    The combination of the whole citywest thing, Rigo not showing up yesterday and Rafael saying that it wont be on ESPN is a bit worrying. Is there any news on sky or rte?

    Also anyone know if Lee v Duddy wil get tv over here? Seems to be all quiet there too. Looks like we could end up with Brian Magee, Casey, Lee v Duddy and McCloskey in huge fights and the only one we might be able to see on tv is McCloskey and even that will be ppv!

    Kavanagh against ***an would be a good matchup over here and a big step up for Jamie.

    rigo casey is lookin a bit dodgy alright
    maybe he would have been better defendin against kiko
    id hope rte could at least pick up either duddy lee or bute magee
    and premier/setanta ireland could pick up the other one

    I would be fairly confident Sky will pick up Martinez's fight, and they will screen Duddy-Lee, but only because it's on that promotion. Also I would be more than surprised if Sky or Setanta don't show Magee-Bute, as Sky have shown an interest in Froch lately, and it's no secret that the winner of the supersix will box Bute at the end of the year. This would be Sky's way of introducing Bute to a British audience and building an interest around the potential "superfight" Froch-Bute.

    I still think Gavin is the best prospect by some way. Brickfists would be a definite second though imo.

    are people really worried? could it not be a case that Rigo just didnt get a work permit??

    Re TV-when I was down with Casey Monday RTE were there filming a bit for the news etc. cant imagine them doing that if they are not going to air it?
