    Setanta is so reasonable that I have access to good quality streams where I can watch pretty much every fight I want and I still pay for my Setanta subscription.

    Any fights from across the pond were never televised here in the UK for many years and the only time they did was if Naz, Hatton or Lennox Lewis was fighting and even then it wasnt a guarantee. (not to mention it was always on PPV)

    Setanta are taking a step in the right direction and with a bohemoth like SKY as competition they need to be very carefull. Its all good and well saying put more boxing on but with their budget they need to keep everyone happy and boxing just isnt popular enough in the UK (although thats starting to change again)

    Best thing we can do is support them coz if it all goes pear shaped and we have to resort to Sky again then its back to the odd domestic fight and mismatches from hell for 15 quid a time.(on top of the subscription)

    ps. Bunce, Yesterdays email I was asking you who the skinny guy in the Boxing Hour intro was. the fella who you shout "are you ready for this next round" at.

    Cheers, Paul
