Maloney never made it big, he was the one with the promoters licence, but it wasn't his money invested and it wasn't his profit.
Panos Eliades was the money man.

Presenters, music, build up, maybe it's me feeling nostalgic but I remember those nights and they were done perfectly, despite the lack of airtime, to really make me feel it was a big night.

Agree. Most Sky events seem very hollow nowadays unless it's Box Office....

Is Malony now a woman in the sense of relationships with males and all that?

Hilarious when he went in the bb house and was trying to talk like a woman when he first went in but as soon as someone pissed him off he turned into an angry snarling sarf london hardcase.

But then when Sky did use two of ITV boxing mainstays in terms of presenting - they used to get criticised like bejesus (Watt and Newbon).
Yes they will never beat.

The under card was rubbish
Only one ‘prospect’ and he was American. Otherwise battle of the bad records

At least these days we get prospects beating up journeyman not journeyman beating up journeyman
6 fights on the card where both fighters had winning records.......not so bad

Benn spent the entire afternoon on the day of the show having his hair braided, which tells you how stupidly overconfident he was. I still remember Wally Swift's crack when Benn turned away prior to the finish. "I wouldn't have turned away if I'd been hit with a hammer." Benn looked like a hype job but he was smart in going to the States and reinventing himself the hard way.
