    You could save £17.95 and still have a night of live boxing on TV

    Unfortunately Boxrec not showing much about the undercard. The Saturday night football on Sky is pretty lame that week and there are no 6 Nations

    I probably won't survive and will pay for SBO.

    I am not sure there are many around compared to when the heavy weights fight

    By the time I pay for a cab + beer I am better off at home

    I recall watching an Amir Khan fight but the turned the sound off and played dance music throughout

    Is Afolabi/Huck available as a standalone?

    I guess it will appear next week.. as a £30 fight though..

    £30 for Afolabi v Huck

    We need to tell Sky that their Show next week is too cheap!

    There is usually a couple of hours gap between the British /European shows and the cards from America

    I note the Santa Cruz v Martinez show is not on anywhere this week

    No boxing then not all shows shown

    I bet we miss out on Ortiz v Thompson 1 week later

    Better than Listening to Hallings drivel. Know what you mean though, I hate it when they turn sound off in places.

    Afolabi v Huck should be the fight of the weekend. Easy to say this, based on their last 3 fights. As near a guarantee as it gets. I hope they are both being well paid Yet again Box Nation is delivering a great double bill, with Crawford to follow. Andre Ward next month and perhaps Salido - Martinez 3. Thank goodness they filled the breach after the demise of Setanta. I remember what it was like pre Setanta days when we were at Sky's mercy for international fights.

    Huck dumped another trainer this week which don't bode well

    Hadn't heard that, well Ola is well overdue a break. Huck, however will be fired up, I think, after his last fight. Should be another thriller and whatever they are paid, it won't be enough!

    Refuse to pay for Frampton - Quigg.

    The Boxnation card is enough for me.
