Are you talking about the way they cover the fights? If so then probably Sky because they have all the money and they've been doing it for years.

But who the hell is on Sky anymore? We only get the British title fights on Friday nights which are alright sometimes, and then every five months or so we have to pay £15 for a Hatton fight.

On Setanta you get loads of the American fights which is excellent. Also Joe Calzaghe and David Haye. Setanta is the home of boxing for British tv these days.

HBO put all these bums to shame. They need somneone who knows his **** just like Claude Abrams, but has the energy of Steve bunce minus the annoying squeaky ****ney prick accent. I was gonna say not such an ugly beerr bellied fat twat too but that is asking for toomuch from limey presenters. I bet them TV stations don't have staff gyms like they do in europe, the fat British cunts!

i donno which one is best from the UK. HBO's fight commentary is the best to me. Sky is alright, but Setanta annoys the crap out of me. they don't know that much. to me, Jim Lampley, Larry Merchant and Emanuel Steward, they kick fight commentary ass.

I also enjoy HBO's coverage the most. I think Setanta and ITV is good also, not a fan of Sky though.

Setanta for world fights, they have most of the big fights from the US as well. And some good British stars (Calzaghe, Haye, a lot of Warren's boxers minus Khan). It has the fights in Germany as well (the Klitschko's usually fight in Germany).

Sky only has Hatton (which is £15 a pop and not included in their Sky Sports package), they have decent domestic coverage (Friday Night Fight Night), and Amir Khan. : /

ITV has Carl Froch.


Sky charge £38 a month for Sky Sports + £15 every time Khan or Hatton fight.

Setanta = £12.99 a month, and you've got so many more world title fights. And a **** load of other sports too.

Setanta owns.


No boxing fan over here should be without Setanta.

It's a celtic story.

Setanta was a boy he grew up in Ireland in County Antrim, one day Setanta had a stick and ball nad one day hit the ball into a big dog that belonged to a man called Culain and killed him.

Culainn said 'What am I to do now without my big dog to guard my house and wife and my ten small children as well as my hens, pigs and sheep?

Setanta said 'I'm sorry, I'll guard your house with my stick and ball and change my name to Cuchulain, the hound of Culain.

He then guarded that house became a bit of a legend and guarded the whole of Ulster itself.

He was a bit like Achilles or Hercules or one of them guys.


I read it in Angela's ashes.Never read that book BTW....depressing as ****. I don't care what anyone says.

The good thing about SKY is that they have Friday fight night. But on balance Setanta showed the bigger better fights this year. And they've got Steve Bunce's Boxing hour. So Setanta>Sky>ITV.
