[Lee]

sky have overpaid on the football and have said they have to make cutbacks elsewhere to finance this new premier league deal

Yes, Chazza just said that.

[red g]

[Bender]

Yes, Chazza just said that.

Woah sunbeam! I was pulling your plonk.

[Nicey]

Sky have told Ricky Hatton and Frank Maloney that they wont be renewing the promotion deals passed the current contracts so the next David Price fight wont be with them

They are not going to have much top level boxing left if they keep going like this

Maybe done all the cash on Football and F1?

Mixed Martial Arts is taking over on every level mate .. including the fighters .. are all moving into MMA rather than boxing

Boxing chiefs have admitted that Manny Pacquiao should not have lost his controversial bout against Timothy Bradley earlier this month.

The Filipino favourite lost a split points decision against Bradley in Las Vegas which prompted disbelief from commentators and fans alike.

The result also cost Pacquiao his world welterweight title, but yesterday the World Boxing Organization ruled that the result was incorrect.

WBO officials met with five international judges to evaluate video of the match and unanimously scored the fight in favour of Pacquiao.

However they do not have power to overturn the initial ruling - meaning the result will still stand and Bradley remains champion.

Pacquiao has indicated that he would prefer a rematch over Bradley forfeiting the belt, according to Bob Arum, the promoter for both fighters.

Wow Bob Arum favours a rematch, what a surprise.

To be honest dodgy boxing decisions have been going on for years all to the benefit of the promoters that have the most to gain from suspect decisions.

The entire sport needs an overhaul.

I think Sky offer a huge amount. Football and Cricket will always be the big two sports in the country and they cover them from top to bottom.

Rugby too, with the summer and autumn internationals.

The boxing going is rubbish, but it cant have been doing big numbers for them, they would have kept it otherwise.

Also, Sky's coverage of the Darts is second to none. They have essentially made the PDC what it is today IMO.

[Chazza]

Anyone on this tonight?

Mathews v Rees at the moment and Kel Brook fighting later

[Daniel 7]

Watching it yeah, Rees edging this

[Chazza]

Yeah Rees winning this

Decent fight

[Chazza]

Good win from Rees.

Can't understand a word he says mind
