A very grave day indeed.

More so called superstars fighting mismatches!

Yup the day you came back to posting on the board

Good deal for Eddie, if the Sky Sports cards carry on the way they are then I can see a lot of people not bothering with the sport at all, on the other hand if we get cards some good cards like High Stakes and he realises we want to see more decent domestic competition then good on him.

Would you have prefered no boxing on sky Strongy?

Fair post. I would just like to see more competitve fights. You can look at a matchroom card and predict the winners everytime. It is a joke!

I'd prefer if Murdoch was never born.

Fair enough, Whilst i'm not as fatalist as Strongy on this I do agree with everyone that the cards have gone right down hill (If anyone read my review of the last one, you can feel the boredom coming through the screen) Would have preffered it to be a smaller deal but hopefully if fans do start to disappear he'll have to start putting decent cards on again.

Is Adam Smith still involved with the boxing on SKY (aside from presenting obviously)? If so, one has to ask why this silly c*nt hasn't pointed out that the quality of match-ups has declined recently and the guys holding the purse strings at SKY would be wise to tread carefully

"Great bill isn't it Johnny" ......."Mouthwatering fight isn't it Johnny"........."Credit to the sport isn't he Johnny!!"

Like Halling this muppet does what he's told.

I must be psychic

This is bad news. PPV will start becoming the norm for any worthwhile card and regular sky slots will be filled with cheapo mismatch cards.

Aye. I think my contract runs out in July, will get shot of sky entirely and just get the boxnation stream

I've said it before, but i'll be doing the same. Just make sure you tell Sky why your getting rid, they might give Mr Ed a kick up the ass
