I have recently got sky (british version) with sky sports on etc etc etc

does this mean i get to see the fights on HBO or not ???

if so, or if not, what types of fights will i get to see ???

any help will be greatly accepted

I know i have asked JPW this before but i forgot, lol, sorry

yo dued no worries, keep them tunes pumping, fan of Paul van dyk and DJ tiesto perchance? OIve got every cd tiesto has made since 97. Top DJ! Anyway back to the thread

no worries mate, sky will show you HBO only through PPV.

You are more likelty to get showtime fights dealyed.

Sahmrba Mitchell Vs Kostya is on Sky the next morning 9 am (nov 7th ius it?) Sunday anyway.

You will however also be able to get BBC on SKY, (usually channel 1 or 2)

Ill run thru this weeks sched for uyou as an example

Friday night Sky sport one 10 pm (all times GMT)
Scott H vs Kedebe

Sunday BBC 2 9 pm - The fight - four part documentary on the history of boxing

Monday 10 pm - Channel 5 (you can also get this) The contender - reality series charting 10 hopefuls blah blah.

Sometimes the BBC show their fights too, pester me occasionally ill try and remember to keep you infomred.


Oh yeah Europsort shows a lot of german action also at various times in the week usually about 8 pm. I dont watc it though the coomentator drives me nuits and I dont have much interest in watching some unknown Hungarian bash up an unknown Pole over 6 x2 min rounds. Sometimes theyhave some decent stuff on though you have to look for it in the sched.

ok? ;)

so there will be a lot of fights that i cant see ???? never mind, better than what i see at the minute anyway

and, yeh, i like tiesto, goes without saying..... but im into hard trance myself, makes your nose bleed lol

bit old for that mate, used to love the old raves and hardcore as it was then. Actually met up with a few old mates at the wekeend and we were discussin how mad the late 80's early 90's were, ten thousand people gathering in a disused air hanger to get wasted and dance. Madness.

Anyway back to the boxing yeah you do miss some of the decent US fights, sky in their wsidom did not show Tito Mayorga nor Chico v Popo. :mad:

Oh well, at least i will be able to see more than i do

you'll have to keep us posted mate, cheers JPW

Monday 10 pm - Channel 5 (you can also get this) The contender - reality series charting 10 hopefuls blah blah.

The program is actually called Boxing Academy and has been pretty good viewing so far.

SORRY thats right, contender is the US version, was reading aobut it in boxing news last night apologies, thanks for the correction. :o

Hey no probs. I didn't even realise there was a US version, any good?

its got slated in boxing news, never seen it any of our US cousins shed any light?
