    People cheating and not paying is the reason we dont get as much stuff.

    Why would you not pay setanta, the less money they get the less good fights we recieve.

    I pay my license fee and refuse to pay anymore. If polsat is good enough for the poles then it is good enough for me. I suppose its my version of sticking two fingers up at Sky and Sultana.

    All those people not paying polsat has had no impact on them, they continue to show top cards from across the world.

    I get more boxing on my cheapo setup than setanta will ever show, no point paying them when I can get more through my patched receiver. BTW Premiership football is also free via patched receivers.

    :lol: Abraham fights are always FTA on the german channels so no need for Sultana. So I do not even need to cheat to watch it.

    Surprising

    Can't see Margarito being an 'easy night' for anyone

    Then again I thought Mosley might be more than Cotto could handle but Cotto won easily enough for me

    Exactly, I also see Cotto winning but I doubt its going to be easy.

    SKY used to be famous for their Top rank broadcasts but with Setanta beating them it just goes to show that SKY are a bunch of tossers who have no interest in the sport.

    Not only have Setanta made this deal but they've also made a deal with Zuffa (owners of the UFC) to show ALL future UFC events live and for free.

    The deal with Zuffa made me cum in pants i was so excited.

    SKY do have a deal with Cage Rage though, which want's to show Ziggy from Big Brother fighting amongst other freak shows and can/bum matches. :roll:

    Setanta have done more for pro fighting fans in the last year or two than SKY ever did.

    Their deal with Zuffa alone is legendary.

    wrong.
    Sky do care about sport. So long as that sport is called football. The trully shocking and mind blowing amounts they spend means they have little left over for the other stuff.

    Im a footie fan, but the money pumped into football is truly insane.

    and with regards to boxing, i dont have setanta, but I just watch all the big fights online.

    True sky are only interested in milking the hatton ppvs now.

    Setanta securing the live UFC events in Uk and from the US (from next month!) is the icing on the cake. Cant wait to start watching the big mma events live after a nightout.
