    :deal You're right mate, not much coming up; however it has looked like that before, then they have suddenly added loads, so fingers crossed!

    Then again, the Sky one is looking pretty shite too......................

    I've no doubt they'll deliver, they have been class so far.

    I assume they pick up fights late cos the fee will be smaller but it doesn't look good to potential subscribers when they look at the schedule and there's only 3 shows listed.

    I was hoping they'd pick up Harrison/Adams but the way Bunce was talking about him i'd doubt it.

    The Quillan/wright bill looks decent but i think Premier may get that.

    Hopefully the Lee/Chavez bill will be on.

    Sauerland may deliver something, they should be due another show in the next 6 weeks.

    Yes it is a sports channel, but between the four main sports channels they air 672 hours of sport per week, I don't think it's too much to ask for 2 hours of live boxing out of that total is it?

    To show a 2 hour live show and an episode of Ringside (total of 3 hours) still only equates to less than 0.5 % of their total output being boxing.

    Surely boxing deserves more than that?!

    :deal It is certainly feeling that way at the moment

    Both. Failing that a choice whether to watch a decent quantity of boxing.
