    If they got rid of ESPN and replaced it with HBO then I'm sure it would be alot better for boxing fans that's for sure!

    I'd ****ing love HBO. They have a lot of good shows as well as the boxing.

    Someone should send them a link to this thread, poll is flawless.

    Now HBO know they have 80 guaranteed sign-ups right from the start I think its only a matter of time before we see HBO UK underway and showing top class boxing 24/7!!! ;)

    I noticed. I haven't voted so I could see who voted for which options and it's a poster I have never came across before. Either he disagrees or he is just trying to have a giggle. Either way, this is probably the most one-sided poll I've ever seen on here:good.

    Best get a petition underway then, Gaz;). HBO best know what they are taking on:lol:.

    Guys, I have written a few time abou this to both HBO and Sky doing some sort of joint venture. If I got some sort of petition/letter going, would everyone be up for putting their name too it? I can get 1000 names easy.

    What would be the advantage?

    Don't really see what such a 'joint venture' could do that Sky couldn't do on their own if they thought it was viable. And if it isn't viable, why would either be interested?

    I've just emailed HBO; it does seem strange as TFFP mentioned that they haven't clicked on to the idea of a UK channel. I'm not expecting a response to my email but at least i've done my bit.

    Jordan - If you did a petition, i'd sign it :D

    Pointless making a petition as that means **** all to HBO. Sky run the uk market and unless they make a but of room for HBO they have no chance of making money here.

    I absolutely love the HBO coverage of boxing and what they show outside of the sport.

    Would subscribe without blinking.

    They need to negotiate to get on through free view, as I doubt sky would include them as an option for obvious reasons.
