    We will get the Moore v Rhodes fight live, but will not get the 2 British title fights in full unless they go short

    Lets on bombard Sky for an explanation why we get 2nd class treatment to every other sport

    The have started showing more live fights other than the headliner. Such as Jefferies and Price last night due for 6 rounds. But i agree we should be able to watch all 3 fights live next week as they are all cracking match-ups. With the 2 hour slot its obviously not going to be feasible

    Even so, there's is not much chance of seeing the unbeaten prospects Rick Godding, Rose and Arnfiled especially if the title fights go into passed the middle rounds

    Someone made a good point the other day about watching the undercard fights from 8 by pressing the red button. The Sky team are already there so i dont see how this is a problem

    The problem would be that it increases the cost of what is supposed to be low budget programming

    Perhaps if the cameras were not already there and they had to make alterations to get the team at the venure earlier, but thats not the case, all the fights on the Friday card are filmed, so in truth can it really be that much more expensive?

    To broadcast an extra 2 hours of live TV for virtually no extra income because people won't advertise on something people won't watch
