    someone should send a virus to the sky site shutting it down and putting a message up saying we promise to show more boxing.

    (If i don't post within the next 24 hours than murdoch has sent his boys around to shut me up)

    :rofl

    I just checked- suprise, suprise, they haven't put anything up mentioned on here. Someone should send a comment with nothing but praise for Sky and we can all laugh when it's published!:lol:Sky's very own media-spin arm.

    Of course Setanta purchased sport to get subscribers. That's the way TV channels operate. Why did Sky pay over the odds to get the first Premier League contract? Because without it they would have gone out of business.

    The difference between Sky and Setanta is that Sky had News International backing them through their early years.

    I've just sent them this........

    "I hope and Pray that Sky show this message however I doubt they will. Adam you are trying to fool a fanbase which can see it is being shortchanged. You can fool the football/cricket fans as they have other options and means of watching their sports which may gloss over what you say. Us boxing fans will not see no boxing unless yourselves at Sky show it. Setanta have gone and since the days of Harrison, the BBC have refused to show it (cheers Audley). We know when you aren't showing the fights because we CANNOT WATCH IT ANYWHERE ELSE. Take PPV shows (£15 and we dont get to see the whole card) away from your figures and what are we left with ? Friday Night fights which are generally full of meaningless Commonwealth/Lonsdale defenses and 1 per bill at that, and maybe 3 or 4 US cards at best. Sky used to be a fantastic outlet for Boxing fans however nowadays your coverage is abysmal. The problem stands is that at the moment your coverage is the best so you have no need to change this ! Why aren't you picking up the Hayemaker fights now ? Why aren't you picking up the Super 6 Tourny ? Why haven't you snapped up the Sauerland and Top Rank deals which Setanta had. You'd get them cheap now wouldn't you ? Please ansewr this and dont just ignore it like you have done with all the other messages you have done so far !!!"

    Lads the more people of this site bombard his blog the better I say. Skys love in with football and cricket is a joke I like my football but what they have done and always do do is concentrate on those sports more than boxing. Even look at the Darts they show great coverage of ****ing darts a fat mans sport. Boxing the fine art is getting screwed by these and this bellend should get bombarded over his blog. If he was a real boxing fan he wouldn't be happy at the lack of coverage at Sky for the big fights from the US be it live or delayed but prints this blog. Grow some balls is what I say and tell it how it is how poor the coverage is like any other boxing fan would do.

    Just sent this:

    We know full well that Sky have been censoring critical comments. We've even had a good laugh about it here:

    http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=166745

    By leaving out critical comments you are only pasting over your own subscribers' honest feedback on your organisation's abysmal coverage of boxing- if you really don't care what your paying customers think then that is up to you.

    Now, you've set a precedent here so I don't expect this message to be printed- I would much rather you printed my original comment.

    Cheers, Adam and the Sky Stooges.
