    This,saved me from writing the same.The red button will be great when it happens,comparing f1 Qualifying too the lower down the order undercard fights is just silly.The point I was making that Bunce was boasting that they show the whole card,well of course they should they dedicated boxing channel unlike Sky

    Did he really say "no win no fee"? Hard to believe his lawyer (or any lawyer) would work on a case like this on that basis.

    Ok so you're a boxing fan who doesn't mind only seeing a quarter of a bill?

    Some fairly petty point scoring going on here. Boxnation isn't perfect but the fact they show the entire bill is something that boxing fans should applaud.

    We shouldn't be making excuses for Sky not showing entire bills. It's inexcusable. They have the channels and the resources to carry this of quite easily.

    Its bad for boxing long term to show mismatches on TV. Why did you get into the sport, like the rest of us you watched a great fight and were hooked. Imagine if when I turned on to watch Calzaghe vs Lacy that time I had seen James Davenport vs Mark Phillips in 4x2 minute rounds?

    More people will wanna watch aerobics than that. Just look at how many people are in the crowd at 5:30pm!

    Chris Eubank on his News International case yesterday "Mrs Murdoch has a pretty good left hook and she should go easy on me". Wendy Deng > Nigel Benn

    Are you just trying to be controversial for the sake of it? i'm really failing to grasp exactly what point you're trying to make here.

    Are you seriously trying to argue against more exposure for boxing on Sky television?

    With regards to your analogy. It's pure bollocks. Am i not going to watch the final of the world cup because i happened to watch Iran vs Peru in the opening group games?

    Chris Eubank is representing himself. Yesterday the judge struggled to control him. Apparently Chris would not be silenced.

    Chris Eubank defending himself is the reason why we need cameras in courts.

    I would prefer to see the whole bill especially if the bills are stacked which hopefully they will under Matchroom and it looks thay will be doing the red button thing but i`m not a big fan boring 4 rounders of prospect v Latvian and sometimes struggle with the standerd of fights early on a box nation show.I think Sky not showing not entire Maloney shows in the past is a blessing i`m grateful for.

    I`m a big boxing fan but i`m also in to many other sports so i get my moneys worth out of Sky,if i was just a boxing fan Sky sports wouldn`t be worth the money for what they show at the moment.Box Nation is good value for money even though there domestic output has been poor.
