    What a load of nonsense.

    Cleverly, DeGale, Frampton, Frankie Gavin, David Price etc have all appeared on Sky Sports Ringside in recent months even though they were fighting on BoxNation or Channel 5.

    Do BoxNation promote the Matchroom bills on Sky? They are a dedicated boxing channel so surely they have ample hours every week to plug all the bills that are not on their channel? As if.

    Fury-Chisora haven't even sold half the tickets in the MEN arena. The general public don't give a shit about it. Ricky Burns and Kell Brook do better numbers than those two.

    That is because Sky is a far bigger business outfit than Box Nation. They are a walking advert for their fights and have the resources and spend t promote their product no matter how crap it is remember Haye v Audley. They said they would not do another ppv again.

    So what's your point? Sky preview/promote fights every week that are not on their station. Tonight Khan and Ogogo are guests on Ringside, neither of whom are with Matchroom or Sky. They never said they would never do another PPV. Haye retired and Frank Warren moved his stable to BoxNation, then Matchroom got the exclusive gig with Sky and wiped the floor with everyone, hence Froch-Groves 80,000 punters.

    Sky will want to work with Khan especially if he gets to fight Floyd which will be another PPV bollock.

    Amazing what hype can do 80,000 people for Froch v Groves when it is not a big fight compared to Benn v Eubanks.

    Not as big if you ignore the fact that it's sold double the amount of tickets and Groves purse alone covers what both Benn and Eubank got for their rematch.

    Have you factored inflation?
