      Too bad. Cotto's fights are always compelling. @ Yankee Stadium? Should be a good fight.

          I was debating with a poster before that UK TV selection of fights is poor, and this is another example. This is a fight that should be shown.

            I don't know much about sports broadcasting networks in the UK but this fight is being shown on HBO wouldn't subscribers of HBO nationally and internationally be automatically given access and viewership for being HBO subscribers?

            Just curious to how that works...

              we normally get all the big fights live and on free tv

              may marquez
              may mosley
              pac cotto
              pac clottey
              cotto clottey
              cintron williams
              mosley margarito

              even margarito cintron was shown live over in the uk so dont no y this fight isnt being shown, also sky boxing is doing well at the moment, in the last 8 months the ppv numbers ave been strong

                  UK boxing broadcasting destroys it's own sport. Boxing would be much more popular if people actually got to see it, but they hardly ever do.
