If you want half price sky for 6 months phone them up and cancel and they will offer 6 months for half price, take up that offer.

I would say Sky roughly show one big American bill a month - you can almost guarentee Morales, Mayweather, DLH, Freitas, Corrales, Cotto, fights to be on Sky.

Most of the time the shows are free on delay, although the last DLH / Hopkins double header was a PPV - I don't know what PPV's James has been watching

but the boxing ones range from 12 - 16 quid.

Sometimes there is a gap between the big fights, but I would say 12 major US fights per year is about correct.

He's awful, I have the dkp broadcast of Lewis-Holyfield 2 on vid and he gives Holy 8 or 9 rounds I think. Terribly biased.

Thanks Stu, that's basically what I needed to know, I reckon I'll go for it, try and get it before the next DLH fight.

Do me a favour revporl and put my name down as your "introducer" to Sky, then I get some free M&S vouchers when you sign up.

Second thoughts don't bother.
