    Mate I'm still waiting for a reply to an email I sent 6 months ago. I will however be redoubling my efforts this year and hammering these guys to start treating us a bit better, ie no more ****ing Holyfield-Foreman repeats. Its annoying cos their American channels show a huge variety of fights but we seem to be stuck with the same 20 fights all year.

    AFF, I've taped that on the IQ, pm me and when I transfer it to disc I'll send you a copy. This offer stands for everyone else, pm me for my fight list, I'm sure a few people here will tell you I'm more than happy to send out freebies or even better to trade fights I don't have.

    Regarding getting Friday Night Fights brought forward, well, what do we have to lose? Give me a few days and I'll organise some half assed petition or something.

    Like I said a few posts ago, for f sakes they were showing tractor pulling a few weeks ago, I'm pretty sure that boxing fans would outnumber their fans. Just a hunch...

    If you start something like that up I'll gladly post it up on my blog so more people can see it. I know a few other people on other message boards who could spam it there as well. I usually hear the results of the FNF's and then can't be bothered watching them because they're on reasonably late unless there was a great fight or a great KO on there. Also if we're going to complain about the weeks delay, we may as well go all out and complain about the lack of variety in the classic fights. The one's they show over and over again aren't even that good compared to some other ones.

    Yeah mate, all good, forwarded it to the guy and he was happy, was a bit annoyed cos when I watched the fight it seemed to me that he got robbed badly.

    I'm capped until Tuesday but still ok off peak, ratio is over 6 now, cheers. I'll be right for a few months at least.

    There was mention of another Sky Channel around the middle of last year and Mat Brooks told me if it happens there will definitely be more boxing.

    Can't say for certain at the moment, I'll contact him this week to see what the go is, thought I'd give him Xmas and the new year off. There is no Canvas Classics scheduled for Tuesday week so we'll see what eventuates.
