Cotto vs Jennings still not confirmed on Setanta

[robpalmer135]

Absolute disgrace. Its not setantas fault, frank ****** not letting them show it. what a twat.

[ro88o]

i thought it was confirmed as a double bill with pavlik?

[Chinny]

Rob, Bunce confirmed this was on setanta the other day on the bunce hour. Where are you getting this?

[SouthpawSlayer]

he is gettin it from last night when they showed the forthcoming schedule they only have pavlik listed for the 21st, no cotto nor no mention of him either

[abzmanc]

I was on Betfair on friday night, very optimistic about Jennings....had the same odds to win as Cotto :nut

[Bunce]

There was mention of the fight last night. I said that talks are taking place. Michael is lined up for the show on Thursday. I hope that we know by then!

Adios.

[griff]

Let's hope Setanta gets the fight, Sky Sports never ever mentions Michael Jennings so they don't deserve the fight.

[RichDam]

It is not the most attractive fight for Setanta to spend big bucks on as Mike (through no fault of his own) is little known by the man on the street.

The Pavlik fight on the same night might not be part of the package and there is also the fear that Mike will be blasted out after a couple of rounds, and Bunce and co will then be left with plenty of airtime to fill.

Have alway been a fan of Jennings and feel his sound boxing ability and superb fitness will ensure he causes a few problems until at least the middle rounds. He is unlikely to stand and trade as Gary Lockett unwisely chose to do against Pavlik.

This is the perfect time to face Cotto because he is coming off an absolute shellacking by Margarito. If Jennings can get behind his his jab and use good movement to frustrate Cotto then who knows what could happen?

[kosaros]

Adios.

That is a bad move by setanta then if talks are taking place because they even had an advert on TV about the 'double-bill' with the Pavlik fight. Plus there was a countdown on the setanta website (don't know if it is still there) for the fight.

[JIM KELLY]

yeah i had itchy feelings about this, but wasn't it confirmed like 2 weeks ago that tthe full bill is on the go? I hope we get it in its entirety. What other fights are to be shown on that card?

[robpalmer135]

yeh they have had it on there schedule and they said it was going to be on. not good.

the worst part is if they just show the fights from ohio and none of the new york card. thats got john dudy and anthony peterson on it.

[ninebar]

I thought Setanta had a deal with Top Rank?
Cotto/Pacquiao/Pavlik/Margarito all fight on Setanta no?

[D.Haye-no1-p4p]

I thought Setanta had a deal with Top Rank?
Cotto/Pacquiao/Pavlik/Margarito all fight on Setanta no?
Yeah, and Jennings is ******.

[Chinny]

I thought Setanta had a deal with Top Rank?

Yes but my understanding is:
- excludes bout where a British fighter has his own TV deal
- ****** has TV deal with Sky
- ****** promotes Jennings

So, the legal wrangling is about whether Jennings 'has a TV deal'. :deal

Legal bollocks. I'm not going to worry too much, it will be shown somewhere, hopefully setanta.

Thanks, Cotto vs Jennings is really the fight i want to see,

I'm a big Cotto fan but hope Michael doesn't get Destroyed over there because he seems like a good guy.

[slapbangwhallop]

feck it!

I am more intereste in seeing the undercard of the Cotto fight than the Pavlik fight.

Duddy, Wolak, Peterson and Korobov -should be all good

[GazOC]

They've just had an advert on Setanta saying they will be showing the Pavlik fight, no mention of Cotto-Jennings. I'd guess its on Sky.

... It's not 100% confirmed as i see it? or shall we just go with what the setanta website reads?

[SouthpawSlayer]

fuck frank ******

[SeasideSlugger]

I'm sure there is all legal stuff and small print but Setanta have a deal to show Cotto. He's the big draw, not Jennings. It just seems as though Frank is trying to muscle in and flex his pecs a bit. He's still going to get a chunk of cash to blow on the slottys.

[Chinny]

****** quite often pulls sneaky, spiteful little stunts. Like signing an exclusive boxing deal with the MEN, just as he loses Hatton.
IMO

[maz]

Good news about cotto - jennings.

Any idea about the JMM - diaz fight? Will it be on setanta or sky?

:patsch ur right.

[Jordan]

Yeah they are poor with updatingnthe site, I would say disregard that page as its the same as before Xmas.

Ps. Get the JMM/Diaz fight Setanta!!!

[Bodysnatcher]

Cotto vs Jennings is on their `boxing coming up` page now.

No idea about the undercard arrangements. I've noticed Setanta have started going directly to the main event for the past few broadcasts from the States, which I find irritating.

[Healy]

Id only stay up if say the Duddy fight was on it aswell, then you could keep Uk and Irish fans happy

Any hope of seeing Duddy, Steve Bunce??

[antcull]

Anyone see the advert during the boxing hour :?

"Next Saturday, Pavlik v Rubio!!!"

