Jim Jacobs still never found any fight footage of a Harry Greb fight, he did say that he would trade anything he had in his collection for that

where do you get the listings/schedule dudes?

One of my favourite all-time fights.



The missus isn't going to like my flicking to this new channel every evening.

But eff her!

Was it that good? i only ever saw the highlight of Rogan Kayoing Skelton.
I'll look out for that one.

WATCH IT!!

It's on tomorrow.

will do cheers!

When you do, come back to this thread and tell me what you thought about it.

Macca vs frenkel now!!

What a KO!

Ref should be shot.

Just flicking through the planner and noticed mayweather v delahoy tomorrow on primetime.

I'd love a channel to show all the heavywieght title fights from Jack Johnson onwards.. Show them in full, with chat before hand to set the scene and somemore afterwards about what happened to the loser. Put one fight on per week at the same time every week.

Yeah I remember watching that live and was shouting at the screen for him to save Enzo and wave it off after the first knockdown, he was never in any condition to continue.

As far as I understand it, it only started broadcasting yesterday.

The channel is owned by 'Boxing Channel Media Ltd', a company incorporated at the start of this year.

Registered office is here:

Sounds about right, THOUGH not sure how Joe C as a creditor wouldn't have got first shout??

Bill Cayton did a huge deal with espn years back for his enitire back catalouge.
He had most of the Tyson fights and all the old B&W too.

He sold all of his and Jim Jacobs back library which is huge......and begs the question why do ESPN UK feed us the same rumble in the jungle or Ali-Frazier 3 or Tyson early fights all the time....would be nice to see something interesting and unusual like they had in the USA when ESPN Classic first started over there.

I know this always bothers me, they have a ton of 80's fights they could show yet all they show is the same old cack!

That KO was that bad it was used in some scientific research studying stoppages, effects etc I seem to remember reading in BM .
I've set the Rogan/Skelton fight to record and a few others

Watched the LG show on it last night, enjoyed watching it again, good for us boxing fans, but what would top it off is if they could show the undercard of big shows, fights we don't usually see.

As I remember it, there was ZERO skill in that fight from either man - just a pure determination to win.

It tired me out watching it.

Just happened upon this free channel on Sky that I never knew about. Its on 8pm til 10pm every night showing some good fights from uk shows in recent years. Just incase anybody else had never heard of it either.

Anno pal its been on for a month or so now. Me and the Misses got a babysitter last night and where just about to watch a DVD then I noticed Katsidis V Earl was on and I told her I had to watch it. What a fight. Really was top drawer stuff. I think its the 4th or 5th round Katsidis must land about 200 punches!! Haha. Any channels good if it shows us that

How great is his wife if she lets him watch boxing when they've paid for a babysitter so they can watch a DVD?

You guys must be hungover or something. I never once said we got a babysitter so we could watc a DVD, we got a babysitter so we could go see a family member in hospital, the time we got back home ma wee one was sleeping so me and the misses just left her and w had a wee night in. To be honest we didn't even watch the DVD

I've read on various websites its not fully launched yet - will it still be free then?

I think it is pretty good as I have been filling my notebook with some pretty good fights that I have not seen yet I just hope they put some more fights on there for us all to enjoy. Perhaps they should have an email address where we can suggest what fights we would like to see again.
