    Hi all im emailing ESPN trying to tell them to pick up better broadcasts of boxing.

    Send them an email on
    This content is protected


    or use http://www.espn.com.au/index.php?section=7

    im sending them this

    "
    I am contemplating whether to cancel to ESPN channel on my foxtel subscription.

    First of all i enjoy sports and like watching live events on ESPN.

    ESPN normally show live baseball, soccer, NFL. But there is a problem i am a big boxing fan and boxing is my favorite sport.

    While every other sport is shown live on ESPN Boxing NEVER is. When Friday Night Fights is shown A WEEK DELAYED most of the time the whole broadcast IS NOT SHOWN AND CERTAIN ROUNDS, COMMENTATING OR STUDIO IS CUT OUT OF THE BROADCAST THUS NOT EVEN PROVIDING THE WHOLE SHOW A WEEK DELAYED, AFTER IT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. Instead of showing the whole show ESPN decide to throw more advertising in and cut back on rounds and the program.

    First of all i think it is pathetic that other sports are shown live, while ESPN Friday night fights is shown a week later. Why can't ESPN Friday night fights be shown live?? It is Saturday during the day, im sure it can be shown live and on a replay.

    Also when it is shown, why cant you;s show the whole program and not cut out rounds??

    If you can answer some of my questions i will consider keeping ESPN."

    Worth a try mate. I actually cancelled my foxtel subscription a few weeks back as we are a little short of coin with my Mrs not working and with the tiny amount of boxing that gets shown on both Fox Sports and ESPN I'm not missing it one bit.

    Maybe in your email to ESPN you could kindly mention that they stop showing endless re-runs of Holyfield-Foreman, Gatti-Robinson etc etc. Every man, woman and child on earth must have seen these fights at least 9 or 10 times by now.

    I just watch live on the computer on Saturday, they don't care about us, boxing is disrespected now, most people have zero idea about the sport.

    E = endless...S = self...P = promotional N = Nag-ads

    I never watch that stinking ****en channel.
    It might be my attention span but I got so sick of those repetitive ads & promotions that lasted so ****ing long,, I forgot what I was watching.

    Even when they do show boxing, you only have to look at the clock on your wall to know if it goes the distance.

    What's the point of emailing dyslexic basket weavers, the ****s will need a Telstra telemarketer to explain it to them:twisted::twisted::twisted:
