ESPN Friday Night Fights

[bad mamma jamma]

Muggings here bought ESPN the other week cos they showed it live..then since that nothing...not even a recorded version..dies anyone know when the next one is on? Or is it just that there have been no further ones since the last one, which I remember had Guillermo Rigondeux on it?

I bought ESPN for the UFC as the missus brother was over the night of Mayweather Marquez. Since then I dont think Ive watched one thing on it... must cancel end of this month.

I bought it as well and never watch it. Waste of cash. The odd footy game and that`s about it.

I actually like ESPN Classic - some good shows on there.

I'm pretty certain it is the latter. I remember with the Rigondeaux fight they showed a montage of the best bits from that season so I think that is why there hasn't been any more.

Agreed, but I used to get that for free (or at least included in the sky package)

ESPN is a terrible channel apart from an odd football match. Eurosport got the other live sports from Setanta such as golf, cricket etc. This leaves boxing fans left out again, however I'm delighted to see this new PPV channel Primetime. I know it costs money but at least we get to see some quality fights such as all the Super Six and they have promised a liveboxing card once a month as well as the Super Six-so next month I presume they will be showing Kessler-Ward and Cotto-Pacman. Now that Buncey has joined there may well be a new Buncey show on freeview, fingers crossed!!!

its seasonal chaps and the last season just finished it will be back.

whether they will show it in the uk im not too sure.

I have BT Broadband and they bombarded me with sales calls until I said words to the effect of stop please. Having seen they pick up ESPN through BT Vision I thought I'd try my luck and called BT to tell them they offered it to me for free in one of their previous calls and Im interested now (of course they hadn't). They apologised and said that offer had finished but they could offer me bla bla I got a whole load of new kit off them and bt vision at a knock down rate (works out about £3 per month) and that includes espn. I wouldnt bother with it other wise but at that price.... so if you're with bt and you want espn it might be worth a bash....

Anyone know when the new season starts?

Not quite. They've said if Sales for the first card go really well they'll consider one card a month... I wonder fi they can sustain a high number of buys with fights that arent covered in the UK press.

I watched a United game from 94 when we had those shit Newton Heath shirt with boot laces on.

Who honestly watches crap like that.
