All these fights were already on the Boxnation schedule last night.

 

Nice one, even more bang for your buck.

This is intriguing. Sky look pretty bad here but we'll see what fights this deal actually delivers

They've been on there for weeks.

 

Where are the anti-boxnation crowd now?

 

**** Boxnation.

 

what was the deal with sky announcing they had GBP fights a few months back

 

Still not buying it.

I don't have Sky so can't have it anyway

 

Guess it depends on who's really the money behind it all. Venture capitalists a la Setanta who need to see a quick return or someone in it for the longer term?

 

probably better than this one!

 

Are they in HD?

 

Just think, all that for the price of a pint of beer a week!!:yikes
