    Setanta, the embattled sports broadcaster, is on the brink of collapse after its board failed to find an 11th hour solution at the weekend to save it from administration.
    The Irish broadcaster, which declined to comment, has been locked in survival talks since Friday and has explored various options including a fire sale of its international operations but it is understood that on Sunday night the company had not found any buyers.

    Yep I would agree, one channel should cover all sports, Sky Sports.

    Yeah, and just watch the subscription and PPV prices go through the roof. At least with Setanta in the mix we had some good boxing at a nice price.

    it looks like this is the end and its a real shame i have enjoyed setantas coverage of boxing and there bravery in backing sports like ufc etc
    as for namsu55 comment lets have it all on skysports well that is one of the most stupid posts i have ever read sky are a 24 hour rip off merchant who find clever ways to mug more money out of working class people just to watch tv, when sky launched back in the early ninties they charged £500 for the dish and the reciever and there were no subscription fees and they promised there wouldnt be a year on they launched a movie channel offering newish movies for £2 a month 16 years on sky now charges upto £500 a year to watch tv, they now make every decent fight ppv unlike setanta which means you are paying even more and trust me total domination will mean you are going to get fuked over big time
    i ve joined a site that charges £30 a year it streams all boxing including us/football/ufc etc in hd and it gives me pleasure that im knocking sky
