might be too expensive for them

Its not listed on their schedules.

Yes the cost of the fight. Also little interest in the fight after the first one with Veit. They should show perhaps they fed up with sick note keep crying off

No surprise there - talk about a hard sell...what would they say in the trailers?
AT LAST!! THE REMATCH THE WORLD HAS BEEN WAITING FOR. CAN MARIO MAKE IT OUT OF THE FIRST ROUND THIS TIME? TUNE IN SATURDAY NIGHT AND FIND OUT!!

This has to be the ONLY time in boxing history a champion has had to meet a challenger he's already knocked out in one round.

Imagine Sky trying to sell advertising space between rounds too ( Gillette advertising rep: "So.....run that by me again will you - what exactly happened in their last fight?" )

Live on ZDF at 10pm.

how can you watch zdf in this country?

It was a farce of wbo to make him interim champion.

Analogue sattelite. So you can get it if you have the old Sky, but not Sky digital.

Typical only got NTL.

I suppose eurosport in a few weeks then.

nickd · Post by **nickd** » 25 Apr 2005, 12:09

This all depends on Sicknote actually turning up on the night and the fight happening of course.

leforge · Post by **leforge** » 25 Apr 2005, 12:10

The money he earning is too good to turn down. For what should be at worst 6 to 7 rounds of boxing.

nickd · Post by **nickd** » 25 Apr 2005, 12:12

The money is good but he's been on good money in the past and pulled out of fights. IBF light heavy title anyone?? I bet he being paid a tidy sum for that.

Nothing is a given with someone that unreliable.

leforge · Post by **leforge** » 25 Apr 2005, 12:13

Very true but I cant see it now. It would virtually kill his career

Last time was when he was too busy having domestic rather than training.

nickd · Post by **nickd** » 25 Apr 2005, 12:14

His careers not already dead then? ;)

leforge · Post by **leforge** » 25 Apr 2005, 12:17

It on life support at the mo.

hasnt Calzaghe made a promise to Magee to return to belfast after the Veit fight to give him his shot ? think i read that somewhere

Can only see people getting more pissed off with him than they are now if this is true.
Forget about the clash with Lacy being next ill believe it when i see it

Do you think Viet will enter the ring to "Three Minute Hero" by The Selecter?

Either that or 'Dead in the Water Now'

I think Hatton should come into "I Bruise Easily ."

Do NTL not let you get Sky sports?
I know homechoice do, you can get all the major channells, free phone calls and broadband for 35 nicker a month. If only i hadn't signed up to cuntibollocks tiscali for a year.

nickd · Post by **nickd** » 25 Apr 2005, 15:08

Yeah you can get Skysports through NTL I think he was referring to only getting some of the euro channels through Sky Analogue.

I have homechoice its the mutts nuts.

jamesmcdonnell · Post by **jamesmcdonnell** » 25 Apr 2005, 15:14

Is it? I phoned them the other day, but unfortunately because Tiscali have hold of my phone line, they cannot provide me with the service, as they run everything down your phone line, including Cable TV and broadband...bastard!

They are so fornicating cheap as well, 4Mbit line, free local calls AND cable TV including Sky Sports etc for 38 quid a month, what a fornicating bargain.

Right now my Sky alone costs more, and with brodband and phone line rental, I am paying 110 a month!

nickd · Post by **nickd** » 25 Apr 2005, 15:46

No mate, Skysports costs extra.

Mine is about £70 a month, that includes Skysports, 4Mbps and loads of digital TV channels and a load of Documentaries etc.

Skysports is £24 on top of your normal subscription. Or Skysports and Sky Movies for £31.50. You only get Sky Movies 1,3,5,7 and 9 though not all 10.

The broadband is shit hot fast, not had any problems or slowdown in 8 months and I use it all day every day working from home.

Will anyone be all that bothered if they don't?

I'd like to see it, if only to see JC get robbed.
