a bit ****!
Setanta used to show fights every weekend to get us to sign up! now they are not even showing the klit fight from Germany!

Have they spunked the entire budget on Haye and Joe C? cuz i aint happy that the mosely/mayorga fight wasnt shown either.

Between the both of them and Nuts Tv i get to see most stuff now but i hear ya mang! Im shocked they aint showing The Klitchko fight even if just to build up a Haye fight to the British public.
Bunces boxing hour is good tho

Tell me about it ive seen like 4 and they always the reshowings!
But its good to have a show dedicated to boxing news and talk, KO tv is always on at random stupid times and is pretty weak anyway, Like Bunce or not its a good thing he has that show

Bunce is cool as he gets so passionate about boxing! i like it when he is on a mad rant and gets the facts wrong. but atleast he loves the sport. and he knows his ****.

Did you guys used to watch Ringside?

It was on Sky years ago, it used to be Barry McGuigan, Nicky Piper, and different guests each week. It was pretty good.

Yeah i like em too, a guy like Watt for example just seems so negative and ****, Bunce brings the type of passion i have for the sport so he cool by me! Even if he is a bit of an idiot! He's alot better when he's working with someone he respects like when Paul Dempsey was on, those other piss ants just toungue his ass and he gets well carried away!




Any u lads ever had an e mail or text read out on there?

nah nothing as like i said i keep missing it!

Ringside was pretty good. i used to love watching the boxing on sky as it was always on every weekend without fail. And then they would show alot of the USA fights. but it all went to ****..

Bunce is great when he is bouncing off someone else! but the first ever boxing show on setanta (or 2nd) Bunce was thrown in at the deep end as a presenter haha. he FROZE! it was proper cringey to watch!

****, this is the first I heard of Setanta cancelling the Klit/Peters and Tarver/Dawson fights next weekend, am proper pissed off about it as it was gonna be great having the two big fights on the same night, even if they were gonna be 5 hours apart.

I agree that Setanta do need to be doing a little more with the boxing, Bunce boxing hour is brilliant but they need to be having a fight at least every other weekend and need to remember that if they're spending everything on the Haye's and Calzaghe's then they'll only be getting a fight every 6 months out of each. If it doesn't improve then I might cancel my subscription and just rely on streams, after all the hbo stream I had for Mosley/Mayorga last weekend was amazing.

Did Setanta actually announce they were no longer showing the fights or did they just quietly remove it from their schedule?

I just read the whole thread, if Setanta are still showing the Klit/Peters and Dawson/Tarver fights then how come they don't appear here:

I used to watch Ringside. Was gutted when Setanta started getting all the big fights so when it came to Calzaghe and Kessler i had to start subscribing, glad i did as well :)

Sky seem to have shown less interest in boxing the past year or so, they used to have loads of big fights on.

No i dont think they are picking this one up which is why i was shocked, thought they'd want to build a Haye fight.
Perhaps after last times stinker they think its better Wlad is only seen in clips form! The ol' Ko reel

I think Setanta must have just decided to show the klit peters fight as it wasnt on the site when i first posted a moan about them being shyte.

I dont care if they show wlad fight as he bores the **** out of me.

David haye needs to end his world with a fat right hand over the top of that lazy jab.
