    Yeh it is worth it. Doubted it at first until i watched Haye/Valuev in HD. Definitely worth it - same goes with other sports and movies etc.

    You do not realise how ugly Valuev is until you see him in HD.

    Followed by my question...

    Do sky show ENOUGH boxing in HD? Or even standard def for that matter?

    I think all roads will point to 'NO!!!!'

    Boxing in HD is seriously awsome. Even the Lee Mcalister fight the other week was good in HD.

    Allot of the US stuff is not in HD though I think.

    No big U.S fights like Floyd vs JMM and Manny vs Cotto were in HD but it was not as clear as the u.k HD on ffn.

    I think its something to do with the feed from the U.S when it gets converted over here it loses some detail.
