    Lets face it, it's the big nights that the networks are are judged on and Setanta did a crap job of Calzaghe-Hopkins. Thank god they got McGuigan in to counter the **** coming from Dempsey and Bunce. When I'm shelling out for Setanta I don't expect to have to trawl my channel options to end up watching the Calzaghe-Hopkins weigh-in on the Fight Network. I'd be willing to put up with one-off ppv Sky Box office payments instead if thats the standard of their coverage. Oh hang on I can just hear Jim Watt now...........

    Dempsey is an arsehole - but both he and Bunce were odd that night, was there something in the water?

    I like McGuigan, until he starts talking Amir Khan!

    almost certain to be ppv so it'll be a one-off 15 quid or sopcast

    No contest.

    Even I went through the trouble of suscribing for Setanta sports.

    It shows nearly every single important fight, and even the fights that only the hardcore could appreciate.

    Cintron vs Margarito, Margarito vs Cotto, Wladimir Klitschko vs Thompson, Mosley vs Cotto, and the list goes on.

    Setanta Sports truely is "the home of boxing".

    ...not just British boxing.

    Setanta is £12.99 a month - the price went up without much fanfare

    Setanta have great coverage but I will never sign up again because of their terrible customer service when you want to cancel for a few months.

    I used to love watching sky sports for sat fight night and the big fight specials in the early hours of the morning then they changed it to friday fight night then setanta came along and it slowly started getting all the big fights but at first i wasnt impressed with there presentation but they have cleaned up there act and are now the top runners for big boxing and sky nowdays just seem to show lower weight british fights . setanta has just gone up to 12.99 per month which is still value for money considering how much the yanks pay for each ppv.

    Sky putting Hatton vs Lazcano as PPV was discusting. there response to my complaint about it was worse.
