Or just squeeze in a few rounds of a fight!

I remember watching a fight many years ago on ITV, and one guy was taking a one sided beating. They cut out about four rounds of the fight, and all of a sudden after the adverts the underdog came out and knocked the other guy around in what appeared to be a different fight.

That was always the big problem with ITV as a oppose to a dedicated sport channel, there was only a small time slot available. Sky Sport may be the baddies, but they have given exposure to little known fighters over the years, as well as showing the big names.
