They might if their strategy was to return to weekly shows, but there is no indication that they are looking to do that. If anything, they seem quite content with averaging less than one show a fortnight. I can't see it. Who knows where Bunny will be by the time the SS position changes.

Would Cleverly, Burns, Saunders and Gavin not appeal to Sky?

Or to put it another way....

Would Cleverly v Karpency, Burns v Ocampo, Saunders v Matthew Hall and Gavin v Welborn appeal to Sky?

I think the debate is how long Sky stay in boxing, not whether they extend coverage.
Eddie has a lot of pressure on his shoulders.

Cleverly,Burns,Saunders,Gavin,Chisora,Mitchell,Murray,The Smiths,Butler and more Frank still has a great stable even if BN folds(which I hope it doesn't) then whether it be with SKY BT or another channel he wouldn't go long without a TV deal

Not a prayer of a comeback with Sky - regardless of the stable.
The BT thing is a possibility only because the man pulling the strings was part of the allegedly set up.

Can't see a reason why Sky would want it at the moment. If they were to do a deal with Warren then Hearn would presumably get his nose put out of joint a bit, and if its a straight choice between Warren & Hearn's stables then Eddie wins hands down.

Warren would be far more appealing if he matched any of his fighters with anyone capable of making a decent fight out of it.

BN hasn't covered a British show for nearly 3 months. It does more for German boxing than British. I admit that a lot of the foreign coverage is decent.

I stand corrected. Forgot about the Gavin and Price bills, but still not much.

But you would have to think - boxing fan or not, if the business model for allegedly has meant that it folded why would the man pulling the strings at BT continue to invest in it.

Where is the suggestion that allegedly has folded or is in trouble?

I think the fact that W.Promotions is in such trouble actually points to a healthier situation at BN. The channel pays for fight rights and the cost of programming; it does not (directly) pay boxers.

No, Warren's stable is weak now and it doesn't help he matches most of his fighters badly. So, why would sky take him back.

It's not that weak am pretty sure he's the only promoter with 2 world champions, the only ever gold medal winner from the worlds a Beijing Olympian, a fighter who gave Vitali his hardest fighter in years Mitchell Murray and quite a few British and Commonwealth champions

Why did Sky go all in with Matchroom?

Whatever answer you come up with, ask yourself if this applies to Al.
