    Sky Sports is really only a football channel! Have you seen the state of SkySportsNews..? Its just football 24/7! According to Sky Sports, somebody joining a new Sunday league football team is world wide news! Most other sports accept football, it ruins them! Its ruining formula one and marginalising the audience, it ruined boxing! And the people who only watch Sky Sports and ringside have a distorted view of sport in general! Because essentially Sky Sports only promote their products and are bias.

    The BBC and ITV are still far better at hosting and covering sports.

    I have Sky Sports and while i wouldnt say i 'hate' their output I am certainly not happy with their boxing output.

    Perhaps me and others who feel the same should contact Sky.

    Sky sports is a rip off - and, worse, purposefully designed to be one. I quit my subscription on point of principle because I objected to Sky switching key sports matches/events/competitions between their sports channels. I had sky sports 1, but half of the events you'd think worthy of flagship broadcase were purposefully shunted out to sky sports 4 or whatever. The sole reason for this is to force people to buy ALL their sports channels at even greater cost.

    It's not that I 'hate' the content. But I do think a viewer who wants unfettered access to sky sports content is forced to pay well over the odds for it, and that is a shame.

    Another reason, by the way, to support Boxnation - a service a lot of you whine about.

    I subscribe to Boxnation for my boxing fix each month because when I work away from home I have a night in catching all the fights I've missed but I'm home for a few weeks working locally so decided to add the sky sports package to get not only the boxing but also the Lions tour of Australia as well , because I also subscribe to the movie channel ( for the Mrs & Kids ) it only cost about £20 for the month and I can cancel it after the last test from down under and won't have to keep paying it ,cheeky ****ers said I had to subscribe for a whole 12 months though if I wanted to watch the Lions in HD , bollocks to that ,normal service is of a decent enough quality if you got a decent enough Telly .

    I wouldn't give a penny of my money to Rupert Murdoch. Aside from the royals he's a top candidate for **** of the year...for the last ten years.

    I very much doubr anyone does, the clue is in the name.

    Sky Sports not Sky Boxing, saying that it's still rival to other channels for the quality of the shows.

    What is the cost of Box Nation vs Sky Sports?

    I don't know the breakdown as it's paid for in one lump sum.
