    setanta have been great for boxing but apparently the future's not rosey because of them not getting the rights to Premier Football from 2010 onwards.
    The Guardian are running a poll to see if people will keep subscribing after that date.
    Could be worth us boxing fans voting a yes to give it a 'big up' ... especially if there bosses and money men pay any attention to the results.
    Think we we only have a certain time to vote and link is ....

    Well, I can't stand football, so unless the level / amount of boxing on Setanta decreases sufficiently, I'll still subscribe.

    Just voted and it's at 73.9%. I have Setanta predominantly for the boxing and the boxing hour although i do watch the AFL and rugby, never watch football.

    Yep I voted yes, good call by the thread author. I watch the odd game on setanta but I prefer sky for football as it's in HD.

    HD matters less for boxing as it is shown up close and the pundits on setanta are streets ahead of the corporates on sky.

    Vote. Vote the lot of ya. Behind the scenes...still got the Bunce Hour, still got about 12 live shows lined up...still don't know about Marquez and Diaz...still fighting for all the fans.
    Let's vote and show the media world that a few upset journalists should not be allowed to influence the public at large. Here's a question...when was the last time that the Guardian covered a British title fight?
    Vote, vote and vote. It's simple. Thanks.

    Adios.

    Let's prove a point and vote heavily - the men in charge of Setanta (that would be the men that pay my wages!) also need to be reminded that boxing is a big, big part of the business.
    Thanks.

    Adios.

    Just voted yes.

    I wouldn't be able to live with just "Crappy Friday fight night" on Sky Sports, the rubbish "Week later replay - woeful commentators - not the fight listed in the paper - starts at the wrong time" Eurosport stuff, and the dodgy "radio stations";) that pick up the other fights.

    I voted "yes". I only really subscribed for the boxing, getting live UFC is just a great bonus.

    I do watch a little bit of football, but it's hardly a deal breaker for me.
