    skys boxing coverage was a joke last night it was poor value for money only giving us half the fights on the cards and had no depth with regards to interviews insights etc, one thing setanta did was taking coverage of the game to another level devoting enough time to shows for build up action and analysis of if not all but most of the card and they never even had ppv fights
    i for one wont be getting a sky ppv cqard again until they up there game... any thoughts

    I completely agree and we're not alone. We should collectively complain to Sky. The analysis, commentary and decision not to televise Enzo-Lebedev, Mitchell and Brook-Lomax was pathetic, IMO. We didn't even get highlights at the end. While we're at it, we should campaign to get rid of the entire 'panel' and commentary team. I am now convinced that idiot (I don't care what his name is) in commentary is a know-nothing idiot; he probably mentioned the actual fight last njight about 3 times- the rest was all 'Wildcard this', 'Ricky Hatton next?'. Sky are the only people who keep talking up the Hatton fight anyway. It's a disgrace that bloke is even allowed to sit next to Jim Watt.

    Just a heads up if you wanna see the Brook and Enzo fights think theyre showing them on the PPV replay - Its showing the Hall Small fight now and has already shown the olympians and Khan so they'll be next

    Totally agree mate. I still can't see why they just didn't start the Pay-Per-View when the show started. They would be there filming it anyway, its on pay-per-view so no scheduling problems, the only reasons I can think of is the panel/presenters/commentators can't be arsed to start that early.

    Joke. Didnt show Enzo Macc or Kell Brook, and they couldve easily showed it recorded. The Enzo fight looked like a right battle!

    Def not worth the £15.

    :lol:

    It certainly was a **** take wasn't it. I feel so under valued being a boxing fan nowdays I'm telling you! Just hope the UK version of ESPN follows in Setanta's ways.