No mention of Cotto-Jennings :-( WTF is happening with this fight!!!!
****** your a cunt

[Guy]

The Cotto-Jennings fight is on Setanta.
It's on the website with a countdown leading up to it.

[JIM KELLY]

Bunce didn't mention anything about fights showing on setanta!

[johnny2sprouts]

I was on Betfair on friday night, very optimistic about Jennings....had the same odds to win as Cotto :nut

I wouldn't take too much notice of the odds in this country. Any bookies in one fighter's home country will have shorter odds on their own boy. People back their own and if he wins the bookies take a spanking.

He's picked a good time to fight Cotto though. Cotto sees this as an easy come back but we all saw what happened to Lacy after JC took him to the cleaners. Maybe the same will happen with Cotto after 'plaster fists' Margo caned him.

[Bodysnatcher]

According to the schedule, the program doesn't start until 3:00am.

Considering it's taking place in the east coast and not Vegas, it looks like they'll be cutting out the undercards.

Balls.

[robpalmer135]

theres a quality undercard.

[Bodysnatcher]

theres a quality undercard.

Setanta showed all kinds of undercards last year, notably Calzaghe vs Jones Jr which was called exceptionally poor by many (but I was still glad to see it).

It'll be crazy if they don't show a really good undercard like the Cotto-Jennings one...they should show Duddy's fight at least.

[SouthpawSlayer]

so is it confirmed bunce can you confirm this and is there any undercard

[p.Townend]

It better be on,what are setanta playing at,they have been saying they have the fight for ages.If sky are behind this its a disgrace they have no interest in boxing at all unless they can rip us all off with a box office event.For a sports channel with 3 or 4 different channels running the fact that they only offer us Friday fight night is pathetic.I wish they would just leave boxing alone and let someone who is interested in the sport show all the fights.They should stick to what they know best football,cricket and fucking golf.

[mithffg]

think its being shown at 10 am sunday morning on setanta which is a pain in the arse

Re: Cotto-Jennings. We are contractually unable to show the fight but are working hard on this and are still hoping we will be allowed to screen it. As soon as we know one way or the other for definite, we will publish the information on setanta.com.

[llwynog]

is this because of Frank ****** ? if it is then it just shows what he thinks of boxing fans !!

[JIM KELLY]

frank ****** can suck a horse's cock!!!!!

[ninebar]

The fight's on Saturday, someone better make a fucking decision!
I don't care who shows it at this stage as long as it's on (Duddy as well).

If they're contractually unable to show the fight, why the fuck did they have it listed on their schedule?

It did say TBC but for me, you don't list a fight until you have it.

[Guy]

frank ****** can suck a horse's cock!!!!!

Can He!!!

He would ppv it on Nuts TV.

[JIM KELLY]

Bunce will probably tell us tomorrow.

[hit me HARDER]

If this isn't on live I will fucking kick off. On whom I have not yet decided.

I'm thinking maybe Bunce, he gets too much of a free-pass on ESB for my liking.

COME ON JENNO LAD, STICK ONE RIGHT ON THIS ANIMALYMPIC-LOOKING BASTARD.

[robpalmer135]

bucney told us the fight was on setanta. he has to answer why he said that when it clearly was not.

buncey is the link between setanta and and the hardcore fans. if setanta fuck up he has to take the stick, hes the man to attack

i dont think you can blame bunce for setanta not showing the fight. its to do with contract numbo jumbo.

you can certainly blame bunce for telling us the fight was going to be on setanta when it was not confirmed and it always seemed to be in doubt.

[p.Townend]

As it stands at 4am Thursday the show scheduled for 10am Sunday morning on setanta just says.An international boxing match or words to that effect.I dont think its going to be on setanta i hope im wrong.I dont blame Bunce for it he was clearly told by others the fight was bought.

Hmmm....yeah it could be seen as Pavlik Rubio is on SS2 at the same time. :think

[Farmboxer]

Most likely a mismatch, but everyone will know pretty soon.

[robpalmer135]

yeh buncey may have been told it was going to be 100% sorted.

[Bunce]

57 and 58. You are both right - I take all the credit and I should take the blame. Sorry. By the way...you have blown your chances in the dvd comp!! Only kidding.
I hope to have good news today.

Adios.

[alba]

yeh buncey may have been told it was going to be 100% sorted.

i think were all being a wee bit unfair to buncey on this matter ,he is the presenter not the exxecutive makingthe decisons on who buys what fight .

[robpalmer135]

yeh we are but he is the only way we can get our message to setanta is throught big daddy bunce.

Shove your DVD up your hoop Bunce, if Jennings doesn't end up being on Setanta I'm going to teach you some respect, Iranian old-country style. Until you love me.

Good thing about Buncey is that at least he comes on here and let us know what he knows. I've never seen any other presenter come on here to answer our questions.

Hopefully we hear good news...come on Stevie boy!

[hit me HARDER]

BUMP......What's the news folks??


EDIT: Apologies, I fucked up.

[Guy]

It's on Setanta 2, confirmed.
