Organisers dismayed at no big fight coverage

THE promoters of the Guillermo Rigondeaux versus Willie “Big Bang” Casey world title fight have expressed regret at RTÉ’s decision not to televise the event.

Don O’Leary, co-founder of DolPhil promotions, said the situation at the moment is that RTÉ are not covering the event and they have also been in contact with TV3 and Setanta who told them that they cannot afford to televise the fight.

They have also been in touch with Sky and Eurosport with a view to making the fight available to viewers in Ireland.
