    I only got it for the boxing, think it was the hatton fight when i first signed up. when they got UFC that was also a bonus and any football is a bonus too but Boxing is what I subscribe to it for.

    Anyone know how many people have subscriptions?

    I voted yes.
    I subscribed when it was £4.99 pm for Calzaghe v Kessler but have stayed with Setanta and ditched SkySports.

    Bunce, do you have any other suggestions for us expressing how important the boxing is to us maintaining our subs? Are there any customer surveys done etc? I know Setanta ask you when you subscribe which sports you're watching it for. I'm guessing all these responses are totted up and that is roughly the proportion in which the overall budget is spent. I made sure my old man responded with 'boxing' when he subscibed too.

    I don't think I've filled anything like that Chinny but I did subscribe using the Hatton-JLC deal so I guess I'm in the boxing 'pile'.

    setanta could use the money they save on football , which is a huge percentage of there outlay to bid for all the golden league athletics/every boxing match from america /buy coverage for the 3 major golf tournaments in america /buy uk domestic horse racing/
    set up some new darts and snooker tournaments sponsered by setanta/ etc etc etc.

    sky are paying £7,000,000 per football game for there bid so the 20 odd games setanta missed out on must come to a huge 100 million plus figure and most of the things i listed would fall well within budget and still have millions and millions left over.

    what i know will not happen though , is that when setanta sent a letter out saying we are putting your subscription fee up from £10 to £13 because of our new football deal, that now they have lost the deal they will put the fee back down again.

    voted yes. as long as setanta keep lfc tv , show some football and the boxing , i will keep subscibing. i subscribed before they showed any premiership football and im not going to stop subscibing because its reduced. without setanta we would only see 1 or 2 boxing matches a year from the usa (hatton and de la hoya) on sky. they only show golden boy invovling other fighters once in the blue moon eg mosley v vargas last year. if setanta dont show cotto v jennings will sky even bother showing it , its looking doubtful at this stage. if sky wanted to show it you would imagine they would have annonced it at this stage because of the deal with warren.

    buncey , maybe you could show this poll to your bosses and maybe this thread as well as some other threads that discuss setanta on these boards to give them some feedback.

    also there was a survey on the front page of the setanta website the other day asking what we would like to see more of etc. its now gone off the front page.

    buncey do you know where its gone or could you find out or has anyone else found it and filled it up, we could all fill it up and let them know we all want more boxing

    one off topic question , has anyone ever had any problems watching videos on the setanta website. every time i install silverlight and then go onto the setanta website an error comes up and the page shuts down. its ncp something and its to do with the silverlight add on. i have to go into internet options and turn off the silverlight add on to view setanta website but then i have no videos. i emailed customer services but got no response.

    LFC tv? Didn't know Setanta owned the history channel.
    :D

    Voted yes, I hope it's not true about them being in trouble. We're finally getting to see quality boxing.

    this is a boxing forum so im not getting into a football debate here but at least liverpool have more history to show than any other english club. still englands most successful club. football started before 1993 thankfully. things go in cycles and man u's will end soon when fergie and ronaldo go. this is about boxing not football but im sure some people subscribe to setanta just for lfctv , arsenal tv , celtic , rangers etc. so if it helps setanta to get more subscriptions then great , that will help the boxing coverage.

    fair enough , dont think a boxing forum is a place to be getting into a football debate or slagging other peoples teams off. there is enough of football websites to do that.
