Setanta better than Sky

I hope you are wrong, whilst the commentary leaves a lot to be desired, they are really providing great value for money. I get mines with virgin cable for 3 for �30. Sky sports would cost me an additional �18 and the Paul Williams fight and Klitscko fight is not enough for me to subscribe back to them yet. Leftylee must be rich.

I've got both(I wish I was rich!) and have been annoyed with Sky and it's boxing coverage. Setanta is streets ahead in terms of it's matches shown.

I'm very close to cancelling Sky.

Welcome to the boards.

If Sky did show more world class fights then I would join back, but it has to be a lot more. �35 a month for mainly football is not worth it.

Cheers, it seems alright this place? albeit 11 posts in!

Don't get me wrong, I like Friday Fight Night, but the big fights have mostly been on Setanta.

The recent domestic fights Sky have shown haven't been great either. The one where Mitchell fought the opponent, whos name escapes me was a joke. OK, there's nothing Sky can do about two other opponents pulling out for one reason or another, but boxing and football is what I shell out �35.

The return I'm getting isn't all that at the minute. Like I say, very close to getting rid of Sky.

I am sure the Mitchell fight was on Setanta, remember Buncy talking his usual nonsense. They do have the next Mitchell v Johannson fight on Setanta as the under card to Haye v Maccrinelli.

The thing is when I stopped subscribing to Sky, I cancelled the lot and they have been making me offers to join back. I will if the fights are good. I get the feeling they will see that they are loosing viewers and will put some good fights on. They will be showing the Wlad fight and the Paul Williams would be good to watch but not at that cost. Although I used to subscribe to them for 17 years until January.
