    Had a little look at it before and while there is a shed load of football I did see a few boxing shows about Tyson and the Cinderella Man, I did see the Friday Fight Nights possibly on delayed coverage on Saturday afternoon. Alfredo Angulo is fighting the night before... Interesting to see how it will pan out... Not sure why ESPN cannot broadcast the boxing on ESPN Classic which is free on Sky

    What an odd thing to say...

    Because its not "classic" Boxing.

    Because they want to make money. FNF on ESPN Classic=no$$$ FNF on ESPN=some$$$

    They wouldn't put Premier League Football on Classic, so why Boxing?

    Just had a look myself- completely forgot it was launched today which shows my lack of enthusiasm for it, really:patsch. I see there are lots of 'classic' programs in the listings for today as well some some baseballs for later; I can't wait:-(.

    But there's **** all on it. At best it's a poor man's Setanta with some niche sports on it. If anything positive can be found in it, at least I can watch basketball programs at sensible times of the day as I have a small interest in it:yep.
