    A bunch of televised matches of varying significance, but all should be entertaining, considering they involve Juanma, Abraham and Ortiz. Anyone know if the Maccarinelli fight is going to be streamed anywhere (Legally)?

    Are you in the UK?

    If so, this must be some kind of sick joke?

    Setanta has just gone off air, none of these fights are being televised.

    I was really looking forward to Abraham/Juanma as well.

    No, in the US, where I know Maccarinelli will not be televised: hence, wondering about a legal stream. Was Setanta the only game in town in the UK? That really sucks.

    Sky is basically the only channel that shows boxing now.

    Setanta had many, if not most, of the big international fights.

    Boxing in Britain is dying a death, IMO.

    June 27 was the original date but Kotelnik had that tooth problem.

    Depends really on what ESPN has plans. If they setup a channel on bskyb...they might show the matchs. I know they have a subscription to matches. Like they aired the Klit chag fight

    Hope you guys in Britain get something to replace Setanta soon. That's a real drag.

    Actually, Sky showed Wlad/Chag over here.

    But yeah, I think ESPN are trying to establish themselves in the UK, so hopefully they will show top boxing, but who knows. Doesn't seem to be much demand for it from the mainstream general public.
