    I see your point but on the other hand when they do that it's another avenue of exposure for local fighters. They originally were going to use their third channel for sports betting and boxing would have got a good run but unfortunately they went with another racing channel.

    They do have a nice library so if there are any fights you'd like to see make a suggestion. I know they have an output deal with one of the major promoters in the US and will be showing a lot of recent US stuff this year.

    Leon, maybe too left field, but why couldn't the logic holders at SKY do a deal with say One to showcase their back catalogue on free-to-air?

    Obviously SKY is predominantly a pub/club service and then their respective racing channels on pay-tv, however for a serviceable/affordable fee, surely it provides great content to One, revenue stream back to SKY as opposed to rotting in the SKY archives forever and day?

    If it's already had a run on SKY on pay-tv, surely this is another exposure point for the product and as noted, with a revenue stream from ONE for the on-going usage.

    The is precedence. If you have noticed, ONE is showing English Premier League between 3-5 days after the actual game, which allows FoxSports both the immediate 'live' coverage and repeat runs through the following 48hrs.

    Just my thoughts.

    I thought you would have a better come back than that Leon, your slipping.

    No in all seriousness, it's good to hear you are back at the mines earning some good $$$$ sounds like you are doing well.

    Dzinziruk beat Daniel Dawson pretty easily. TKO'd him in the 10th. A Southpaw whos pretty safety first. Works with an excellent jab. Fight probably won't be that exciting but will be good from a technical stand point.
