    -The MTK tournaments

    -Spence vs Porter

      Eddie Hearn is in bed with Comosa AG, Eddie Hearn is a stated co-promoter of the MTK tournaments, and Errol Spence Jr is a known star with history with the Sky Sports audience in the UK (particularly the Sky Box Office performance against Kell Brook in Sheffield).

      What are you talking about?

        You obviously lack the intelligence to comprehend what’s happening.

        Matchroom have an exclusive deal with Sky.

        All these events are not Matchroom events.

        DAZN will eventually want to launch in the UK, likely when the Sky’s deal with Matchroom expires.

        Would Matchroom choose DAZN or Sky? It would likely be DAZN.

        Are Sky slowly transitioning into the post-matchroom era?

          It contradicts a lot of the the exclusive deal with Matchroom. I can’t remember the last time Sky put on a domestic card that didn’t have Matchroom as the lead promoter.

          If DAZN launches in the UK, surely Matchroom couldn’t remain with both.

            They've done it before. They broadcast the Fury-Klitschko fight despite neither of them being with Matchroom.

              That’s a foreign card though, the Spence-Porter example isn’t unusual tbf.

              When was the last time you seen domestic cards that weren’t lead promoted by Matchroom?

                What domestic fights are Sky showing? The MTK stuff?

                    I stand to be corrected...
                    but to my knowledge, the last time a sky showed a domestic card that was not lead promoted by Matchroom was June 2012.

                    The fact that Sky are now using other promoters is an interesting development and also great for British boxing.
