Does anyone know what Sky are playing at?
We've already missed one of the upsets of the year with Jab vs Baldomir and Bell's win over Mormeck wasn't bad either by the sound of it!
I will cancel my Sky unless they show Morales vs Pacman - possible fight of the year!
Does anyone know what Sky are doing?

Cancel your SKY? Now, while I agree with your points about us not getting all the big fights, would you really be happy going back to just five channels? Do you watch SKY just only for boxing?

i think sky tend to do the biz with the boxing. yeah sure we miss some fights now and again, but generally we get the majority of the biggest fights in boxing.

Can't really blame Sky for not buying the Judah fight, on paper it was just a tune up before the big Mayweather clash. It doesn't suddenly become a big fight just because the favourite has under performed and suffered a shock defeat.
Same thing with Morales v Raheem. Although it'll be strange if we don't see the Pacquiao rematch.

Don't blame Sky. You try dealing with Don King. Perhaps he overpriced it. Just a thought.

Im also disappointed that Sky didnt show the weekends boxing from America. At £36 per month for the sports package they should have done. Theyre a proper rip off company, showing too many crap football and rugby matches. They used to put the biggest football match of the weekend on live on Sat lunchtimes, and now a lot of the big games are on "Prem Plus". I also object to having to pay per view for the best boxing matches, it should come in with the sports package. But if youre a sports fan its hobsons choice nowadays, you either pay for the Sky rip off or listen to it on Radio 5

Will know a week or days before the fight.
with sky it's normally last minute and they never respond to viewers questions so no way of finding out.

I would have thought that they'd show it at a weeks delay or something like last time (atleast I think i recall them showing it)
