      yeah kinda sad since Skysports dont really invest in world class boxing anymore unless its on Box-office and am definitely not paying a penny on Hatton or Khan has PPV events.

          Despite its flaws I thought setanta was great.I have it online and their archive of whole fightcards and fights was pretty big.I sensed something was amiss the other week when they"upgraded their software". They binned virtually the entire archive only leaving fights that happened in the 2 weeks prior to the change,also their content has been pants lately.

              Terrible.

              I guess boxing really is dying then.

              Unless Channel 5, the worst channel alive enters the race.

                  This is bad news. I watch every card available be it ESPN, ITV4, Setanta, ESPNClassics, SkySports, SkyBoxOffice, Showtime and this is some of the worst news we could have received as fans of Boxing.
