    I doubt it, they seem to be making a decent commitment to boxing at the moment. Think we'll be alright. :good

    Yeah i get you, doesnt bother me too much either. But they've never gone out of their way to show and award winning doumentry in 24/7. thats what frustrates me.

    (i know im being a moany wanker, but i'd like to watch 24/7 on the big screen, not my laptop lol)

    I'm happy about this. I appreciate UFC also. At the end of the day, Sky will supply for whatever demand there is. If enough people wanted to see Midget WWE, I'm pretty sure they would get it in.

    It won't catch on as long as sky keep getting decent domestic shows likev the last two weeks then boxing will be safe because both burns and booth did well in both a winning and losing effort.

    UFC...what a load of absolute shite, they should put something more exciting on like Fishing.

    As long as they keep doing boxing its all good.

    ahh yeah i remember. They did it for the Hatton one's but none of the others (like may-mosley or paq-cotto). but like you say they'll do it only if they are doing PPVs. would be cool to see the other 24/7's as well though.

    Hard to see it not effecting Boxing in some way as their whole sales pitch to these networks is to trash our sport.

    MMA is only going to get bigger, it has a huge following among the teenage/early twenties market. Future PPV buyers.

    I believe Boxing can survive just fine alongside it, aslong as promotors put forth decent fights and we get decent fights from the fighters. Basically no more in the vain of Danny Williams vs Matt Skelton, and the damage will slowly be undone
