Setanta fights not being shown live

[Nash]

Did anyone else notice that none of the fights shown on Saturday were not live?

I found out the result for the Haye/Mormeck fight while Setanta was still showing the 4th round. The Cotto/Mosley was also 4 or 5 rounds behind.

It ruined both the fights for me

[donnydarkoIRL]

Yeah i had suspected it was delayed feed! I first found out about this during Hatton Castillo, my friend called me and said what a Ko huh half a round before!!!

[Fenster]

I didn't realise the Haye fight was behind,

I knew the Cotto-Mosley card was funked-up because we were watching the start of Casamayors fight whilst the rd-by-rd was on about the 5th round.

It's a wind-up having to watch fights in the early hours to then realise you're NOT even watching LIVE

[ono]

yeh already found out that the casa fight was a complete fix and a snoozefest just as both guys were entering the ring.

and i found out from Wacko that Cotto had won the 1st round just as Mosely was supposedly coming down to the ring.

It's a proper piss take really.

[smashup]

Never realised
Is a piss`take though i agree..I mean a FIVER for these weekends fights AND Calzaghe v Kessler is daylight robbery

[Otley]

I waited up all night and got no fight......all I got was the SETANTA subscription page. I waited up until about 4 am and I still got nothing. I am going to ring them up and complain. Has anyone else called SETANTA to air thier anger

Setanta provide competition for sky and keeps them on their toes. Also we get to see fights I think Sky would not normally show. So it is good even if the commentry is not great.

Did not realise it was delayed but still would have stayed up till 5 am to watch the fight. It was a good day with the Liverpool match and Haye and Cotto fights so cannot grumble.

What annoyed me was the fact that I wanted to record the cotto fight v Judah as I never had that fight. I had to go shopping with the wife and kids (to make up for the fact that I would be sitting in front of the TV for the next 10 hours!) and missed the 1pm showing of the fight. They were scheduled to show it again at 7, 11 and 2am and it never arrived. Real piss off. Overall still great.

Forgot to say the other thing they did not show were the post fight interviews even the repeat screenings. Not good.

why didn't you just watch them on tv and not look for the results? thats what i did and nothing was spoiled

[donnydarkoIRL]

We should start a petition and inform Warren's staff and setanta if we get worthy numbers...

Mate if you have Setanta on freeview the coverage ends at 3am.

A friend called me after he had finished watching the Haye fight. It was only the Cotto/Mosley fight I looked online. In the end i did not even watch it on tv.

Anyway if I thought the fight was live why would I think it would be a problem to go on a boxing website?

Because this website provides round by round analysis for the people without the provisions to watch the fight. This spoils the results for guys watching the fight who come on to enjoy pre fight predictions and debate and find the fight has started

[superheavyrhun]

Yeah, I was trying to follow Wacko's RBR online, but realised that it was a bit messed up when the Casamayor fight was still on and I was wondering why the forum was talking about Margarito. I don't think they showed that KO either...but it was so quick i might have been in the loo.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I could tell the Haye fight wasn't live because the final moments before the fight were all 'cinematic' and in slow-motion
