Seeing as this is a forum about British Boxing and not British football, I wouldn't have thought this would have made a difference...

Usn't they have all 6 packages(but change to law only allowed them to get 5 this time ) and now they have 4 . So with less football could that mean more boxing ?....................I doubt it , infact we will probably just see more of the Coca Cola Championship , League 1 , League 2 and the conference

But that 4 packages have cost them more than when they used to get all 6
So they have less money for other sports

I imagen they will still have to buy in sports to fill there scedual time with though. Doubt they will pull out of boxing cos there are still fighters who are a big draw.

It'll be the viewer who'll suffer and end up having to spend more to watch the games as they're distributed across more providers. Alternatively punters will, as with ITV digital, not bother and footy clubs will lose money.
