do some of you genuinely only watch boxing and no other sports?
i actually prefer the sky boxing set up how it is. i have a social life, friday and saturday nights are spent doing plenty of other things, and i like to wake up on sunday morning and watch back 3 hours of quality boxing. previously you would get a 2 hour show and it was all mis matches. now its all 50-50s. i also think sky is great value for money. never had an issue with paying for it. God Bless Rupert Murdoch also.....being deadly serious. the guys get an unfair ride. |

He gave up his nationality just so he could buy a TV station. Just find it dull. Team sports do nothing for me - much prefer boxing and tennis. Plus I think football is being leached to death by big business - there's too much money in the sport, with no respect for fans. |

Boxing has some of those problems too, no doubt. But I like the sport more than football, even if I get frustrated with it at times. I dislike Murdoch because he's a terrible human who plays the committed, Christian family man while peddling lies and manipulating his audience. He uses his influence to push his political agenda of war and racism. |

I can't stand the football, no interest whatsoever in it.
I have no problem with people who love it, I love boxing, so can understand the passion, but football?..............I just don't 'get' it! Quote:
I must admit to not knowing too much about Murdoch, but I do think that there is generally no smoke without fire and I think to assume that an individual can amass that mush personal wealth and power without making some questionable decisions is a bit naive. I would certainly be surprised that if there is indeed a God he would 'bless' him anyway! |

The sad thing is when Sky do boxing properly they do it better than anyone. Would've loved to have seen Hatton and Price continue on there.
Personally I blame the F1 more than the football.. I think they blew a ton on securing it and boxing has been one of the sports that's had to pay for it. |

I know there is mate, I am just choosing to wait until all the real dirt comes out (and hopefully at least a little of the truth) before I read up more!
