    Tribute tonight on at 9.45. You'd think the schedulers at BBC would have enough brains to put it on at a different time.

    Watch it on iPlayer if you're going to watch 'This is It'.

    Youd think theyd want some decent viewing figures for it and not put it on during a boxing pay per view though.

    Yeah you'd hope the bbc use common sense but obviously they never do especially when it comes to boxing.

    I think the vast majority of people who will watch a Sir 'enry tribute and then a film abut James J Braddock, are not the sort to be too interested in tonights PPV...

    BBC should do this as a PPV ! :D

    The quality of Sky PPV boxing has gone right downhill.

    Cinderella Man is on at 10.30 ..... not sure if that's any good, I heard they did a character assassination on Maxie Baer.

    But The Set-Up is on at 1.50 .... a black-and-white noir boxing classic, it has to be seen.

    Anyone seen this? Pretty good.

    Good to see Brian London, and some honest stuff from Dundee.

    I think it's not on iplayer due to rights issues

    Could be wrong though

    I watched BBC2 last night - the Henry Cooper tribute (good), bits of Cinderella Man (not so good and The Set-Up (a great little film).
    Seemed a better bet than buying Frank Warren's latest offering for £15 !

    The Set-Up is on iplayer if anyone is interested.
