    I though they did a great job, same as they did for Calzaghe vs Kessler. The production was really well done, they have come on so much since the Hatton vs Castillo fight. Little things like camera shots from outside the arena that they would have never done before I notice.

    The build up was great and they Hyped the fight up really well. Paul Dempsey is great, and Rawling and Woodhall are good on commentary, the post fight interviewer did a good job to. I like Abrams but he lacks personality, it was clear he favoured Haye. Bunce is way to much, and the fact that he didn't make a prediction is a disgrace, thats what he is paid to do at the end of the day.

    Its great to see them getting behind boxing, big fights coming up over the next month, some of which we would not have seen. theres still a few others they could get on there though.

    Max exactly, I nearly jumped out chair when I saw Pacman is finally being shown regular again! Setanta did ok but lack the crisp set up nd tehcnology of Sky but for god's sake get rid of Steve BUnce he's so arrogant he comes across as the bully who mouths off in the pub and gets battered and says he did nothing he's such a dick head. Guy next to him I thought was very good very insightful and Dempsey sorely missed on Sky he's fantastic.

    Claude Abrams is a bit of a charisma vacuum, but he's primarily a boxing writer so he can be forgiven for being a bit wooden, Bunce on other hand seems to searching for a sound bite everytime he speaks, the mans a ****ing clown

    I know, i hate Bunce. He does my head in. Apart from him it was a great show.

    And they're showing JMM vs Pac. That's going to be a quality fight.

    Yep for all the stick I've given them they pulled through last night.

    Still poor presenters and Bunce but he must have his fans somewhere. Cluade Abrahams was funny, he looks like the vampire bad guy off Blade 3.

    My most thankful thing that Setanta did for me was mooving the round time thing to the opposite corner where it was not covered by the Subscribe logo thing.

    I like listening to woodhall but Bunce needs to go...everyone around him seems to cringe when he rambles out his pish.

    In the minority here however i quite enjoy Bunce.

    He's like an excitable 5 year old with ADD who's just been fed a packet of skittles.

    Well done Setanta :patsch

    After eight phone calls and hours on hold all week I never actually got to watch the fight cos of the problems with their signal :|

    And 'thank you' to their technical expert who's best advice was to take my sky card out, wipe it, and turn the receiver off in the mains :good

    Terrible customer service:naughty
