Hi all,

I need to know any and all channels that they show boxing on in other countries. If anybody in the States has DishNetwork and has international channels already, please let me know the channels I need that show boxing that we don't get in the States.

I know of a channel called MNET in Africa, but DishNetwork does not offer this channel. I've heard of Sky in England, but that's apparently a cable company as well, not offered by Dish Network at all.

So if anybody has any information regarding this, please post it here and tell me what types of shows they include. And I mean I want everything of any top rated fighters world wide. I'm sick of not getting to see **** like Vivian Harris over in Germany against Urkal or Beyer vs. Green or hell the undercards of PPVs, which I understand they show full undercards in some countries.

Please help!

Good luck. I had to pay 20 bucks to see the Tua fight and it was on a two day delay. It came with a women's undercard. Both fights had poor production values; probably was a local telecast. They also put two fights from February on the undercard - Sinan Simil Sam vs. Lawrence Clay-Bey and Nicolay Valuev vs. Attila Levin. They had the graphics from a European, German-speaking country, but had some post-production work that looked like Fox Sports Net...

I have a channel on directv called GALA that has all Spanish-language programming that shows Boxing alot. They also show Lucha Libre wrestling and soccer from Latin countries...

I don't think most of the foreign stuff is available over here...If it was, someone would have given me some info when I was trying to find a way to watch Ricky Hatton vs. Michael Stewart live back in October...

And I subscribe to the sports pak, which gives me 20+ different sports networks on top of the ESPNs...

Well for British action, I've heard that soon both http://www.hennessysports.com, and http://www.frankwarren.tv, will be offering live streams for fights in the UK... Only I don't think it's ready quite yet.

I think http://www.hennessysports.com will be the 1st to demo it... And it may cost you something like $5.00 to watch the card.
