    They have but they can't cover everything so it leaves a gap for companies like this fill.

    They are working on it. They are sending the programme data to whoever and your boxes will reflect these changes in the next few days.

    It happened last week for the Strum fight...wasn't there and then it was.

    I'm doing the same. Getting my mates to chuck in a couple of quid each for the Fury card so it's just like a ppv.

    I read somewhere it's a 2 month minimum contract? Is that right?

    Not sure mate sorry...give them a call tomorrow when signing up and ask them then. Open from 9-5 I believe.

    I signed-up online and I was switched on with 30 mins. Great!

    Let's hope they pick up some october boxing then.

    Bute v Brinkley isn't exactly mind blowing but would be worth picking up cos sky wont on a friday night.

    Went on their facebook and suggested Juanma v raf marquez for nov 6th.

    ESPN UK announced a new boss today. Wonder if he is a boxing fan. He replaced a bird by the name of Lynne Frank

    Premier Sports TV to broadcast 4 live boxing matches in September Premier Sports TV is delighted to announce it has secured a deal to bring more top boxing to UK viewers during September. On the back of the Felix Strum fight last weekend they have now secured the rights to bring the following top fights to UK viewers on Sky channel 433 at a price of only £6.99 per month. Friday 10th September John O'Donnell vs Terrence Cauthen Saturday 11th September Erik Morales vs Willie Limond Saturday 18th September Carl Frampton vs Yuriy Voronin Saturday 18th September Shane Mosley vs Sergio Mora The shows will be aired in full with some great undercards to back up the main events. Premier Sports is delighted to be bringing fights to UK viewers that were previously not going to be shown. We have worked hard over the last week to put in place some great events for our customers and we believe we can offer viewers at least one fight a month from September onwards at the great price of only £6.99 a month. A fraction of what viewers would pay on PPV channels. Premier Sports is a new sports channel available through subscription to around 10 million Sky platform users on channel 433. The channel costs only £6.99 per month with no annual contract. Currently they are building up a sports portfolio that includes live boxing, football from the Blue Square Bet Premier, South America and Ireland, Gaelic sports and live rugby league from Australia. Customers who want to purchase the service are being asked to visit the website www.premeirsports.tv or call Domestic 0871 663 900 / Commercial 0871 222 8484.

    The Mrs is enjoying X Factor and has reminded me that Strictly Come Dancing returns this Saturday. Fortunately they do not clash and I can Sky+ the boxing from 8.00pm and watch it from around 9.00pm.

    You single guys on here enjoy your boxing while you can. Sooner or later a bird will turn up who likes Eastenders, Emmerdale & Coronation Street and I dare you try to get them to miss an episode?

    Once sproggs come alone you can forget watching boxing the next morning because of clashes with Peppa Pig and Horrid Henry.

    Hence I am only a Sky only diet and I negotiate my viewing on a daily basis:bbb

    We are having an extension built (playroom for the kids), but it will have a big screen & Sky HD. It is a couple of months away. I can't wait.
