When and Who is the next live boxing on Sky.
All they advertised last week was Pacquiao vs Morales (delayed) and Barrera vs Fanza (delayed).
Is there something on a week friday?

There was only 4 live big fights in the whole of last year and all were PPV. Not a single free one. I think they have ditched free ones altogether. Could Wright - Trinidad be live on PPV?

If no one picks up Morales/Pacquiao for PPV then there is absolutely no chance that Trinidad/Wright will be on.

Split Decision
A friend of mine who is a lawyer for Sky has indicated that they were a bit burnt on contracts with King in the past and he is now persona non grata with the organisation - makes quite a bit of sense with their current schedule.

lets not forget the financial year runs from april 2 april, perhaps the boxing budget was a little exhausted come end of march.

Doubt it, sky seem to have a thing aganst Don King. If hopkins / eastman was a ppv success then maybe there's a chance of setanta picking it up? personally i think anyone is stupid not to.
Yep. There will be no DK PPV's on Sky.
