ESPN subscription launched - £9 for Sky Sports viewers

[Mark TKO]

Just seen this - you get it for £9 if you are an existing Sky Sports viewers.

Have not seen any mention of boxing though , has anyone else

If there's no boxing and that will remain on Sky then I dont think I will take out this subscription.

£5 was what I had in mind

I think they are going to pick up Setanta's schedule, so there will be something like 25 Prem Games, UFC & Boxing m- May have to subscribe

Would be extremely surprised if they created a brand new channel solely for those 20 odd games a season

They`ll most prob cater for american sports and i fully expect to see them announcing US boxing cards eventually

The Prem games is just one of things they will have. Apprently ESPN are quite 'friendly' with Sky, so they may be able to get more Prem games aswell

[Otley]

I wonder if i can get it thru tiscali

Job Biscuit (I need boxing for god sakes)!!!

If you have virgin media, you get it free if you have the biggest tv package. Its just replaced Setanta.

Virgin TV Size XL - Digital TV - Virgin Media

It's in HD too!

I hope they get the Setanta boxing schedules.

Edit
Sports on ESPN ESPN

Heres is a link to the ESPN website. Its says nothing about boxing at the moment.

That dude should be drawn and quartered

This is great news for me do not have to go over to sky. Just want the boxing back.

[Tysonbruno]

if its going to show the big fights like Setanta did then i will subscribe but until i know this i won't be bothering as football is shit i was only interested in Setanta for the boxing.

[Master]

I get it free on the XL package that I still got on cable, was waiting for this news.

[Drago]
