Its looking quite good for TV Fights over here, with Sky competing with ITV we will probably get some top fights from the states also, atleast delayed (day after) if not live;

I wouldn't be suprised if we get some of these big ones;

Morales Vs Pacman,
Mormeck Vs Bell,
Mosley Vs Vargas,
Catillo Vs Corales III,
Mayorga Vs De La Hoya,
Zudah Vs Mayweather ( definately this one )
Barrera Vs Jesus Chavez

some interesting fights there although Khan V Jeff Thomas seems pointless what with thomas loosing to Baz Carey the other week!!

Oh, and has Judah Mayweather or castillo corrales been agreed?

Corralles and Castillo go at it in February...

Nice to see the WBU back in full swing.

Limond vs Murray might be interesting, but I feel Murray is too big.

corrales castillo ... at a catch weight?

Think it is scheduled at Lightweight, but who knows.

Castillo says he will make lightweight for certain this time. He says he only didn't make weight last time because his something interupted his training, but the fight IS set to be for the lightweight titles.

5 Tacos and a burrito by the look of it.

Wooohooo a ton of Eurosport fights for me to watch!

No Sky Sports though.

Can;t wait to see Lacy get owned too. 8)

ITV schedule looks the business - anyone think JC / Lacy would be PPV if it was on Sky?

Might have to cancel Sky now, unless they come up with Zab/PBF, Pacman and co - and I don't mean a week late, which is next to useless.

well done Boxing addict, top man. Thats a great xmas gift tv guide for us all.

I really think this is looking to be a great year for boxing.....

And now we have Johnny Nelson's long-awaited title showdown with Enzo Maccarinelli on the undercard in manchester.

I love free TV and i think i no longer need sky Sports!

You know I tend to agree...cannot help but think Hatton has shot himself in the foot.....he could be getting incredible viewing figures on ITV, though I wonder how well ITV pay...?

I've heard it said they only stumped up 50,000 for Naseems last fight on ITV way back in the 90s, wonder if that's true...

Hatton-Maussa got 150,000 PPV buys in the U.K. How much was it? About 15 quid I think. So thats £2.25 million. Plus the sell out gate money. The gate was about 16,000 wasn't it? I'd say that pulled in about 2 million in tickets, programmes and merchandise etc. Plus sponsorship......God knows. Then American TV money. I'd say all in that it was about 6 million or so and that maybe conservative. Now he's away from Warren I think Ricky would get at least a 1/4 of it all. Much more than could be offered by ITV.
Yep. Only the well off or boxing fanatics are getting to see it. But in the last 10 years that has always been the way with the highest profile fights.
Maybe Lacy-Calzaghe will be the start of something really good. High profile, live fights on your terrestrial T.V. But somehow I think it will prove the exception and not the rule.

Bear in mind that the PPV money doesn't all go to the promoter to dish out....

Merchandise etc is run as a concession.

American TV money must make up a fairly large proportion, was it a PPV over there, I believe it was....

Ricky got a whopping payday for this fight, IF what I've heard is true.

Its not all about his boxing career though. If Hatton was on national TV he could make a load of money doing talk shows etc (being a celebrity) after his retirement.

I think he's already made enough not to have to worry about retirement. It's not like he's a flash harry who drives around in a McClaren F1 or anything. Doesn't seem to have a taste for the high life, so his money should go a long way barring disastrous investments..

Thought Limond was fighting Gomez?

a fellow believer

Dann's good but this Toney is a big puncher and well rated, he's not your usual african coming over to get paid, his a proper live fighter, could mix it with top 10 middleweights, - interesting and tricky for Dann.

Keep the faith in Scotty Dann. He might have beaten a friend in Wayne Elcock , but i still like the lad.

He will beat Toney , 11th round KO win.

Watch out for Lee Haskins and Dan Guthrie , they are going places.

Tom Podmore.

yeah Lee looks a real puncher at the weight.

Dan was in a real barnstomer i recall and lost last time out.

am sure he will bounce back tho nice little stable the Sanigers have down there.
