Hard for Aussies to follow Boxing due to limited network coverage?

We basically only get 1 or 2 big US boxing cards a month sadly.
We will have Pacquiao vs Diaz & Cotto vs Margarito at least over the next couple of months.

 

Without the net we would not be able to watch any major fights, other than ppv.

 

We get ESPN Wednesday and Friday night fights. If you have Eurosport, you can watch some fights on there on Tuesdays. We get most of the major PPV's from America and a few from Europe on Setanta.
However, the media coverage of boxing here is poor. you really need to check the net on a regular basis to stay up to date.
We get no fights from Africa, Asia, South America or South Pacific on TV.

 

You could always check LeonMcS' wonderfully helpful stickied thread 'Canvas Classics' which lists the current weeks schedule on pay tv. Great man that LeonMcS and rumoured he has an enormous *****.

 

they need to get more tv coverage like on the news to get more people interested in australia

 

What ****'s me off is that on the UK board someone wrote how they were getting Pacman vs Diaz and a heap of other big fights on Setanta but over here in in Oz we always get the **** fights.

Like Haye vs Maccinarelli

Its very dissapointing.

 

Fights on Eurosport Tuesday night????

MORE INFORMATION PLEASE

 

Yes, i knew nothing of this either.

 

Thankyou.

It's always good to know who has the bigger *****. :hey

It helps take my mind off all the great fights that bypass the Australian airways and cable system.

****s.

 

in the good old days, big boxing fights were shown on free to air tv, but lesser fights were hard to watch

Now with the net and Channel BT, it's great. Just about every fight of consequence shown anywhere in the world can be downloaded. I stay away from boxing websites so no spoilers, download the weekend's fights then watch them as my own special custom fight night

last weekend there was Forrest v Mora, williams v Quintana, Pavlik v Lockett and De Leon

 

Do they do this often?

 

I just download the fights I want to watch off torrent sites. It's a shame but I don't think there's a big enough market for them to be televising international fights.

 

Yeah, almost every tuesday night. comes on around 10pm i think. European cards only and they are not live.

 

I was cut that i couldnt watch Pavlik---then watched it on youtube atsch
