Well if they are to show live boxing from the states they need to sort out viewing in the early hours....by all accounts during the last live event (UFC) the broadcast stopped and everyone missed out on the live main event!!?....
If you were on Freevie with Setanta this was usually the case. Stayed up to watch Jones-Trinidad and it wasn't on, they extended the signal sometimes but you could never be sure. To their credit I got five months free subscription when I complained, but I would rather had paid and actually got to see the Boxing.
atsch they didn't got bust because of boxing you muppet plus espn is a different kettle of fish, its a huge organisation with massive resources
Davemaker, you do realise how big a company ESPN is as well? Their UK endeavour won't end up in them going bust, that I can assure you. If worst comes to worst (which I don't expect) they'll just go back to America with their tail between their legs. I see them staying here for good. Also, they have hardly any Prem games to show next season so have to make deals elsewhere for other fan interests.
I think they made a deal with sky, so sky give them some of their games for the next few seasons and thats why espn is cheaper if you get sky sports. If not than not many people will subscribe next season as most subs come from footy fans.
don't you mean channel 5, the espn fnf card from last week was on as well (woods/cloud-bailey/urango)
see the thing that people go on about ESPN boxign and there FNF being shown over here,they arte just short sighted .There is one more scheduled FNF this year (in a few weeks ) and that is that until January .Im sorry but why should we spend £9 on that ,when there is nothing else they have commited to boxing wise.
They phoned me 2day asking as i used 2 get setanta do want espn at £9.99 a month and i said no because i only used 2 get setanta 4 boxing and the steve bunce show so untill they get boxing i will not be getting it.Every 1 who hasnt got it and gets the call should say there not getting it untill theres boxing on.
