    Just seen the thread about Pacman v JMM poosibly being on Primetime. According to the Sky Bet website both Pacman v JMM and Cotto v Marg are being shown on Sky Sports however Hopkins v Dawson isn't. Hopefully Sky Sports will confirm this in the next few weeks. I can't see Sky losing out on the rights to the Pacman v JMM fight when they've already lost out on Floyd v Ortiz they will surely pull out all the stops this time.

    Pretty sure pacman's on primetime just for the reason that fat mick said tyson fury back out on the 12th Nov and they generally double up. Didn't buy the PBF fight but seriously considering pac if they continue to load the cards with fairly good fights, we already know bam bam rios is on the bill and potentially tim bradley, should be another quality night.

    venus, dont interpret this in a negative way, but in future you really have to use the HBO feed for the production.

    Benny ricardo and wayne mccullough, and this is coming from a belfast mccullough fan, arent up to scratch and it REALLY negatively affected the viewing experience on saturday night.


    Also, seeing as Al Bernstein, the best boxing pundit there is was working with channel 5 for Fury, it was criminal to not have him involved in some way with that production. duke mcKenzie is so, so boring its untrue.

    Seriously, please.

    If Pac/JMM is on Primetime I'll cry.

    It's the biggest fight in boxing, and should be free to air rather than £15 on PPV.

    Yes we are but we decided not to, everyone complains if we don't put out own team on and Benny always gets great reviews. I think Benny is a huge plus to our broadcasts and Wayne did a good job for his first time on co comms, takes time for a team to gel

    I think everyone would rather you used the HBO feed to be honest although I thought Benny does a good job.

    Khan needs to be told to give his actual opinion not one with an agenda.

    Bunce & Kerr were great.

    WOW

    You ARE allowed to use the HBO feed but choose to go with Benny and Wayne?

    Seriously man, HBO are the GOLD STANDARD of boxing and much MUCH better than Benny and Wayne. Everyone would be much happier with Jim Lampley, Roy Jones and Larry Merchant rather than McCullough and Benny.

    I am very serious. You will find nobody on the forum who prefers Benny and McCullough over Lampley Roy and Merchant. Somebody make a poll on this.

    Robert, considering Venus' reply to my point, where the **** do you get this information from?

    Do you literally make it up?

    Thanks for the feedback Jonesy, it's a catch 22 with the HBO feed. When we have used it in the past everyone complains that they could have got that on a stream and when they are paying us they want to see us have our own team giving their own opinions. So it's a balancing act.

    Hopefully though everyone agrees we are improving, getting the forum interaction in the broadcast seemed to go well and we can keep moving forward to give people the broadcats they want
