Save Setanta

[Master]

Setanta have been a fresh of air to British boxing they have shown great big fights and without them we are all losing out. This weekend is going to be great to watch Cotto. I hope ESPN take over and give Sky some competition. I use to know the up and comming fighters, watching Eric Morales and Shane on under cards of big events was great. Now I do not know who Victor Ortiz etc are.

Wow this sucks. Here in the States I was able to watch a little Setanta and Sky for European Boxing and Boxing in general. That sucks that Setanta is going away. This is why we need a Boxing Channel. Here in the States Football and Baseball have channels for themselves, hell even Hockey and Basketball has one and Boxing towers over all sports. Boxing deserves a channel!

The one good thing if ESPN take over the Premiership football package Setanta have is that they'll show their library of classic fights to fill in all the empty hours of programming, all their documentaries etc. We might even get Friday Night Fights as well, they're also friendly with GBP etc. But whether they'll do deals with people like GBP and Top Rank to show their shows like Setanta did is another question.

Sky used to pick up the US fights (not featuring Brits) they've shown over the years for buttons, there was no competition when it came to bidding till Setanta came along. Setanta offered a few quid more to take them away from Sky. If ESPN don't compete for the rights to show boxing events then Sky can go back to paying buttons again and hopefully will, or maybe ESPN want to show boxing and do what Setanta did. So long as somebody shows the fights, the worst possible scenario is they both say bollocks to boxing and neither cover it. But fingers crossed somebody will or we're left with dodgy streams on the interweb.

Setanta don't get shown here dumb ass. It don't affect me. Not to mention there announcers were the most bias announcers ever. Good riddance. I'm never forget

Must be. I get HBO, ShowTime, Versus, ESPN, ESPN 2, Azteca America, Telumundo and ESPN classics. That's where my Boxing comes from. If Setanta is shown here it won't be for long

Nah, I know they are biased I won't argue with that. The thing is Setanta over here is a big deal, I have for the last couple of years got the lads round and had some cracking boxing nights because of Setanta. Outside of PPV, SKY and the odd ITV broadcast boxing is pretty much non existent on our screens over here and Setanta filled a gap and brought some good nights of boxing.

You're sound as a pound with all your sports channels over there. Cunt
