    Great news, something to keep me from going out tomorrow night, stay in and watch Paulie win by UD.

    Great lineup

    Yeah good luck with that - you'll need it. Setanta's administration are ****ing useless. Let me repeat that - they are ****ing useless. I'm having a lot of trouble with them at the moment with them paying me outstanding money etc but I'm reluctant to cancel looking at that line up. Those ****s have me over a barrel it seems. :D

    There effort to show boxing puts Sky to shame. Sky have dissapointed me after making a promising contribution in parts of '07. Luckily enough for me I didn't just get Sky for the boxing. I happen to at times be a lazy **** and enjoy nothing more than sitting on my ass watching film after film after film. However, if I only used Sky for boxing I wouldn't be too amused with their line up. :deal

    I always said that what was annoying was that we were not given the opportunity to veiw fights from America. Now we are (at a cost) so I suppose we shouldn't complain too much.

    you really got to hand it to setanta. great line up, big american fights we normally would not get to see. excellent effort.
    just hope enough people are signed up so they dont go bust.

    1 am start time tonight setanta 2.

    they have just started advertising it.

    with the early start that looks like they are televising the whole bill.

    Saturday, Jan. 5 - Atlantic City, NJ (Showtime)
    Paul Malignaggi vs. Herman Ngoudjo
    Glen Johnson vs. Mike Culbert
    Lovemore N'dou vs. Rafael Ortiz
    Yuriorkis Gamboa vs. Freddie Norwood
    Chazz Witherspoon vs. Kendrick Relefor

    norwood is out and a trialhorse is in v gamboa but still worth watching him.
    hope it lasts a few rounds.
     
  9. Setanta are doing great for boxing but how long before they start getting greedy and ask for PPV?

    + Their freeview service finishes early so if you got that you can't watch fights from the states @ 3:00am or thereabouts.

    This is what annoys me with Setanta - am I missing something? By finishing freeview at 3am they are alienating these viewers.

    I got Setanta for one reason only - boxing. But it seems that I'm going to miss all the stateside fights - ridiculous!

    I'd go ****ing loopy if they did. To pay for Sky, then pay extra for Setanta and then pay a PPV charge on top - I'd have to rob a bank to pay for all that!

    The only thing I miss with Setanta is that they dont replay big fights from the States at 9am like Sky sports.

    The earliest ive seen them replayed is at 12.30pm on sunday and if you dont want to know the result thats a long time to wait.
