Any reason why these are not being shown on Sky.

Post by stujones »

Just looking at the Free schedule time, that coincides with decent TITLE (fulfil's sky criteria) fights.

This Friday - Lawton vs Hickman - English Light Title (could be a dandy) - Impact Boxing Promotes.

Feb 23rd (Friday) - Wayne Bloy vs Jamie McDonnell - English Bantam Title - John Rushton.

March 9th - Maludrotto vs Napa (EBU Bantam title) - I imagine it will be screened, just not been confirmed - Frank Maloney.

March 23rd - O Donnel vs Elwell - English Welter title - Again, I think it probably will be showcased - Mick Hennesey.

April 13th - Corcoran vs Hughes II - English Feather title - Again probably going to shown - Mick Hennessey.

These are just the Friday fights that don't look to be shown, and with a spare date (or haven't been confirmed) - there are lots of others on different days or clashing with Sky cards. including.

McKenzie vs Francis (clashing with Burns vs Johanneson).
Rhodes vs McDermmot (on a Thursday).
Robert Norton vs Tommy Eastwood (with Gammer vs Williams - still not convinced that is happening).
Wayne Elcock vs TBA (on a Saturday).

March 9th - Being shown. I believe Jamie Moore on that card in a warm up.

March 23rd. Under card fight of Froch vs TBA.

March 3rd. Danny Williams is fighting Gammer. Williams is training with a new trainer. names escapes me. Spencer Fearon is also in the corner.

April 13th not sure. Heard Moore topping a bill in manchester one friday in april. So this might get swapped around.

As for the others. Guess who will have to become mates with the local people who record fights at show for promoters/Fighters.

Lawton v Hickman is not this Friday, the schedule's wrong. It's supposed to be on the 24th February. As far as I know Impactboxing have no contract with Sky, but they seem to have wangled tv exposure of some description for Edwards v Robinson for the British flyweight title in April.

Doncaster show is Rushton Promotions, again no contract with Sky.

Shame, because these should both be good shows.

Lawton/Hickman isn't happening as Lawton is expected to take on Thaxton on the 16th March.

Couldn't some of these promoters negotiate a one off deal with some of these promoters...Impact/Rushton etc remember how the matchmaking suffered when they previously tied a promotional company to a contract. WBU mismatches anyone?
