    Commentary and presentation is rubbish.

    Skys presentation is more pro (but who really cares?), and their commentary is if anything, worse. Jim Watt probably tips the **** scale in favour of sky there.

    They have spent so much on securing big fights, premier league football thats why the presentation suffers a wee bit. They are also knew, give them a couple of years, expect the presentation to improve.

    Come on. Skys Friday Night Fights are clubbfighter level. Most of these fighters are lucky to have a camera in the same room.

    As long as more boxing is actually screened i couldn't give a ****.. commentary or no commentary.....

    The fight in rounds screened is my business..

    More fights on British screens is great.......

    they are pretty crap and I hated them before but I have to give them credit, every night this week they have had a good program about the upcoming fight. Tonight it was a half hour preview with coverage from Vegas, last night it was 2 hours of Calzaghe fight footage from Eubank onwards.

    Was against setanta at first as I thought it was just expense upon expense in order to see all the various sports. In terms of boxing, however, not having to listen to Jim Watt makes it value for money whatever the production quality
