Pretty much all of the international shows are still up for grabs. SKY's list of up coming fights have been updated on their website. No international broadcasts confirmed yet, just British shows so far:
21st Jan: David Price v John McDermott
28th Jan: Carl Frampton v Kris Hughes
04th Feb: Scott Quigg v Jamie Arthur
11th Feb: Prizefighter
25th Feb: Dennis Shafikov v Lee McAllister
Premier Sports have Guillermo Rigondeaux vs. Rico Ramos for the WBA title this Friday.
Seeing this Saturdays Sauerland event from Germany has been added to Box Nations confirmed line-up, I'm certain we will also get the following 2 Sauerland shows in February:
04th Feb: Yoan Pablo Hernandez Vs. Steve Cunningham
25th Feb: Alexander Povetkin Vs. Marco Huck
The only other international card I think we have a really good chance of seeing on Box Nation is Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Vs. Marco Antonio Rubio plus Nonito Donaire Vs. Wilfredo Vazquez Jr on the 04th February. The reason for this is the show is promoted by Bob Arum. Cotto Vs. Margarito II, the last big fight on Box Nation, was also promoted by Bob Arum. The last fights of both Chavez Jr. and Donaire were shown live on Box Nation.
In fact I remember reading the guy who used to negotiate the TV boxing deals for Setanta is on board with Box Nation. This would explain the deal with Sauerland, and potentially Top Rank as these were the 2 main promotions Setanta Sports had broadcast deals with. In fact Frank Warren at one stage also had a promotion deal with Setanta. Funny how things work out.
