UK soon to lose all Terrestrial tv Boxing.

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.

Fingers crossed they have a boxing budget for the new channel or Sky will dictate boxing in britain and from a armchair TV-watching point of view it'll be like Australia where boxing fans get milked via PPV for every fight.

I got one with a huge crack accross the face, will that do?
