    So, Valuev-Chageav has been cancelled, will it be re-scheduled and shown on Setanta?

    Are they likely to get any other fights other than Cotto-Clottey and Haye-Wlad? :huh

    I'd be happy if they got a few of them. And the Juanma fight. But 2 fights in 3 months isn't enough to make me re-subscribe.

    The Juanma fight will be shown delayed the next day. Quigley-Magee is also on Setanta.

    They still need to get a few more fights over the coming months.

    I think that quality of the Bunce Boxing Hour with it's guests and interactive emails and posts of this site is worth the subscription.... maybe with the lack of fights they could and should give Buncey a 2 hour slot..... maybe with a live audience??? :good:good

    a sure no to these ones. Their staple is sauerland, top rank and hayemaker cards as they have deals with these promoters. very rarely do they show anything else, few exceptions like JMM-Diaz where lots of people lobby for it but with their lack of funds i dont see them getting any fights outside that group.
     
  9. Setanta haven't got a lot of fights lined up but I think they might be holding back a bit because of the current financial climate.
     
  10. That sounds a good idea to me. With all the football they show and getting LFC TV, I still think it's worth me paying the subscription.

    yes

    but you do know bunce boxing hour is on a free channel ?


    i miss screensport from the early 90's, setanta has the nearest 'feel' to what that channel was.

    Did Setanta not enter a deal with Top Rank? If so, will the Cotto-Clottey fight be a possibility?

    They have got Clottey/Cotto. It was advertised the other day.

    Anyone know if the delayed Latin Fury card will have the Paulie fight shown aswell?

    That might be Setanta's cue to move it across to S1 or S2 if they know it's popularity...they will soon twig if it's best boxing show is on a freebie and the punters aint willing to subscribe...2 hour slot with an audience and top guests will be great :good
