anyone know who Propa Boxing is? They have real knowledge of and insight into the sport, as well as being hilarious and self-deprecating. Really do enjoy listening to them.

He's quality, chanel got 100k subs in next to no time, some of the YouTube channels have been at it for years and have nowhere near that. He does a podcast with 2 or his mates too.

I read that this is an £8m a year deal.
Can this be accurate?
Was an article on Turki and the promotions he’s working with.

Imagine one card a month, £660k a card
Not including ppv.
It’s doable ain’t it?

It should be when you include revenues from international tv and gate receipts.
However boxers are paid more than their commercial worth in the U.K. because of the competition of the promoters. Terri Harper supposedly turned down £200k-£250k to fight Caroline Dubois on the undercard of Price/Jonas.
£8m doesn’t go very far with that kind of outlay on an undercard fight that probably won’t boost the total viewers of a show by much.

It just seems crazy that Harper can turn down £200k. When she was at her peak she was on a Sheffield arena card selling about 1000 tickets & she’s since been knocked out a couple of times.
Dubois doesn’t sell tickets either which is why she’s ended up on Callum Simpson undercards hundreds of miles from home. The combined cost of that fight is probably in the 400k region & like you say it doesn’t add a lot.

I doubt Harper and Dubois would sell 100 tickets between them and Price is hardly a seller either , fancy turning down that sort of money

Harper’s always sold fairly well when fighting at home. Saying that it still won’t be the kind of numbers to justify a £200k+ purse and she’s not going to sell many in London.
Apparently tickets have sold well for this.

Callum Simpson's 7 June card is the last show of the current deal. Sky might well do a TNT and Ben will have to look to move onto DAZN or similar?

Surely Sky could sack off regular boxing and just work deal by deal on PPVs with DAZN somehow?

No.
He's got enough decent fighters that DAZN might give him a slots, though.

Guess it depends how fighters contracts works if a big broadcaster drops them if there's a release clause.
