I was just wondering/curious as to what approach Murdoch will take to boxing on sky, if he gets full control of the company which is looking relatively likely as of now. I wonder whether he'll see it as a worthwhile endeavour or look to scrap it! Thoughts?

I doubt he will take much interest and leave it to the relevant execs.

Yeah you're probably right there, mate. It's probably too insignificant (the amount spent on it) for him too really care anyway.

Murdoch is too busy running the world to worry about British boxing.
He's probably in talks with trump about a realty tv show called "High Jinks At The White (Again) House"
Next weeks episode, Melania accidentally uses some of Michelle's hair products with hilarious results.

He'slikely far more concerned with getting to the toilet before he pisses and shits himself than the state of the British fight game.

I'd very much enjoy seeing the cock-of-the-walk Hearns reduced to some totally abject grovelling to keep their meal ticket!
But as others have said Murdoch is operating in a totally different stratosphere and little folk like Barry and Eddie just don't figure/register.
