They got the MayPac fight and they've now added Broner/Porter to the Smith/Ward offer to increase their international coverage. Matchroom are also working with Sauerlands to include Groves and Price to UK fight nights. Matchroom's roster of talent steadily grows as the boxers realise where the action is at, and their latest PPV card was well-received.


Is Sky Sports now the home of boxing?

No.

The Brook v Gavin PPV was well recieved?

I can see where your coming from but I don't agree that SKY Sports is the home of boxing, however that's not to say B0xnati0n is either.

Mayweather Vs. Pacman and Brook Vs. Gavin weren't on SKY Sports. Both where on SKY Box Office and cost £37 on top of the usual SKY Sports subscription. SKY have picked up Broner Vs. Porter as B0xnati0n had already committed to show the World Series of Boxing finals on that night followed by Lemieux vs. N'Dam, as part of their output deal with Goldenboy. It's the same thing tonight. B0xnati0n committed to showing Walters Vs. Marriaga about a month ago as part of their output deal with Top Rank. SKY have picked up the Wilder Vs. Molina card, which is on at the same time, in the past couple of weeks.

For me SKY is the home of domestic boxing with B0xnati0n being the home of international action. SKY have stepped up their game, and have started picking up cards that B0xnati0n aren't showing. As a subscribers to both services, I'm absolutely delighted with the job both are doing at the moment. I'd say SKY is for the casual fans, B0xnati0n is for the hardcore fans.

Allegedly is the home of boxing,Sky are not

i think maybe allegedly have had a falling out with PBC as they have a few decent shows over the next few months and none or in the allegedly schedule?

Neither show enough to claim to be the home of the sport.

Who cares ? If it's on it's on don't give a shit which channel.

He would because that determines the future strategy which seems to be more of this type of PPVs. Although he did say a better main event so perhaps numbers were not stellar.

Good post wish BN did more domestic stuff though been some decent small hall cards recently IE that Goodwin show a few weeks ago was well matched.
