Im gutted to hear there not interested in showing some great live boxing.ESPN were soo big on boxing,shame really

[Master]

What is Buncy's radio show?

ESPN showing some boxing is the big question for me, will it be on cable is the other, big factors in me going back to the devil in the Sky.

[HattonTheHammer]

cant see them opening a whole new channel and not having various other sports on there.

If they can copy setanta`s model and manage their finances a whole lot more sensibly then i see no reason why they wont eventually catch on to the boxing

[Drago]

the football shown on setanta never showed the big four playing each other so i will not be subscribing to espn if no boxing being shown

where Can i listen to Buncy's radio show?

[Fenster]

Buncey's radio show is on BBC London. He's been doing the boxing hour on Thursday nights.

I'm sure Bunce has been in touch because he wants the pundit job so if he says they're not interested they're not interested. Looks like Sky is the only game in town for British fighters and promoters now. Bugger.

Cant see it really, ESPN have taken over the football rights as football is probably the biggest most profitbable sport in the world, unfortunatly boxing isnt, and Setanta went skint for the simple fact they invested in to many sports that are not really that popular to the general public as a whole.

Boxing as the ppv figures have shown for fighters like Khan and Hatton is not that desirable in the uk especailly when you have to pay extra for it and in the current financial climate.

I think Setanta probably lost alot of money they invested into boxing with all the different promoters rights they had like Hayemaker top rank the german firm etc etc.
