I totally agree. They did the same thing last year so I'm not holding out much hope.

I'm going to give Buncey a call tomorrow on the 2 hour live show. Going to tell him a story about how we ended up in a strip club in Edinburgh and paying Â£5.00 per head to watch Scott Harrison fight live on ITV on their big TV screen. No pubs would let us in. The girls got up and danced in between the undercard fights. Ironically the very place we where in was the strip club Scott Harrison was refused entry to, which made the papers here, about 4 weeks ago when he was out drunk! The irony of it all.

Harrison was convicted in Spanish court of assault in a brothel and sentenced to four years in prison. He has launched an appeal to avoid an immediate return to prison. His partner has left him and any return to the ring seems very unlikely.

GoldenBoy should have a great back catalogue of action. It looks like BoxNation and GoldenBoy are continuing to strengthen their partnership.

Amir Khan has signed a 3 fight deal with Showtime in America. His deal here in the UK with SKY however has just expired. It will be interesting to see where Khan goes from here. When he signed a 3 fight deal with SKY I remember him being on Ringside with talk of him facing Mayweather within 18 months. I got the impression SKY signed the deal thinking they where going to get a super fight. Instead they got Petersen, Garcia and Molina. I wonder if SKY want to renew with him? Primetime didn't really work for Khan. Boxnation and ESPN are now viable options.

The Scottish press are suggesting Ricky Burns team are trying to set up a another Battle of Britain with Amir Khan in the summer. I can't see it happening but it would be interesting.

Some good events listed above. Hope either Boxnation or ESPN can pick some up. Would like to know when Hatton will find a channel for his stable of fighters. Primetime was okay for his return but surely only real hardcore boxing fans would pay PPV to watch the likes of Quigg & co.

broner fighting rees on 16/2/13 so that will be on sky

It is 100% on SKY. The first couple of months of 2013 are shaping up nicely. Wonder where this leaves Ricky Burns? Since Burns became world champ he has only asked for 2 things. Either a unification bout or an outdoor fight in Scotland. Warren hasn't delivered either. Matchroom really are delivering their fighters big opportunities. Will be interesting to see who leaves Warren over the next 12 months.

thatllbeme · 28-12-2012, 21:31

to be fair an outdoor event in scotland cant happen during the winter so that could be arranged in 2013 august time and apparently hes lined up to fight broner in may so cant really see what his problem is if he has a problem!

Warren lets slip how many viewers / subscribers Boxnation have. Listen from 10:45 onwards. He seems to be suggesting Boxnation have 200,000 subscribers which is twice he figure the channel needed to break even. He did also mention at around the 6:00 mark that Boxnation are 100% ahead of their target for subscribers.

The interview is pretty interesting, especially the first 5 minutes when he discloses what SKY used to pay him.
