    As a Brit living in new Zealand I often miss the big fights. I was wondering if there is an online radio station that has boxing on it so that I can at least listen to Haye vs Barett and Calzaghe vs Jones etc. Im not after a feed just radio, its not ilegal as in the UK radio 5 has the fights on it.

    Sadly it doesn't allow you to listen outside of the U.K, I did find a site for Hatton Vs Mayweather but i forgot what it was.

    I honestly wouldnt mind paying a small fee, The problem is I don't have sky and the sports bars are no good as the Kiwis would rather watch netball than a Brit in a world class fight.

    No, it covers all BBC programs, tv and radio. They don't just rely on this fee though, as they have other sources of funding.

    It's still a ripoff, though.

    Talksport is available in other countries. All we have to do is persuade them to actually talk about sport. (they were better when they were just plain "Talk" radio.)

    It's the same price as Setanta more or less.

    You get all the BBC TV channels, the radio channels, and the internet sites - services.
