Setanta - a little concerning.

Setanta have updated their schedule - they will be shown Donaire vs Martinez on the 19th and Pensola vs Lopez on the 26th of April.

Now two things from this concerns me.

1) Looking less likely for Froch - with Pensola vs Lopez being shown in a busy night for Setanta.

2) Neither of these fights... the only two US fights that Setanta are showing in a while are on Live... the sign of things to come, given their financial situation? I will accept a Sunday morning showing of the fights from Setanta (like Sky used to) if it saves them money and gives us more fights in the long term... but Setanta have a habit of butchering their delayed shows giving us only an hour.

No its not - its the normal thing for the TV Company to keep the promoter waiting and thus to a point force the promoter into a corner by accepting a far cheaper price for the UK TV rights than what he wanted in the first place.

Get a grip Baby Blue.
Why would Buncey be remotely interested in any channel other than Setanta ?

Buncey does talk about boxing shows on other channels, especially ITV.
