    it was on a different forum, so anyone heard about this?

    they did show skelton vs rogan re-run plus the olympians and they also show ESPN friday night fights and boxing classics on sunday mornings (usually 02:00-03:30) sometimes slightly earlier or later.

    also heard ITV are willing to show a re-run but ruled themselfs out of the live coverage

    Would it?

    Would get better viewing figures on 5 than setanta/sky.

    I doubt that. No ****er watches it. They wouldn't even know its on, the adverts would also be next to useless as no ****er would see them either.

    On Sky it is more likely to catch the attention of casual sports fans.

    its baffling why ITV are not picking this up, why would you have froch everytime on every boxing show you put on (analyst on hennessy cards and big fight round 2) hype him up and then ignore his biggest fight

    would love to know what froch and hennessy are asking for

    the BBC are a disgrace, i don't blame setanta on this one but the beeb taking our money and giving us nothing back

    the least Froch could do is stop paying those idiots
