Is Sky set to launch an Sky Sports Boxing HD Channel in August???

Doubt it, Sky have more than enough sports channels to show any boxing they might get - also Ppv for bigger fights.

More likely they will change the name of Action/Arena for the odd fight night (as they do for NFL etc)

€30 a month certainly puts paid to the claims we will have a low cost streaming future.

There are genuine savings from running a streaming service in terms of no box installation costs, no high street stores, simple billing etc.

But they are outweighed by consumers dealing direct with the streamers as oppose to having Virgin or Sky bulk-buying on our behalf.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

Amazon awarded bulk of Ligue 1 rights in France. Big rights but not big bucks. I can't imagine the clubs are impressed.
Quote:
The Financial Times reported Amazon had agreed to pay around €275 million each year for eight matches per week – that’s less than Canal had earlier agreed to pay for its three weekly matches.

“After the failure of the choice of Mediapro in 2018, Canal+ regrets the decision of the LFP to retain the Amazon proposal to the detriment of that of its historic partners Canal + and Bein Sports,” the Vivendi-owned broadcaster said in a statement released to Broadband TV News.

“Canal + will not broadcast Ligue 1”.

Don't know about others but watching the Finland v Russia match on BBC and had to switch to Radio 5 commentary because couldn't bare the female commentators screeching voice! It's like listening to a pre pubescent child!

Someone should tell the BBC and any other channel that some things just don't work!

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

I don't have anything against female commentators but you shouldn't just employ a female commentary to fill some quota.

I personally find I have to turn off any commentary with Martin Tyler or Glenn Hoddle involved.
