How come the UK gets Oscar v Floyd for absolutely FOOK ALL...?

The Dempsta

This may have something to do with footy in a funny way because sky are losing 40 odd games to setanta next season so maybe they're trying to save face a bit and offer a HUGE freebie.

Is it that they hope new people will order sky sports for the purpose of the fight?

Cos they must have paid a lump sum and said we'll show it to alot of homes for free apart from obvious sky bills that already exist..

Me so confused...lol

For years sky tv foisted shitty titles on their subscribers. WBU and the rest of the lame shit. The subscribers got pissed of and i think thats one of the reasons sky and warren parted company. now they only broadcast what they consider to be genuine titles. they would not broadcast a carl thompson IBO title bout because they claimed it wasnt a real title. Thompson was subsequently stripped of this title.

You know I am actually pissed off about it. I got my mates coming over (it's been planned for months) and now I have had to subscribe to SKY Sports 1,2 and 3 (and whatever other channels it includes) for £16 a month.

What it is is that they've changed how premiership football goes on tv. Basically all the tv games were divided into 6 packages. Sky got 92 games I think and setanta got about 18. Premplus is, it would appear, gone. Which suits me just fine as i'd never pay £8 for just one match. If you want all the matches though, you have to subscribe to the Setanta sports channels too.
