When is the next boxing on tv in the UK?

[Fatsandman]

I just subscribed to ESPN UK (£9 a month). The only problem I see is that Setanta were a free agent and not tied to any Channel. Consequently they were free to buy any fight card from any US network they wanted. That made for some great boxing for UK viewers..

ESPN on the other hand just seem to be showing Friday Night Fights which have been free on channel 5 late sunday evening anyway. This means that while football fans must be delighted that they can now watch the same games for £3 less each month boxing fans are left with a big Setanta sized hole in their weekly boxing fix..

Sky are the worst offenders though. The reason I got Sky in the first place was their boxing output was so strong. Now look at Sky's boxing schedule! Its full of second rate UK shows and the occasional entertaining but ultimately tacky Prizefighter show. They very rarely put on any big US shows any more. When they do put on a big show these days it is a £15 PPV featuring Hatton or the overrated (and totally underserving of PPV) Amir bloody Khan...

Yep, I miss Setanta too.... Got an awful feeling that their demise, along with ITV bowing out as well in a few months, will be the beginning of the end for top class boxing on UK TV... real shame...
