Football matches being cancelled - Sky fill some slots with boxing

    Both Super Sunday games got called off and a Leicester City fan contacted Sky and suggested that they cover his team's game who are playing tomorrow. Sky obliged.

    There are only 2 games today, not enough for football first. Why don't a few of us e-mail Sky and suggest they get the German bill on tonight?

    I doubt it will work, but at least we would be sending a clear message.

    The snow could be around for the next couple of weeks. If they get enough feedback from fight fans they may think about filling gaps with fight coverage from other countries

    No, but buying recent classic fights cannot be that expensive bearing in mind the original bout was not even show in this country

    sky will only show fights they screened so vasquez v marquez would never be put up. if anything it would be some domestic fight from the last few months like rogan v sexton.doubt it anyway at such short notice

    Should edit the title. Sounds like a statement of fact rather than a suggestion

    As for the sentiment it would be good but the situation will clear up in the next week or so so not really a viable proposition
