Setanta in financial trouble

tbf, with the games they can show of a Saturday afternoon, the GAA and the Celtic League, it's a good service for Irish subscribers. Just bit off more than they could chew with the PL deal and made a huge £#%&! up denying the Engerland fans the chance to see the boys playing.

Yeah but it's sometimes blocked (obviously for the Sat 3pm games) so I'm hoping the game tomorrow morning won't be.

not part of setanta, it comes with the setanta package. theyre going to make us pay £20 a month just for racing uk

Anyone know what to do about the ESPN America channel? Just cancelled Setanta as recommended on C4 News.

Pack up and £#%&! off

Nowhere by the looks of things. Sky don't give a £#%&! anymore and ITV are meant to be scaling down on it aswell.

Probably going to go with Golden Boy Promotions. As he still hasn't provided medical records over his injury im starting to believe he has pulled out because he knew Setanta were in big trouble. As they have folded, he would be getting practically £#%&!all for fighting Klitchko as Setanta were putting up the main part of his purse.

He'll probably sign with Sky Box Office. They need a big star now Hatton's finished and Khan is still relatively unproven.

Also, I'm going with the majority on here and blaming the fall of setanta on you

RIP Buncey's Boxing Hour

Im hoping another network pick it up although its unlikely as nobody else gives a £#%&! about boxing.

Bunce and Andy Kerr made a good team. They had some quality guests on too.

It was quality - despite having a budget of £10 Always good value in the early hours too, in the build up too fights. Hope they carry on with a podcast or something like that if Sky/ESPN don't give them a slot.
