allegedly announcement on Monday to "shock the world"

[stevek3lly]

It will take an aweful lot to shock the world. I have been thinking what it could be, but nothing seems to fit the boldness of the statement.

I predict a huge anticlimax coming here.

I've been thinking the exact same thing. I can only assume that he has agreed to show fights from someone like Kahn or Haye or has signed an agreement with another promoter. If that is the case, who can it be? Hearn has already spoken out against it and as I seem to remember Hatton and Warren don't get on so who would that leave? Maloney?, Hennessy? or someone smaller like Coldwell?

Time will tell I guess

Monkey tennis?

Sven otkke vs calzaghe in the milenium stadium this november.
You heard it here first.

Larry Merchant and Granpda Simpson to do live commentary.

[broomy7s]

How can a presenter/commontator whoever it is shock the world. Got a feeling it's Barry Mcguigan as ain't seen him on sky this season thus far and he used to work with Rawling & Rosenthal on itv.

Warren is clare baldings older sister and like clare is a boulder fisted bull dyke.

Best post ever.

Yep. Bang on.

Frank is indeed a 'Fish eyed demon'.

[Hagler2002]

adam smith is joining his team.

So Sky Sports head of boxing is joining another channel. Forgive my sceptecism on that one.

Wishful thinking!!!

Michael Pass is the Elvis Presley. People can't see the wood for the trees.

Michael Pass and Mark Burdis to have an X Factor style sing off for the role of allegedly master of ceremonies.

[smcb80]

seems Top Rank & GoldenBoy have done a deal, could be that Arum has signed onto allegedly as well

Not much of a contest fighting yourself

Will Calazghe now be paid? That would shock the universe!

To be fair, let's set out what Mr Warren has said. We've all been critics from time to time, but here it is.

Free to air until the end of the year.
Thereafter £10.00 per month.
NO PPV
Also includes MMA and Amateurs.
Deals struck with Sauerland and Goldenboy.
Kessler already booked.
Hopkins already booked.
Channel 456 on air 6 hours per day.
Chat show with Buncey.

I don't think that's a bad start.
My worry is that I just can't see how the quality can be sustained to provide coverage of live shows, every Friday and Saturday.
Even if the best are shown Saturday evenings, it's going to be a massive job to service 30 shows per annum.
Even if Lord Lucan was brought forward to be the mystery presenter - I wouldn't descibe that as World shattering news, but let's see who it is.
I wouldn't hesitate to say that lurking somewhere is a deal with David Haye.
In this time of conspiracy theorists, I think it would be easy to put that one together. However he has stated NO PPV so we should keep him to that, if Haye v Klit came off !
I wonder who else is a part owner here. It would be difficult for Mr Warren to be financing all of this on his own.
I think we'd be daft not to give it a chance, then decide on the subscription at year end.

I'm guessing they will show Pacquaio - Marquez III. That is just over a month after the channel officially goes live and I'd guess that is the first fight after it switches to a pay channel (they have said the free period is somewhere between a month and the end of the year). This is the fight to try to entice people into start paying for it.

[twenty six]

Could be mate, but that's one hell of a loss leader.
How much will allegedly have to pay to get it, with no return ?

Yep, got to be this

Seriously, shock the world ? That's a hell of a billing to live up to.....would have to be something like Vitali / Haye to live up to this.....otherwise it's just bullshit.
