They have a plan to profitability. Huge losses were expected.

I wonder what that plan actually is.
Because they haven't really expanded the subscribers, they have just fleeced the existing subscribers harder.

Jake Paul will KO the propped up corpse of a former fighter and declare himself the heavyweight champion. Benn vs Eubanks will happen again despite no interest from anyone outside the UK. Crawford will fight once.

https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/KB/2025/2386.html contains the High Court judgment granting Boxxer an injunction against Wischhusen (who they say is still their Head of Boxing) preventing him from contacting Sky or doing any work in boxing except for their benefit.

The allegation appears to be that he planned to set up a rival promotion company to get shows on Sky Sports with Shalom cut out of the deal.

May get very messy indeed if, for example, Shalom were to bring proceedings against Sky in tort for inducing Wischhusen to breach his contract with Boxxer

I’ve only skim read but…
Surely boxing is finished then on Sky? I mean all the big promoters are with other TV stations…. Legal issues will likely prevent them from working with any promoter anyway or anyone risking working with Sky…. Sky may have to make a payment to Shalom…. This guy Johnny Wishchusen seems a loose cannon.

Also what’s the real story behind Adam Smith getting thrown under the bus? He wasnt sacked because he had cancer was he? That’s a huge legal case in itself. Heads are gonna roll and Sky is finished in boxing thankfully

It is mad, because in my time in boxing, John W was one of the most straight up people I came across.

Is it mentioned if he was working with, or acting on behalf of, anybody else in the sport?
