fighters, you would think they might make an effort to secure it.

    BoxNation is showing way better fights these days. Well worth the subscription.
    Sky were regulars in showing GGG and Kovalev too and now they can't even do that.

    Skysports has been hammered with the champions league deal, problems with not showing enough PL football and now are being made to look like **** in the boxing department. I'm glad in a way because the sky monopoly on sports is coming to an end. In a couple years, I think it won't even be worth it for the football or cricket.
