I miss watching big fights on ITV and the Beeb, I was thinking about subscribing to Sky simply to be able to watch fights. What's the best package for this? How many live bouts do they show, and of what calibre? Are there also highlight programmes which show a good range of fights worldwide, and how often are they on? And what is the situaltion with PPV? Do you always have to pay extra for the big fights (I remember chipping in to watch Lewis/Tyson at a mates and it seemed extortionate), or only occasionally? There's no NTL coverage in my area (next to Old Trafford cricket ground, hardly the sticks!), but is there any other firms who do cable rather than get one of those horrible dishes on my house?
Thanks folks,
Paul

they have a exclusive deal to show sports networks shows paul, so the 'free big fights' are shit.

the others are usually ppv such as the forthcoming Tyson v Williams bout. usually costing £10-15.

ive always vowed never to touch sky. never had it and never will

Always wanted it as a kid, my parents would never get it for me. After years of councelling I have come to accept this fact and deal with it though.

Eurosport comes with a Telewest package but the boxing isn't that great.

And...

Owen v Fogle is free tonight on the BBC - 10pm.
