Sky Boxing Contract

[Spud MK2]

Boxing has been on Sky for 30 years. It has not shown the sport for 5 months.

Boxing is deemed a minority sport and thus there is no sense of urgency to award a contract.

The latest rumour it could be as late as January 2026 before they declare their hand.

What has impressed sky executives is the amount
Of interest with 35p+ proposals being received

The court case Shalom versus Wichusen is of significant concern.

Weirdest thing is people posting anonymously….

It says Frostieballs on your passport does it?

I’ve had an account on here for years and haven’t just cropped up to make a point.

I’m an open book and happy to introduce myself! Hi my name is Jason Frost. What’s yours?

My civilian name is irrelevant to the merits or otherwise of the points raised.

Seem a bit hell bent on Sky's new boxing contract.

You got a stage name? rather than numbers?

There is significant late news with promoters forming partnerships to amend & strengthen their bid.

Also there is a significant late bid which will ruffle a few feathers i am seeking permission to declare onnhere

This thread is rather odd.

A cynic might suspect that both of the new numerically named members are one and the same person.

The numbers thing was assigned by the site, I've no idea how to change it.

No we're definitely not lol

Like I said, it seems aimed at positioning /maneuvering a particular angle - bear in mind industry insiders inc Sky staff read these forums - to try and add some weight to a pitch.

The posting style is incredibly familiar.

Anyway, my two pennies worth. I’m really not convinced Sky are bothered by boxing and more critically I think the Sky model and platform is yesterdays news.

All types of TV (and streaming) is going on its arse. MTV is closing in the uk, that says a lot about the sky model.

I thought that. A smarty pants with 'inside' knowledge and an ever so slightly condescending tone. Reminds me of Rover and a couple of others.

That was Eric, he’s passed away now so fairly confident it’s not him posting.
