It says it's on Pay Per View in Britain in the Boxing Monthly preview but that would have been put out a while ago & i haven't heard anything else about it

I don't think SKY are showing it, they heard a rumour it could get competetive.

They did, but it was back then were Mosley was a CKP fighter. Eurosport have shown some Don King Undercards when some of their usual fighters have been on it ie Harris vs M'Baye

If someone offered me the chance to see these fights, or have my teeth ripped out, one by one, I'd have to really think about it....

Yeah the Rahman fight might not be too bad, but Ruiz/Golota could be a disaster - Ruiz is going to spoil and frustrate the Pole, maybe foul him a few times for good measure - and imagine what the nutty Pole's reaction will be: a 12 punch combo to the balls maybe?

Talking of Eurosport, I think the last time they showed live boxing from Britain was back in 2002 :(

REAL_DEAL · Post by **REAL_DEAL** » 28 Sep 2004, 09:26

Eurosport used to show calzaghe, hamed, etc when they were up coming fighters. i like the german bills but the spanish and itialian bills dont do anything for me.

UPDATE!

Any word of it being shown? Setanta would be fine, or Sky or something goddamnit the little bitches at Sky won't show it. There are people other than football fans you fags.

Still no sign of UK live coverage.

A Red Dragon order may be the order of the day.

It is on PPV according to Boxing Monthly so another source claims it is being shown

If anyone is struggling for a copy you can order it from Dominic Foley, the resident charlatan is charging £20 for a tape

To be honest, Steve I think that was a typo - it was said months ago, I'm sure Boxing Monthly would have waited untill it was formally announced (to the public) that it was on the TV. That is what they normally do.

Really disappointed I won't get to see this one live.

I don't suppose we'll get to see the other card either. Lacy/Vanderpool, Ouma/Phillips, Wlad/Williamson, plus Tommy Hearns' kid. Two decent cards in one night, and all we get is Hatton vs Stewart.

Does seem just, well, a little expensive!!!!!
Does he own the rights to resell ?

It's a f*****g disgrace Sky aren't showing this fight. Those clowns wouldn't know a decent fight from a hole in the ground.

( "You're offering us Ricky v Vilches?! Wow, great fight Frank!!" )

How long has Trinidad, one of the most exciting fighters we've seen in years, been around, and how many of his fights have Sky shown?

The sum total of three I reckon. Lueshing, Vargas and Oscar......pitiful.

Darke and co can rightfully hand their heads in shame. I can't be bothered with their shit coverage any longer and I'll be cancelling asap.

Any decent fights they manage to put on, I'll just watch in the pub.

Sky might do a late deal, its happened in the past - fingers crossed.

glittermonkey · Post by **glittermonkey** » 30 Sep 2004, 07:12

Yeah, fingers crossed, but i wouldn't hold your breath.
