Sentanta Skint

[rowlesy]

The trouble is the football side of it is shockingly bad, and thats why they are in so much shit financially. They've lost the Monday night games and so only have the Saturday evening kick-off, so there's not much point in having Setanta now for football. Their boxing coverage is excellent, but thats not enough unfortunately.

Boxing is my primary interest, football is second. Setanta is cheaper than Sky so that is another bonus. The Germain boxing is poor but the Top Rank fights are better.

June 21st is when I'm getting rid of Setanta.

Cotto fight is coming up, then Haye, there's some ABA stuff and the heavyweight fight.

After that, £15 a month is looking bad value.

setanta simply cannot compete with sky when it comes to premier league rights and im pretty sure thats a good 70-80% alone of their profiting figures.

Without at least 1 game a week they`ll struggle to even remain in existence and we`ll have to get used to shitty sky coverage and on the odd ITV card

Damn Setanta arent getting much luck are they. Its not like they have THAT many fights on anyway, Valuev called off in May now the Haye fight in June. Do they even have any pro bouts lined up bar Cotto now?

ITV are pulling out of boxing too when their current contract with Hennessy ends. Setanta will do well to survive another twelve months, they're going to have to totally rewrite their business model. Pretty soon boxing will be Friday night domestic stuff on Sky and PPV for anything involving a Brit at world level.
