    We have the Moore v Rhodes fight, Davies v Napa, Edwards British Fly defence + an English Super Fly fight.

    However we will get only the European fight live, and all the rest will be squeezed into the remaining time.

    Compare this to womens netball - look on the schedule for Skysports extra tomorrow and the weekend and see how much time has been allocatted.

    Sky - You have already paid the promoter his fee, you have the commentators and pundits. How about showing us all the fights?

    Won't happen though, which is a shame.

    Seems ridiculous that itv can give 3 hours (which really drag at times) to Hennessy's shocking undercards while sky can only give two hours to the excellent looking FFN's on the 23rd and 30th.

    What makes me laugh is that they film the earlier fights, and do commentary for it in case the main event ends early. If the schedules are so full, why not put something on the red button? If stuff clashes on Sky, then for most sports they put the start of the next event on the red button. It happened last weekend with the Bowling, and this week with the IndyCar-so why not for Boxing?

    Pretty sure Sky will manage to give Piper and the racist plenty of time to talk **** though.

    Would rather the October 30th show got 3 hours.

    Tony Bellew, Stephen Smith, Enzo Macc, James DeGale, Frankie Gavin, Jamie Cox along with 2 title fights.

    Sky do do commentary for all of the fights incase the main events finish early, they should put the fights on skysports.com

    Warren put the Enzo Macc and Brook fights from the Khan PPV on his website, maybe he'll do the same for the ones that don't get shown on the 30th?

    I think David Price is going to be on the 23rd (assming he comes through his fight on the 16th) as well so they will show him over some of the other fights

    :deal

    It would make sense and people flicking through pages see that and have a good few fights to check out and for us more hardcore fans we can go on there and keep up to date. It's a shame that lads like Tony who are building a nice lil fan base ain't getting coverage.

    Sky just about secured rights for the NFL, La Liga this year, i don't think they will increase their boxing coverage, more interested in putting on darts.
