boxing dies if not on terestrial tv in my book, not one of my friends even knew the cotto clottey fight was on or cared abt it but any fights on itv they were going on & on abt just shows its not thew quality of the fights it how many people watch

I extend my sympathies; there's always Lorry Racing Pretty sad that the country that pretty much created modern day boxing has such a sh#tty sense of value for it.

SOUTH LONDON PRESS TODAY | SPORT | Sky the limit for David Haye?

<Cut> With both the BBC and ITV cutting back their boxing expenditure - Sky seems the only viable option for Haye.

What!? Tell me they haven't quit showing the Olympic boxing on the red button

Obvious Haye was going to Sky. They never shut up about him on the KLit-Chag broadcast the other night. Boxing/boxers don't exist if they aren't on Sky.

Now we'll have Haye PPVs to go along with the Khan and Hatton ones. Great stuff.

Don't forget any big fight from the US that might get shown over here, seriously Sky should just give a yearly PPV subscription of like £90 rather than putting out £15 every time

The problem the BBC has, along with most fights clashing with MOTD, is that, with the possible exception of big fights, it has nowhere to show them.

They could clear BBC1 (when MOTD isn't on) for a biggish fight like Haye or Froch but for smaller cards, the cards that are currently on ITV4 they're stuck -unless they use the red button facility.

BBC3 is a youth channel (And I know they show the odd football match) and BBC4 is an arts channel; and they won't use either of the main two to show the Smith v Jones fight.
