He's not probably right he's definitely right. The setup before was excellent in my opinion. Allow FTA broadcasters to bid for the games ITV showed and pay TV broadcasters to bid for the rest. At least that way we'd get either BBC , ITV , C4 or C5 with some games and either BT Sport or Sky Sports with the rest.

Whilst I understand these organisations want to make money they also need to think of promotion of the game , not everybody can afford pay TV.

Has anyone heard any news about the BT Sports contract renewal with VM?

I'm sure the current deal that includes it in XL TV was for 3 years which will be up at the end of this season.

Fairly small show but 2 promising young boxers being featured. More free boxing on TV

In fairness, it's not in their remit. But this is a disappointing development which will only encourage BT to set up its own entertainment channels pushing up costs and increasing exclusivity. Understand Fox's reasons but I'm unhappy as to what this might lead to - bigger bills and less content.
