this is offical though. read the link. explains the real reaso haye retired imo.

I think that is good news for fans boxing was better when it was free ppv is not a good idea imo

yes but waingro... i give up...

They need to realise another statement which reads 'Sky shelve boxing', because that's basically what they've done.

That report looks like it's been typed up by Waingro using spellcheck.

Love how this is being portrayed as some big act of altruism on Sky's part, they are dumping PPV because they have nobody who can carry a PPV event, Brook is nowhere near that level now, Khan has not delivered the numbers in the past, Warren has taken his fighters elsewhere and Froch has been hidden away on primetime so is hardly known to the wider audience. Lets wait and see if Khan gets the Floyd fight next year if they maintain this stance.

If Khan fights Mayweather it will be PPV no doubt...
They will justify it as being PPV worthy and the public wanting to see it, to be fair I wouldn't mind.

I don't think they deserve to host such a bill if they have turned there back on the sport, money talks though.
