...I would just like to state how fucked off I am about the coverage we get for fights on British television. When I saw that the Judah-Mayweather bout is nowhere to be seen this Sunday morning, I almost choked on my coffee. ITV have started to get back some of the big fights from Sky, but why won't they fucking show the superbouts where there are no Brits involved? I take it that means we'll be missing out on Tarver-Hopkins & Wright-Taylor too?!
SORT IT OUT!

Go to Skysports.com and then go to feedback and let them know you're not happywith the service they're providing. Thats what I've done.
cheer
anyway i can get an audio report of the Mayweather-Judah fight? is there any US radio stations that will be reporting it live on the net?
plz!!!! i need to see/hear this fight somehow.
All of Khan's fights have been on TV so far.....;-)
Spinal, I share your sentiments, like you said Warren & ITV are doing an ok job at the moment, but I have Sky too, so if the fights were shown on there I would be more than happy. Maybe I am expecting a bit too much, but I don't think Sky would have to pay a King's ransom for those bouts I have mentioned because know ITV would not be prepared to bid for these sort of fights. ITV know that the British public, as you said, are quite unaware about the majority of the boxers you have mentioned, thus the two companies wouldn't enter into a war, consequencially keeping the price down for Sky.
Even if Sky just showed the replays on Sunday morning I would be happier but they are sporadic at best when it comes to this. It just makes me laugh when they give such extensive coverage to sports such as Basketball (which will never be as popular as boxing over here).
In fairness, my post was a little too emotional and not very well thought out when it comes to terrestrial television, but I'm just annoyed about the lack of non-British boxing on our screens!
I'm a brit living in america and I'm just glad that they are showing all of Ricky's fights over here now...and probably all of Joe's. It's a shame we don't get to see any Khan fights...I guess I'll have to wait a few years till he starts dominating the lightweight division and comes across bigger names.
