    it wouldent do any harm to get something out given them gyp about the level of fights and the fact they seem like they want to milk us

    Asthe Bunce campaign has so far proven, a coordinated effort is the best way of doing things. Personally, I think we should wait for a week or so and go from there. You are spot on, though- I pay for all the Sky Sports channels and I do feel shortchanged.

    i agree with losfer...a coordinated effort/campaign is the way to do it, no point in sporadic emails

    True- that said, they look to be cosying up to Hennessey and Hayemaker. If so then at least their output will be better.

    I doubt the prices will change while Murdoch has a stake in sky. He will rince people for every penny he can.

    thers a lot of friday fight nights that really are **** poor quality for a slot which doesnt run all year...more euro and domestic unifications or good fights and not the constant stream of prospects beating the shite out of tomato cans.


    there should be a co-ordinated effort to make espn pick up all sentanta's international boxing contracts

    They need to sort out their Friday Fight Night stuff; I usually don't bother tuning in to most of those bills; either the underbill is **** and I just watch the main event OR the whole bill is bollox and I don't tune in at all.

    Also, their American coverage has gone to the dogs; delayed coverage of Ortiz-Madaina was like a gift from the gods.

    I love domestic undercards, its where you can spot decent prospects, but proper match-making over the past ten years has really gone down the bog. Last nights FFN was the worst ever.

    Agreed but out of all the domestic promoters I think they put on the best cards.
