Haha nice try....but we have WWE 24/7 here in the states too. Still not NEARLY as good as the fight network would be. Is it all mma/ kickboxing? Or is there boxing on there also?

I just talked to someone working for Dish Network and as of right now it is not offered in the States. But, she said that if it brings enough buzz, it could be possible to add this program. We all need to help out by bugging the piss out of these people and do some calling.

Come on man, truthfully what is the fight network? Really? They're not going to show you live MMA events or anything. They're just giving you the same stuff you've already seen. If it was like the tennis channel where they get the rights to broadcast alot of events live which don't otherwise make it to tv, then it would be useful.
But who needs to watch old UFCs and Prides and KOTCs which we've already got on dvds? Does the fight network cover any events live like the WFA and all?

It is an awesome channel, Ive had it for a year now, and it takes up most of my TV watching time. I did read an article fairly recently on how they are negotiating with American cable and satalite providers to bring it south of the border...........it shouldn't be too much longer.......

Thanks for calling them. I'll send an email requesting it too.

Knock off the trolling! No one appreciates it here.

Yeah, I just sent an e-mail myself. I didn't really think the call helped out so hopefully I'll get a better response. And thanks for the help! Hopefully we will be able to have this channel on satellite services soon in the US!

What's wrong with watching some old fights??? I kinda see where you're coming from but I think you're missing alot of the info here. Sure, Spike tv definitely allows the average fan to see many of the pay per view bouts at a later date on Unleashed and Ultimate Knockouts. FSN even shows some Pride fights as well. But, this channel shows many of the lesser known organizations as well. You should really check out the website and see what it has. I know for sure that I would watch this channel on a regular basis and, as MMA continues to grow, I'm sure many other fans and fighters will tune in as well. www.thefightnetwork.com

the only thing i dont like about it is the shitty ass boxing and some of the wrestling is complete garbage....it would be better if it was strictly MMA with a bit of boxing thrown in....they did just get the rights to the first season of the contender though....i watched the lastcouple episodes of that but didnt see the whole season.... they also got like female japanese wrestling which is HORRIBLE
