It all adds up to a business decision, one that I feel is wrong, but I can see the logic.
Thank God someone else is seeing it - knew I could rely on you KG. Can't believe how many people on the thread are just glossing over these aspects.
I see in this week's Boxing News, tagged on at the end of the "Sky Dump Hatton" story that next season will see Sky's boxing output halved.
With Matchroom having an entrenched position with Sky and with Prizefighter taking up a significant proportion of their promotions, that doesn't leave too much "real" boxing (no offence to Prizefighter, but I'm not a huge fan).

Come off it mate! I'm sure he has a big say in these things and will have attended many meetings about this.

But Francis is ultimately the boss (the cause?) and isn't he well known, according to various reports, for not liking boxing? Great credentials for the head of sports of a major channel.
