    I'm told that there will be a decision on Monday about the shows in Sept, Oct, Nov and Dec - the two remaining August shows have gone. Bang.

    Adios.

    Steve, this is really awful news, the show is fantastic and I realise you put a lot of effort into delivering an entertaining programme each week. Hope it works out mate as you actually communicate with the fans and fighters unlike others who just spout shite.
    Keep smilin Buncey

    I am the same mate, Thursday's are a milestone in my working week. It was a great substitute for the Boxing Hour on Setanta. Buncey could have two obscure, unknown boxers on his show and it would still **** over anything else out there.

    The boxing hour is one of the best shows on the radio on any subject. Going into the Olympics, where we all expect team GB to do well, the BBC should be getting behind boxing. They should be moving the show to national radio, not talking about scrapping it. They should be publicising the hell out of the show, not relying on word of mouth. If the show can be the most popular download on the BBC website simply by word of mouth imagine what might happen if they put the link on the BBC homepage once in a while? Sort it out Auntie, dont bin a classic. :nono

    This is the one radio show I look forward to listening to each weeks. Always puts me in a good mood going into the weekend.

    I'm really growing quite tired of boxing being shafted constantly.

    I not sure if you all know but during the Haye v Wlad dance 250,000 people listened to our coverage on Five Live online. It is a Five Live record for online.
    The phone-in after the fight recorded the second highest ever total of calls to Five Live (beaten only by the MPs expenses scandal).
    There is a market for boxing on the BBC!
    The BBC London show has the highest number of downloads of any show on any BBC region.

    I will know more by Tuesday morning.

    Adios.
