    I think they'll show the Klit fight to try and build up the fight with Haye.

    I can definitely see that happening to be fair, I reckon they could be waiting to see how Haye fairs saturday then pick it up maybe??

    They definitely have Holt/Torres? Great news

    And dont forget they have the rights to the Hayemaker promotions shows so should have some decent domestic fights too. You have to remember setanta is still cheaper per-month than 1 ppv from sky.

    Setanmta are leaking money like nobodies business apparently. Millions and millions in debt, sinking fast according to some.

    Its an all or nothing marketing gamble it seems. Looks like its paying off at the moment they've got lots of support but they need to start showing the normal domestic fights and capatilise where other channels are falling short.

    Any chance of reducing the price?

    I am torn between dropping Setanta and Sky Sports 2!

    Most of the RL, cricket and boxing is on SS1 - so SS2 might be the one to go.......

    I'm a tight ****, I know :lol:

    If you have Virgin, you have Setanta with Sky Sports, so there's no need to drop any.

    No major disaster that there's no fights following Nov, as Dec is always quiet.

    Bet Setanta would have liked RJJ to have won maybe 3 more rds. With the KD, it'd have been 115-112 and they could have done a comfortable, winnable for Joe, big money, "groundbreaking" & legendary & redemptive and essential, rematch next year.

    How much is Virgin?

    Do you have to have the ductwork laid to your house, because I don't think they have it in LS11!

    Sky running at profit though, unless you've seen different.

    the only long temr deal setanta have is with hayemaker promotions,and that is it.

    after the calzaghe fight i suspected it would end up like this.i dunno if setanta hace long term view.

    im not a big sky sports fan but they have loads of domestic boxing,which i cant falter them all for that.but these deals are about for a 2years at least.

    Yeah tbh sky do pretty well domestically i love friday fight nights, but otherwise setanta pisses on sky imo. No ppv is always a winner in my eyes
