Geo, the days of free-to-air live professional boxing are long gone.
The advertising support of free-to-air TV channels is much smaller
than pay-per-view revenues from providers such as Sky in NZ and other
providers world-wide. So typically you need to front up with $$$ to
watch it live.

You can probably get it for free on poorman's internet TV,
http://cricfree.sx

It is a legal site, paid for by advertising. You need to find the feed
using the Schedule, and then when you open the correct one, you click on
the wee 'x' buttons (not the obvious big ones) to close the pop up ads.

Thank you. That is a bit beyond my technical ability, but it's nice to know.
I just tried the site and got a horse race. Could be interesting to follow,
now Sky has taken over Trackside.

I watch Te Po Mekemeke on Maori TV. More enthusiasm than science, and it is
all in Maori, but the young boxers put on a good show.
I wonder how many of them will end up champions.
The girl boxers especially seem to go flat out right from the start.

What has happened to my reply? Should be on this site by now.
I tried that and got a horse race. Could be a useful site.

Yes, it finally arrived. These newsgroups seem to be doing better than Facebook recently.
