Re: When is the next boxing on tv in the UK?
No, I agree. At least ESPN showed the whole fight card of the Harris fight (which we don't get to see on Channel 5) but they won't be showing any major Showtime or HBO fights. Setanta showed loads of those two broadcasters bills. Thats where Sky should step up. Remember SKY built up their early subscription base because they showed all of Tyson's fights from 1988 onwards..Originally Posted by Master
Sky know there is a massive interest in boxing but they now choose to show cheap obscure sports and leave boxing to their £15 Pay-Per-View option..
But I agree that at least we have ESPN which is something even if it does mean having to endure Teddy Atlas's ridiculous commentaries.
A few months ago I heard the weirdest Atlas commentary. It went something like "He has just hit him with a ton of real estate. But in this case it is not actual real estate he is hitting him with.. its punches" Bizarre!!

Well they showed Witter - Alexander, was that not on Showtime?No, I agree.

Here's hoping they will show Jones Jnr v Lacy.
