Setanta Officially Off Air As Of Now.

[S.G.]

wish someone would break this setanta thing down.
i've read its only certain areas setanta won't be brodcasting or something.

yes. liked watching curley(bunce). he used his hands when he talks which makes it easier to understand. some of you guys talk so dang fast its hard to understand. sort of a reverse mayweather sr. thing.

just was made aware that u.k. can't get a lot of overseas streams or something.
its hard for me to believe. is it your government that doesnt alow you to get streams?

here i am up in humboldt co. living in the sticks this time of year in "bigfoot country"(literaly). no tv but i have the internet and get ppv and hbo's, showtime etc. all streaming. they may be in chinese or pilipino or german
but i get them. and now these legit legal streams of boxing from yahoo sports and espn360.

i know you guys hate me but can you break this setanta thing down.

I've never had any problem specific to people from the UK finding streams for fights. Not sure about legal streams though I've never tried

Think you might be referring to us not having access to certain videos (music videos mostly) on YouTube and similar websites?

No one will give Buncey that type of freedom again........

Agreed, his rants about other channels and the like were awesome. He'd be censored on another network.

Wait so what happens to our subscription money then. I don't think theyve given details about this. Im not particularly comfortable with the thought that they still have my card details and I havent had the chance to actively cancel the subscription myself.

I had it on the ****** XL package, not sure what's going to replace it. I'm down boxing, UFC, epl, spl, golf and the hilarious Mourinho puppet. Not that happy about it. I blame the English for not subscribing when they bought the epl matches.

THE UFC have hammered another nail in Setanta's coffin by tearing up their TV deal.
UFC programming has been broadcast live on the sports channel since January 2008.

But with the Irish firm on the verge of slipping into administration, the world's No1 mixed martial arts group had little choice but to walk away.

Marshall Zelaznik, president of the UFC's UK division, said: "It was with great regret that we ended the relationship with Setanta.

"Over the last two years, Setanta has helped the UFC become the biggest indoor sporting event in the British Isles.

"They were the right partner for us at the right time as we continued to build the sport of mixed martial arts and our brand.

"Throughout the last few weeks we have been kept informed of the situation at Setanta.

"Therefore, we are in a position to ensure our UK and Eire fans will not miss any of this summer's huge UFC events — commencing with UFC 100 in July.

"We will be announcing the new home of UFC shortly but assure our fans they won't miss any of the upcoming super-fights."

Zelaznik added: "On behalf of the UFC I want to wish the team at Setanta all the strength to get through what must be very difficult times.

"We have worked very closely with the entire Setanta team over the past years and wish them the best of luck in the future."
