Sky Sports boxing schedule

Post by leforge »

Just looking on sky the live fights lists does not look very good at the moment. In fact looks very poor why is there no fight on January 15th? http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12947,00.html

There are never that many cards in January due to it being straight after Christmas. A promoter would find it very hard to fill a venue.

looking on the boxrec shedule theres plenty of small hall shows on , maybe sky should give the slots that the big guys dont want to the smaller promotors , be a good way tp give other boxers some exposure , id watch it , might get the chance to fighters ive not seen before

I was looking at the York Hall schedule out of curiosity and noticed that the Webb card & Daws card are on the same night - They're both decent main events, which genius booked the same date? I'd imagine only one will be shown on TV.

You would watch it, I would watch it and a handful of hardcore boxing fans would watch it but the casual fan wouldn't watch it so it wouldn't be worth Sky's time and money to broadcast a card where 'prospects' outpoint journeymen with records of 5-50.
