Can only be good news for boxing.
It is great, the only reason is because they are making a shitload of dosh in there other sports and Eddie Hearn is now in charge and he is a huge boxing fan, I read a good interview with him and he basically said there is no money to be made in boxing for his company but because the darts poker and snooker are booming he is not to bothered taking a small hit or even breaking even to bring good boxing to the fans and her is a huge fan, so hats of to Eddie and his Dad who are basically doing it for the love of the sport.

I don't see how there is no money in it considering the pittance the fighters get for taking part in Prizefighter. The winner only gets 32,000, which means the others must get virtually fuck all.
