No more boxing on TNT?
No more boxing on TNT?
So is that it then for boxing on TNT?
I think this weekends show was the last before Brick Top heads to DAZN, any rumours of another promoter stepping in or will TNT drop the sport?

Re: No more boxing on TNT?
I don't think they'll bother, plenty of other stuff they're contracted to show unless they pick the odd show with different promoters to fill a gap

Its got to be doing shit viewing figures, it never gets advertised.

They will concentrate on UFC
Re: No more boxing on TNT?
Who runs UFC?
Re: No more boxing on TNT?
I think there could be more success in them not throwing their money at a promotor and hoping they strike gold. They could easily just give a smaller budget to domestic promoters to keep the scene alive while Frank and Eddie are jerking of Turki.

Re: No more boxing on TNT?
I think I read somewhere that Ritchie Woodhall & Paul Dempsey had signed on for Box N as the commentary team. For those that don’t know, Franks nephews and other family have been running the shows on there recently, on a similar format to the prospects/York Hall stuff.
My guess is that the plan is for either TNT to do a deal to show these cards or it ends up being bought up to sit on the DAZN platform.

Re: No more boxing on TNT?
I did find it weird that they did the Liverpool show without any mention that it could be the last show (unless I missed it). It made me think that they might still be doing PPV’s from Riyadh season.
Re: No more boxing on TNT?
I cancelled my TNT subscription yesterday, even though I'd subbed via Sky for a 2 year contract last December..
Had to argue via the on line chat that boxing was the only sport I watch therefor it was useless to me, eventually let me cancel and waived (credited it to my Sky account) the £60 cancellation fee..

Good for you. Perfectly justifiable on your part IMO. F*ck 'em.freddy73 wrote: ↑20 Mar 2025, 12:02 I cancelled my TNT subscription yesterday, even though I'd subbed via Sky for a 2 year contract last December..

Re: No more boxing on TNT?
So I cancelled my Virgin media in January and sent back the routers and box. I spent far too much time last year watching football matches I have no interest in, when I've got more important stuff to do. As part of my package, I had SKY Sports, who Virgin were going to notify of my cancellation. Even though I don't pay for it anymore, the SKY Sports app still works and I'm able to watch for FREE. Thank you Rupert Murdoch.

I really feel for him. Guided Froch and Fury to world titles then got dropped when the serious money was coming inSeanBrennan wrote: ↑23 Mar 2025, 11:35I spoke to Mick last Autumn at the hotel before the Simpson-Chelli card in Barnsley and he said was only managing now, not promoting. Didn't seem bitter just very matter of fact. Was really nice chap.

Re: No more boxing on TNT?
He deserved dropping. Some of Froch’s world title fights when he was in his prime were on the most obscure channels, a guy of his calibre deserved much better and fortunately along came Eddiedeadpan wrote: ↑28 Mar 2025, 12:46I really feel for him.
