Does anyone know if any British TV is covering this one? It seems Sky have picked up a few overseas fights of late, but they seem to get the rights so late that it's often not even listed in the TV magazines.

Who's Macklin promoted by?
Just wondering as how can this be on Sky so easily when Frochs last few fights didn't get a look in?

There must have been a big falling out between Mick and Sky, they can't get enough of Froch now he has left
Summer is looking good for boxing on Sky

you don't mind paying for the odd lacklustre ppv if they have a good run of fights like this coming up. ireland vs wales, froch vs johnson, alvarez - rhodes (as live), brook - ndou, murray & mitchell, macklin & sturm, and only the haye fight to pay in between.
not bad at all.

Is that in reference to amateur boxing or football/rugby?

Sky have issues with Hennessy. I've heard it 1st hand. They don't like dealing with him.
It's hardly news tho, pretty obvious!
It will be a crying shame if Fury v Chis don't make live tv!!!! Needs to get sorted
