FFN definately gone downhill, I think I mentioned it before that Elcock - Eastman was rejected by SKY but now Prospect v. Teak Tough Hungry African is ok
I suppose the combination of HS going to ITV4 and FW & Maloney saving title fights for the Khan/Hatton PPVs doesn't help matters
Still at least SKY showing this helps the likes of Cleverly, Broadhurst, Cox, etc to be brought on a decent speed
The only slight consolation is that Jamie Cox is fighting Mark Lloyd on the undercard. Jamie should win this one and I'm certainly not saying it's a 50/50 fight, but Lloyd is certainly a lot better then the normal piss-poor opponents that allegedly's prospects are allowed to feed on. Lloyd is also fighting in front of a home crowd so it will be a good experience for Jamie. Go on Coxy!!
Yes main event is rubbish though.

I have cancelled both my Sky and Setanta - I will admit its killing me absolutely driving me nuts - however I will refuse to start up again until both channels get a grip.
Sky and Setanta are ****s!!! - for a boxing and football lunatic like me to be turned against them should tell them they are on the slippery slope - however in reality they don't give a flying f*ck!!!
Yeah, FFN is on shakey ground. That silly start time means that only the main event is live, and the rest of it is more of a discussion/review show with hightlights from fights.

The joke about that fight with Lloyd was that he was supposed to fight Brook for the British title until Sky made a great decision to refuse the fight, imagine that fight if it had of gone ahead.

ITV 4 bills are more fun.
It amazes me that despite having 4 channels to broadcast on that they can't show the entire card on one of them, it's not as if friday nights are busy either, I don't think anything other than rugby is shown live on a friday.
