If Fox Sports cared...

[ipswich express]

They'd have an excellent opportunity to have shut us all up and show boxing fans that they actually give a rats, this weekend. With Mainevent is showing the UFC, Fox Sports had a great opportunity to show either:

Pavlik vs Lockett, world 160lbs title or Forrest v Mora, WBC 154lbs title with an undercard featuring Quintana v Williams II and Bowie Tupou in his hardest test yet.

Sadly the days of getting these type of cards shown on Fox Sports Live are dead and burried.

UFC is f*cking cr@p to in comparison to boxing. The Forrest v Mora card would be unreal, looking at the undercard. Williams v Quintana will be excellent, and i would love to see Toupu in action. Damn fox sports. I am suprised people actually watch the UFC that heavily in Aus.

[Kegsy]

Pavlik-Lockett card is good too with a great undercard match between WBO Super Bantamweight Champ Daniel Ponce De Leon & undefeated Puerto Rican sensation Juan Manuel Lopez.

I just cancelled my austar, i told the dick on the phone the boxing coverage was really poor, he came back with " i thought it was pretty good "

So i asked him if he watched any boxing and he said, no, what a fuckhead!!!!

It's piss poor really. I downloaded that *** recently and watched the Hatton v Lazcano fight, completely uninterrupted, streamed perfectly, which is something I've never had with *******.

I don't really understand the difference between the two though or why this would be the case. I'm hoping that *** will have the big fights from now on, as that's where boxing fans will have to resort to, when Mainevent turn their backs on the sport.

It's sad to say but UFC must be getting bigger numbers in Australia for FOX MAINEVENT to keep playing their cards. :-(

My beef with Fox is that they should give a reply during the week, instead of showing things like poker, wind sailing and worlds stongest man replys from 2002.

Hey mate do *** have alot of fights?

Hey mate do *** have alot of fights?

I'm really not sure. They have that MMA channel, like *******. They also had the versus channel, which is what Hatton v Lazcano was shown on, in the US.

Hi, new member here.

I'm frustrated with Fox Sports coverage too, they could show these sorts of fights but they usually wheel out that Fightsports knockouts crap. I emailed setanta to see if they would be showing any boxing in the near-future but they never replied to me.

Yeah i emailed Setanta about the boxing too, as they are showing the Pavlik fight in the UK.
That was over a week ago & still no reply as well.:-(

Yeah that's why i did as well, i saw they'd signed a deal to show Top Rank's fights till the end of the year.

One question , Are all Mundine's fights PPV on Fox ?

Every single one of them from day dot mate. Disgusting. Mind you, surely only a few would've paid for them all.

[ipswich express]

Should add, it's been a very smart marketing stratergy. I can't think of a single other boxer ever, that's had every single one of his fights as a PPV.

[JOSEY WALES]

Every single one of them from day dot mate. Disgusting. Mind you, surely only a few would've paid for them all. There's your problem Ippy , Fox TV probably thinks it can earn decent enough revenue off Mundine what with all the casual boxing fans paying through the nose to watch shit fights at the expense of real boxing fans , as the old saying goes ,when you got a lemon you squeeze it mate , Fox by the sounds of it don't give a shite about the real fans and what would be quality viewing , hence that twats reaction to Marcus's question , but you are right it sounds as if Mundine's entire career has been in Tandem with Fox's wishes , they must have earned millions off PPV by probably billing Mundine as the super middle weight champ of the world to convince mug punters it is the case when as we all know it ain't .. :deal

I think when it finally sank in that fox don't give a shit about boxing was their failure to show even a replay of Vazquez/Marquez III.

It's funny you should say that, I stupidly left the room and had my pc on and when I came back from the shitter or something my boss was sitting at my desk reading esb.

All he said was if I was looking forward to the Mundine fight:lol:

Its a fact. But hey we live in Australia and have some of the best Kickboxers in the world and that plays right into the UFC and MMA's hands over here.

But hey i like UFC just like i like watching K1 and John Wayne Parr. But each to there own i suppose.

But why do you think the Ultimate Fighter Show gets aired constantly on Pay TV because they know the numbers are huge.

Ultimate Fighter Show on Pay TV had 7 or 8 times the viewers than the Contender series did.

Yeah i'm gonna be busy downloading this sunday for sure

Will have my own custom fight night Sunday night :)
