Pacquiao v. Marquez IV was confirmed earlier today. Taking place on the 8th of December. Not really a fight I'm excitied about. Marquez will just get robbed yet again.
Primetime will no doubt be favourites to land the fight however Boxnation might have a chance if the sales of Chavez Jr. against Martinez are weak.

Noticed that the British Boxing Board of Control confirmed the following earlier today:
"JUNIOR WITTER (Holder) v FRANKIE GAVIN
Following the opening of purse bids on Wednesday, 12th September 2012 at the Board's Head Office, the winning bid was submitted by Promoter Frank Warren. The above contest will take place on a date and at a venue as yet to be advised."

Some really interesting and positive quotes from the press conference and Frank Warren afterwards:
Simon Green CEO in reference to the channels growth:
"The fastest growing subscription channel that this country has ever seen."
Frank Warren on the channels current subscription levels:
"The subscription levels we are at now are what we where forecasting to get by next March."
Frank Warren on the next 12 months:
"Some of the signings we are going to be announcing in the next month or so, will be great for the channel"
I wonder what the new signings could be? Wonder if it's another promoter i.e. 50 Cent (TMT Promotions) It could of course just be confirmation of more fights between now and the end of the year. I was reading that Frank Warren is planning a bumper Christmas show on BoxNation featuring title fights at British and World level!
