Sky Boxing Contract

Post by Spud MK2 »

competition will for the sky boxing contract
Is heating up

There is a delay in declaring the winner due to
A highly sensitive and controversial court case beftween john wichusen former head of boxingat boxxer and the ceo Ben Shalom. The move by Shalom
Has proved very controversial as wichusen Is very popular in boxing.

Perhaps more surprising is the judge announced
In favour of shalom by stopping Wichusen taking up his new role at sky boxing. This ruling is only ITemporary until the outcome of the full
Judgement is declared in November.

So the sky boxing contract, it is understood there are over 35 proposals where it was initially thought, the favourites are wasserman, vip boxing, hennessy sports.

LBoxing executives are insisting the winner hits the ground running by putting on ppv standard shows Due to the executives stance on quality control there 2 surprising front runners could be foreign promoters Ring magazine and Mvp

Uysk, Canelo, and Crawford are all free agents as far as I know. They work with who they want.
Isn't Tank Davis also?

Sky won't be funding any of that.

The whole four year boxxer deal was announced as £32 million.

Usyk and Canelo by themselves are multiples of the Sky Boxxer budget.

Steve had been around boxing for a long time, put on his own shows and worked with several of the ‘bigger’ promoters. I think he’d do just fine.
