    According to Steve Bunce they're working hard to get the Tarver v Dawson and Klitschko v Peter cards on the same night.

    Kinda makes up for them not getting Diaz v Katsidis and Casa v JMM, should they get them of course.

    The home of boxing?

    Katsidis? It goes up against Khan, England and Chuck Liddell? What TV executive in their right mind would buy any fight on that night? Think about it please before making sarcastic remarks.
    Adios.

    COme on Buncey! You know Katsidis v Diaz is going to be a great scrap. Plus the Khan fight and England match will already be over by then.

    Setanta are shite.

    Don't know why anybody would subscribe to them, biggest rip off merchants and scam artists out there.

    I'd never give them any of my money, would rather watch a choppy feed than line their pockets.

    Hold on a minute fella. If Setanta is the home of boxing then give me your definition of that. I applaud Setanta for doing what they've done but perhaps call themselves something less saviour-like or nothing at all.

    And as for Khan, I wont go on but £14.95 for a card of too many TBA's and Khan v Prescott and Arthur v Cook just isn't on. I've got a baby boy due this week so £14.95 is a no-go.

    Keep up the good work Buncey. The show's brilliant.

    Due to the time difference it would only actually be going up against Chuck Lidell and Setanta have shown big boxing and UFC cards on the same night before. The Katsidis v Diaz fight would be shown hours after Khan's fight and yee wouldn't be charging any extra money either so you aren't really forcing people to choose between the two.

    you guys are knobs sometimes.

    if your prepared to pay £25 a month for your subscription to setanta then you can expeect every single boxing match. but were pay£12.50 and you get most of the top fights.

    there not showing Casamayor vs Marquez as they are showing Campbell vs Guzman that night.

    how amny big fights from the US did Sky not show in 2007? then setanta came along and we saw almost every decent fight from the states and elsewhere in 08.

    I agree.SKY SPORTS are the double dipping rip-off merchants.
    The mediocre stuff they put on PPV nowadays is appalling.

    I'm pretty happy with what I get for my £15 quid off Setanta. Most big fights, the UFC and Liverpool TV.

    I pay €19.99 or £16.17, in the UK yee pay £6.50 for 3 months and then £12.99 after. There is also a €10 fee for subscribing over here so maybe I just expect a little more than you seeing as I'm paying a little more.


    I'm fairly happy with what I'm getting with Setanta but until I'm paying something along the lines of €16, I'm going to have a little moan now and then when I don't get what I want.
