Your joking why are they doing that? I was about to get tickets.

Unsure but i'm guessing that they'll sell a lot more tickets in Liverpool with all the scousers boxing as opposed to London whereby it'll only be Groves and Degale fans mainly.....

I'd imagine they'll be a good turnout in Liverpool to see Stephen Smiths return....

Regarding the Degale opponent, it was only ever gonna be a defence of his WBO inter continental belt as opposed to his European title so the opposition was never going to anything special.....plus he was in a tough fight 4 weeks ago too

According to the BBBOfC website James DeGale's first defence of his European Super-Middleweight title against Christian Sanvaia http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_ ... &cat=boxer has gone out to purse bids which are due in today at the EBU's offices.

I don't doubt what you're saying - but this will not be his immediate next fight... He'll prob get this easy one out of the way and then defend the Euro belt against Sanvania in the new year

Degale has just confirmed that he will be fighting Jose Maria Guerrero on 9th Dec via Facebook that.

First 1-2 months- impressive matches for free. Appleby - Walsh was a sure fire classic and it was a clever match to kick things off in a positive light. certainly capture the interest of the general uk boxing public.

Month 3-6- charges come into play- as an estimate 60-80% go for the subscription on the basis that most weeks there is at least one match of note. Presumably 1-2 big international matches for the hardcore and fwp crossing there fingers and toes that bellow-clev and burns- kats produces credible winners so they can start attempting to flog the channel to pubs etc-

Month 6-9 - Allegedly Channel introduces small hall promoters such as Steve wood, fearon. Goodwin etc etc... This brings in new fans as locals part with their hard earned to try and catch their pals in action. The use of these smaller promoters will allow fwp and queensbury to start to pull back a bit on the stiff matchmaking. No doubt the Olympic boxing will make an appearance further fleshing out the content.

Months 10-12- Olympians signed, people no accustomed to paying the £10 fwp returns to his pre Allegedly channel matchmaking policy. Fairly decent fights top the bills as a handful of undercard fighters +1 every week. Things return to 'normal' in terms of match making- and now with an established channel fwp can make whatever fight it sees fit with little or no scrutiny. It's only £10 we'll keep telling ourselves.

That's how I think things will go- I look forward to seeing the numbers Allegedly Channel can draw. I think it will do ok actually- is Allegedly Channel good for the future of the sport? That's massively debatable. How is it going to bring anyone new to it? With a promoter who is particularly unhappy about criticism then who is going to tell him when something's not going well? Certainly no one on the pay roll and I don't get the impression they will be checking on here once things have began to snowball for the channel.

The days of eubank and benn couldn't be further away as long as this channel exists. All that talent hidden away on a private, non sky cable channel. Nightmarish that my kids won't have a Nigel benn, or anaseem named to look up to.

The balls in sky's court now! I think they should take a really hard line with regards to matchmaking and world tidles now. Let Allegedly channel be the wkd, and try and be champagne. Once again if anyone from the board can put me in touch with rob smith I'd greatly appreciate it- I have a sincerely brilliant idea which will fit in perfectly with this rehaul of uk boxing.

Thanks for reading rant

Thought? (other then stfu would be nice)

I honestly can't wait until all these people who pay for the channel start venting like hell - I honestly give it 10 weeks before that starts happening.

This week bill is not very good either nor was last weeks. There been a few poor ones already!
