I am one of the suckers who pays for Sky Sports. I do quite well on cricket, reasonably well on football [too much emphasis on the 'big names'] and truly badly with boxing.About 40 times a year they put on a reasonable bill listed as Friday Fight Night - which generally is their only programming of British Boxing in any week.
Amateur boxing is generally shunned - surprising for such a cheap option and professional bills from around the UK other than Fridays are noticeable by their absence.
The insult-to-injury comes with the really big fights with British boxers such as Hatton and Calzaghe. These sharks MAKE US PAY AGAIN! Not satisfied with taking £9 per week off me, they want to grab an extra £15 quid every time there is a top bill!
It doesn't happen when Manchester United play Chelsea, does it?
