    The footy deals were a must as they needed to sell the channel asap, IMO. Given that the UFC was up-for-grabs, I think they just snatched that contract with both hands as well. Going by some of the stuff they have said recently, as well as some of the rumours in the papers, I'm confident they will be showing live boxing. As we all know, in the world of boxing, nothing is ever simple. That said, I remain hopefull, Alba:good.

    Sounds like there's a lot of people clutching at straws here.

    If ESPN take their thumb out of their ass and get some live boxing, I will stump up and subscribe, but I am not getting blown off with classic boxing and interviews and the likes of Hull v Stoke. ****in chancers.

    That's the shittest post I've read all day, slip;).

    I honestly think that they'll sort something out- we just have to be patient, IMO.:good.
