    Setanta are great value for money..unlike sky.

    The UFC fight cards live are superb and you have loads of boxing as well.

    I think your asking a bit much for them to show a great UFC card and also a US boxing card at the same time :patsch.

    Some people are just greedy.

    They are "the home of boxing", not the home of UFC! Anyway, Katsidis-Diaz is a fight I really want to see but I don't expect every big fight to be televised. They are doing a very good job and never charge an extra 15 quid for fights, unlike a certain other channel.

    I'm not a huge UFC fan but I see your point. After Setanta missed out on Vazquez v Marquez it's just disappointing that they've missed out on what should be another humdinger of a bout.

    But they are showing Campbell v Guzman in the lightweight division which is an intriguing fight to look forward too.

    Gotta agree with you bodysnatcher....
    i mean looking at the fights that are coming up we should be onto a winner....
    Calzaghe v Roy Jones
    Pavlik v Hopkins
    Haye v Toney (fingers crossed if not a decent heavyweight)
    DLH v Manny
    Plus some decent UFC fights as well.....
    A lil whisper has also come my way indicating that some decent fights are nearly done an dusted ready to be shown on setanta!!?
    Daaammmn......after all that talk i nearly forgot about the credit crisis were in!!?

    If Sky were doing half as good a job as Setanta, we boxing fans would be laughing. Sky should be showing Katsidis-Diaz as part of - or, preferably, separate from - the Khan PPV. The 12 quid we're paying Setanta is value for money, whereas the 40 quid we're paying Sky is becoming a rip-off.

    Thumbs up to Sentana from me (so far) for both boxing, and footy coverage for the money. :good

    Yeah I think setanta do a good job.

    Is Campbell Vs Guzman on setanta because I remember Buncey saying it was not long ago but its not on the website.

    Also one thing I like about setanta/bunceys boxing hour is how they cover ALL boxing, you'd never catch sky or any other channel mentioning let alone practically promoting other TV channel's fights. By the way my first post on here (have been coming on here a bit) so hello like.
