    Hello,
    Il be up watching the Donaire/Rigo fight Sat night and am just wondering is there any radio stations that will broadcast live commentary?
    The channel i will be watching is not in English and sometimes like to hear a bit of commentary.
    Thanks

    Getting up in the middle of the night to listen to the radio is a really old tradition...........
    I don't think its on the LW radio anymore, especially with the advent of the internet !

    However most people who do not have SKY or Satellite will be watching it on the net.

    We can't give out links on boards,ie , but you might get a link via PM (private Message)

    There should be plenty of chat and banter about this fight on Saturday, keep an eye to see who's online.

    Think you misunderstood my post, sorry if i was not clear.
    I have all the fights on tv, but they are not in english.
    Was wondering if there was a radio station like BBC5Live who broadcast fights which i could have on whilst watching it on the TV.
    Not a problem anyway, just like to hear the interviews without a foreign language speaking over them.

    Usually bbc 5 live or bbc 5live extra have radio commentary althou I can't seem to find it on their schedule.

    Looked at the ESPN NY schedule and not up there but sometimes it's better to watch a fight without commentary as the commentators can be biased.
    Hope you get something sorted

    I agree clubwelly, but i like the interviews afterwards or if theres trouble before fights etc like when the klitskos complaing of how the hands were wrapped, i didnt know what was going on:rolleyes: Same when Floyd started mouthing at Larry Merchant.
    Not to worry, not a big deal, just thought there might be something, il check 5live anywho.
