Frank Maloney new tv deal

[leforge]

If Price's fights are to be aired exclusively on Loaded TV his stock price will fall accordingly. Rock and a hard place for Maloney.

Exactly, as one of the most promising fighters in Britain he needs to be on a bigger and better platform than 'Loaded TV', whatever that is.
I don't think it's on Virgin so that would count me out for a start.
I feel for Frank and he probably knows that his days with Price might be numbered unless he can give him greater exposure.
Unfortunately this is the boxing landscape at present...

I can imagine the shows will not be upto much.

Tony Jeffries now saying he not been paid for his last fight by him. Not heard from him in 13 months according to his twitter.

[saturday_kid]

Must have been a big fallout between Jaffa and Maloney.

Jeffries has tore him into him on twitter recently

[saturday_kid]

anyone remeber Nuts Tv ,they used to show some boxing occasional live fight aswell

Remember them, sure they showed an Arthur Abraham fight live once.

Can see Loaded TV going the same way as them tbh

[Wales]

Price, at a point in his career where he cant afford to be inactive due to contract disputes, so Loaded TV it is. As long as its on freeview, and promoted correctly, I guess it will get views, more than allegedly ?

[jtourettes]

Good news - this is one good thing about the proliferation of channels, we don't now have the situation where one promoter can sew things up by getting a deal with sky any more.

The more the merrier as far as I am concerned, better for boxing, better for the fighters.

I don't think the proliferation of channels is necessarily a good thing as it's like the Sky exclusivity deal magnified. They don't really seem to be competing against each other much and as such put on lopsided fights quite often.

[Wales]

Only so many saturday nights in a month so they will be competing against each other, just on different viewing platforms.

[leforge]

Rose v Webb on it. Presume Maloney paid Rose then judging from his previous tweets.
Also Price on allegedly still.

[DavidPayne]

So?

Anyone there?

Their facebook page has announced it.

That Maloney Promotions is joining Loaded TV starting with Rose vs Webb.

[whiskey]

It's not even a channel.

Basically channel 200 is called 'Controversial TV' and then it turns to Loaded TV at 9pm.

They have a fantastic array of content, such as a football show presented by 'Lads' in a pub enviroment.

Also a reality 'Lads' programme which follows John Fashnou as he starts up an amateur team of 'Lads'.

Then there are also other programmes where 'Lads' talk about general sport. And a program about 'Lads' that read books (or is that just actually a joke and it's actually 'Lads' talking about football except in a Library?)

Rose V Webb 1 was top billing on sky on a saturday alst time they fought. happy days, will tune in for that.

Are our omcplaints here that Loaded TV isnt good enough to show live boxing, or is it boxing isnt good enough for other TV stations to want it!

[jam100]

Are there no plans to bring this to Virgin then? Seems a bit strangee to to take a product to a 'free' channel but then end figures are limited

Think this is VIP show not Maloney.

has anyone any ideas if you can watch loaded tv online or mabe even on youtube as im a Virgin DD

[fasteddie]

why are these promotors going to channels that only a certain few people can get? no wonder uk boxing is going to the dogs unless your name is hennessey or hearn

If the main channels won't show it, then you've gotta do what you can.

Hennessy was in the same position 18 months ago before he struck the C5 deal.

You won't get to see any boxing on Sky unless your forking ut £50 odd a month. I'd say that was pretty prohibitive, I'd say only Hennessey offers what your claiming, no one else

[SteveDow]

This is awful news. I've got Virgin as well and subscribe for all the Sky Sports channels, ESPN, FW channel and still I'll miss quite a lot of fights!

[earsjohn]

So we now have Nice Guy Eddie on Sky, Warren on Warren-Nation, Meaty Mick on Five, Maloney on Loaded, Coldwell on Coldwell TV and Hatton out in the cold.

That all bodes well for making fights bewteen promoters. If 2012 was a poor year for top domestic fights (I believe it was) then 2013 will be disastrous.

Great point. From the outside looking in, it looks to me like Sky have backed Matchroom and nobody else in the hope that it will force a UFC type situation where all the best fighters join the same promotional company, therefore making the best fights easier to happen (at domestic level at least).

The problem with this policy, of course, is that if fighters stay with the other companies (like Price refusing to leave Maloney, DeGale going to Hennessy etc.), and those companies find alternative broadcasters (as has happened), the situation becomes even more fragmented than how it was previously.

As we stand I think the only cross-promotional fights that occur (between the bigger name promoters at least) will involve Hatton, simply because he is the only one left in the cold regarding TV.

It looks like it will get worse before it gets better.

Exactly! Tv stations dont want boxing, but promoters need exposure and extra cash. Do you think maloney (or vip is it?) was offered a deal by ITV but turned it down? Course they werent / didnt!

Seemingly its VIP not loaded. Plus, domestic big fights now need to go to purse bids so its up to the board to make them, get the bids in, and get the matches made. In an ideal world everyone would fight under one ufc type banner, but were not in an ideal world and that never going to happen

That would be very prohibited for the boxers. Imagine if a boxer fell out with whoever ran or owed this UFC type boxing promotion? They'd be frozen out with no other promotion company to join unless they moved outwith the UK.

[leforge]

I bet by end of 2013 many of these tv deals & channels will not be there! So make most of it now.
