    We don't know that. It's not an exact science. Sky do market research obviously but they don't know (for example) how many people like me subscribe mainly for the boxing and are on the verge of binning them.

    The first heavyweight one was decent enough and look what it has done for Martin Rogan.

    apart from top rank , golden boy are the other big promoters. sky seem to have some sort of deal with them but they seem to only show hatton and de la hoya fighting. without setanta we would have no usa boxing. the amount of usa boxing we are missing out on is a joke. the campbell bill and the marquez - diaz in a couple of weeks look like they are not going to be shown live. and if setanta cant show cotto v jennings , will sky bother showing it. sky always used to show berto fighting. they showed him winning the title. then he had a big fight with callazo and suddenly they dont bother with him anymore. if we cant get live coverage would it be possible to get delayed coverage the next day or a couple of days later. eurosport are showing better boxing than sky - the problem is it is 2 months late.

    i sent sky an email on this very subject a couple of days ago. have not had a response yet. maybe if others did the same they might take abit of notice. i think setanta do their bit and if sky showed some of the golden boy cards we would have most of the fights that we are looking live on tv.
