UK fans, agree that Sky's coverage sucks?

I know we should be grateful that we even got the fight but I am just sick of them not showing post fight interviews. Also talking over the cornermen. HBO and Showtime for all their faults urinate on Sky.

The commentating can be a little biased but that doesn't really bother me, the thing that bothers me is that they always cut to a break inbetween rounds so we can only hear what they say towards the end of the break, they even do it when its on PPV... they shouldn't be allowed. Yeah that pisses me off too, they cut straight to what they have to say instead of hearing what the fighters have to say.

I completely agree. SKY's boxing coverage is utterly inferior to its US counterparts. Why can't they show post-fight interviews? Seriously. Not to mention the actual punditry is simply diabolical. It's actually frustrating to listen to. Christ....


Is there actually a reason for not showing the post-fight stuff like rights to coverage or something?

Don't you sometimes find it annoying when the fight finishes and you don't get to see the post fight interviews until the next day though?

I am not sure, cause before Setanta went bust they used to always show the post fight interviews (well if I remember rightly they did). They would cut to Steve Bunce talking and as soon as the interview would start they would cut to what they had to say. I can't remember whether they had breaks inbetween rounds too though.

Horrible commentary, been saying for some time. Its boring really, dont really pump you up as much.
