ESPN to basically replicate Setantas offering

[Spud]

Whoever changed the title of this thread is jumping the gun a bit to say the least.

Keep the pressure on chaps
ESPN have just set up a UK website. There is only 'register of interest info on at the moment, but once there are more contact details on there lets ramp it up again

Just stated as much on the other thread!!!

Interesting update on the related battle for the UFC contract. I’m not sure if ESPN winning would make it more or less likely to bid for boxing contracts.

ESPN’s purchase of FA cup right also apparently imminent

Channel 5 are not coming in for boxing at this stage - and at the moment ESPN are showing a lot of reluctance to commit to anyone after having a couple of promoters speak to them.

ESPN can pick and choose. Warren, Hobson and Hennessy look like they are all after a deal, that is an awful lot of good boxers.
