Glad to hear it. Now they've wasted marketing time and they wonder why boxing doesn't get popular. ITV best let people know this is on. It's got a serious bill. They got three major 12 rounders to get through on ITV1!

[The Hitman]

I'm guessing this means we get Enzo vs Big Truck as well?

I always prefer these sorts things on SKY, they are much more professional in their presentation, ITV always seems half-hearted about boxing.

ITV are poor at absolutely everything they do.

I only saw the first advert for the boxing this weekend, so I do agree that ITV need to start advertising the boxing more. I wonder if this would have to come out of ITV's pocket or whether ****** would have to pay for it.

the more ITV advertise the shows, the more viewers they can attract and the more they can charge for other companies to advertise during the shows - remember, they show one 30 second advert between practically every round, and then there are the full 2 minutes worth of ads between fights. that must bring in a lot of cash prime time especially before/during/after the main event!

Sky may be more professional (if you can stomach Jim Watt), but they're still responsible for killing boxing in the UK.

No ITV was for selling their golden goose that gave them 8 million plus viewers on a Saturday night...

If we live a free enterprise economy, you cannot blame SKY for taking advantage of ITV's ineptness.

True.

The other channels have also played their roles in the demise of boxing. If setanta can challenge sky and its only just expanding then why couldnt the traditional analogue channels do it years ago.

[NOrth]

just think though, we'd still be faffing around with tin pot football leagues if sky hadnt have pumped money into the game. Regardless. ITV want it? Maybe, although hasnt the BBC's head of programming or something (the one that axed boxing from the beeb) gone to ITV!?! So im not sure how long they'll want it for! Surprised Mr ****** hasnt gone for a PPV channel on sky. £5 a month or something.

[TBooze]

I still blame Sky generally, because they're evil.

Hey I am all up for a bit Marxist control that would see Murdock hung, drawn and quartered; problem there is all boxing becomes amateur...

Thanks, Something to look forward to now.

[DamonD]

Very glad it's finally been confirmed. I didn't want to miss out on these fights.

considering sky has 4 PPV sports channels and the fact they tie up eurosport to a tv package, when in fact it is meant to be a free channel means there budget for boxing should be much greater than it is and there programme controller should have been much harder and stricter with ****** when he was with there network.

sky do, do quantity , but they have severly cut back on quality.

if they spent a 1/ 50th of there football budget on boxing it would have been great for us spectators.

i mean with 100 plus games a season , is there really a need for sky to spend 500k per game on say wigan v blackburn or scunthorpe v the kings head 3rd team.

maybe now they have lost some of the football to setanta, they can spend a little more money on boxing. but they'll probably go and spend the money on bulgarian ladies snooker or somethin...

Sky has gft enough money invested boxing, I would just like to see them spend it more wisely.

Have no more than four top notch British shows a year, the rest should be spent on showing excellent quality international boxing.

If you want to get new fans intrested in the sport, you cannot lie. For example Ian Napa and Jason Booth may be honest hard working pros, but neither is ever going to set the world alight, they should not be headlining a boxing show on SKY.

If SKY helps to create international boxing stars, it will help local British shows because more people will want to go and see live fights, and that will help the likes of Napa and Booth rightly earn more money.
