Hatton - Mayweather on Sky Box Office or Setanta?

Wheelchair · Post by **Wheelchair** » 28 Aug 2007, 10:43

Does anyone know which one? Has it been announced?

Me too Darke is the best boxing commentator there is. Hope that Kellerman moron isn't on though

It'll probably be on both Setanta and Box Office as the Hatton-Castillo fight was. It was £20 on Box office for the fight or £15 for 2 months worth of Setanta

Darke is superb, makes the rest sound like hospital radio football commentators. Love it when he is calling big fights with Glenn McCrory.

the question is did setanta just sign with the promoter or with ricky??

cos ricky is with goldenboy for this fight i believe.

don't think fight academy are involved at all.

might be wrong about that.

usually f&cking am.

Setanta do not do "box office." It is a subscription channel. Agree with you on Ian Darke - Glenn McCrory pairing. A great shame, in my considered, that Glenn was taken off front line commentating so that Jim Watt could do it. McCrory should be the top man.

Got to disagree here. Sky have got it right. Darke and Watt are the "A" team. Watt's first-class: articulate, precise and quick to observe subtle shifts in the action. McCrory's good and does a decent job of the domestic stuff with Adam Smith, but for the big occasions Darke and Watt are the best in the business.

I find Jim Watts voice a bit too whiney, he seems finds a point and keeps whingin on and on about it and he contradicts himself too much. Glen McRory I find better as although he states the obvious a bit he doesnt whine on as much.
ALSO,I recently watched an old Benn fight and Watt seemed to had some kind of pet hate for ol' Nigel!

It wasn't on box office but it was on some other new ppv channel aswell as Setanta , which is why there is a bit of confusion over it .

I think it was cheaper to sign with Setanta for the 2 months anyway , which made the ppv no sense .

It was only cheaper if you remembered to cancel in time.

Being th schmuck I am, I didn't. Another £15 gone for Middlesbro and Bernard Dunne.

What a deal.

And I didn't watch either.

New it was on a PPV channel for £20 just presumed it was Sky Box Office.

Yeah I noticed that.

They definitely told me on the phone it would be a one-off charge and then stop.

I'm going to complain to them and to a watchdog when I get the time.

They told me the same after I asked if it was a one-off , it annoyed me when I found out they'd lied, so I made sure I cancelled on time. Might have to join up again now (for 9.99) they've got some decent boxing lined up though

I'm actually probably going to keep it for a month as the tossers have a couple of Spurs games on live in Sept/Oct but I'm still going to complain about their underhand methods. No need for that.

because the deal isn't done yet. Until then, they may be fighting on Men and Motors. In business, deals take time.

setanta did say it was a 6 fight deal with hatton.

i'm sure they did at the time.

maybe it was with fight academy and not hatton.

cos clinton woods is fighting on setanta next.

Scott Harrison vs Nedal Hussain was actually on Men and Motors if memory serves me correct. That was an odd time.
