Sky’s boxing content has been disgraceful this year.

    Chisora vs Parker
    Charlie Edwards unification
    Allen vs Price
    Martin Ward vs Stephen Smith (if Ward doesn't get the Garcia fight)

    Yafai, Hearn said the unification fight between him and Nietes was made for this coming Fridays card, but Yafai hurt his hand. Nietes dumped the belt after. I don't know, its always something. So frustrating
    I think it’s unlikely Edwards is getting a unification. Mthalane is fighting in May, Dalakian is fighting in June and I can’t see Tanaka coming over. They should just put him in with his mandatory Martinez

      Not to worry, British boxing is back with a **** this week, please everyone try and remain calm but the HW fight we've all been asking for is going down this Saturday at Wembley. Prepare yourselves....for Daniel Dubois vs Richard Lartey

          Fights like Allen-Browne headlining and now Whyte vs Rivas is on PPV. The standard just gets lower and lower. As a UK boxing fan I’m genuinely embarrassed.

          And then BT’s content has been pretty much non-existent.

          “British boxing is booming though”😂😂😂
          Sky have done a few positive things though. At least they’re now uploading the fights to YouTube the day after. There’s no other fighters to headline other than Callum Smith in the UK, who is fighting in the US. It’s simply a case of too many retiring at an alarming rate, and sky and Matchroom should have seen this coming and had the ‘next wave’ ready

            There’s loads of guys that could headline. Why are B level guys like Whyte suddenly PPV calibre fighter’s?
            If you put Whyte-Rivas on regular Sky Sports you’d hear nothing but positive reviews but the greed of Hearn/Matchroom/Sky prevents that.

              I wonder if Frank regrets handing all his best guys over to Arum to fight in the states yet? I really think Frank's only chance to stay relevant at this point is for Dubois to become his AJ and Gorman to become his Whyte. That stable is looking incredibly thin these days

                  Every time one of his fighter’s loses he ditches them, that’s one reason why his stable is so thin

                    No, the greed of the fighter prevents that. If sky and Matchroom didn’t put it on PPV then Whyte couldn’t get the money he wants and he would be fighting in America making everyone complain even more

                      I disagree I've enjoyed the sheer number of events that have been on sky. Almost a fight every weekend. Quantity over quality is ok for me.
