so lets make them show the April 10 card in Las Vegas Live

Wladimir Klitschko v Lamon Brewster
Cory Spinks v Zab Judah

you sure WE managed to sway them?

They are giving us Pacquaio-Marquez, Mayweather-Corley we cant expect too much. We'll be wanting Jones-Tarver as well. If we get it, we get it, if we dont...we dont.

the amount of dough i pay out to sky (well, cable) each month i expect to see these cards from the states, god knows i have to put up with enough f#####g skateboarding, international windsurfing and golf tournaments that look like they`ve just sent a film crew down to the local municipal.

i think it's important to add that this is a Don King card. The rights to his shows aren't TVKO or HBO, but instead 'Kingvision'. That may make it harder to buy his fights...more expensive maybe? But his cards are the best around.

Exactly, SKY makes it's customers pay out of their arses, so they least they can do is show live fights.

One thing is for certain, if DLH and Hopkins pull through their next fights, we are all gonna have to make sure SKY shows this fight live. If it's not, the butterflies and anticipation will be taken away.

Sky's service does extend beyond boxing you know.

What with Cotto v Valenzuela on the undercard this is a superb double header. Can't wait!!

Chambers · Post by **Chambers** » 30 Mar 2004, 05:29

Cotto is surely a future Hatton opponent, so I would of thought this would be a prime opportunity for them to showcase his skills to the British public and with a World HW title fight to boot (with arguably the second best HW in the world fighting) and with the much anticipated Judah Vs Spinks clash on the same bill as well, how can Sky not show it that is the question?

Kilburn · Post by **Kilburn** » 30 Mar 2004, 06:01

Chambers, Cotto isn't on the Klitschko/Spinks bill he's on the Paquiao v Marquez undercard on May 8th.

I know Valanzuela is a big underdog and rightly so but he's strong as a bull, big for the weight and you just know he's going to go steaming towards Cotto right from the first bell.

And that's just an appetiser.

We definately get to see the Cotto fight then, nice one

hopefully this Valanzuela geeza will be able to get in Cottos face and rush him abit (before Cotto sparks him)
