    setanta are giving boxing the big push over here....their coverage started off as pretty shoddy....but it has improved and they give the shows fair amount of promotion........i guess this is more good news, although i have found myself frustrated for the lack of German boxing coverage

    it wasn't that long ago that the only overseas fights shown that didn't involve a brit were Tyson or Holyfield fights....now the situation is very healthy......it is only the odd HBO BAD that i have to resort to finding a stream for

    Agreed

    Setanta deserve muchos credit at this stage for the coverage they are giving boxing over here at the mo. Even if the cynic in me suspects it won't last much longer, you have to give credit for the fact that nearly every meaningful fight either in the UK or the US is now available live and minus PPV
