    That's why I said I'd try and have a mixture of journalists and ex-boxers doing it, similar to how they do it on Between the Lines. It's the kind of thing Bunce could always present, with a rotating panel each week. For the ex-boxers you would be looking at people like Woodhall and Spencer Oliver, who can hold a lengthy conversation or discussion.

    That is why young enthusiastic boxing fans like Gorillaz Productions need to be given a shot. You take him on and he will work harder than any paid person. You make him an intern then start paying him then boom he'll be churning out videos that go viral, ads, top 10 shows etc

    The boxing industry lets too many nobodies into our fraternity. This is why I opposed Keys. I changed my mind because its clear he is good at his job but the people in boxing need to love boxing.

    Don King is a crook not a boxing fan. Bob Arum is a lawyer (crook) and not a boxing fan. Here you are saying that the production teams aren't really knowledgable.

    I bet 90% of people in football are football fans. The same needs to be true in boxing.

    The head of marketing and production at box nation needs to be out scouting young enthusiastic talented guys who will elevate the standard of Box Nation.

    Some good ideas there, I like them :good. Obviously live shows take priority but I agree, I think some decent support programmes would be needed before I subscribe. However, I'm going to leave it a while anyway to see how consistent they are with the shows they pick up.

    My own idea would be to get Chris Eubank on for a unlimited period of time to discuss whatever he feels like. Would be great TV!

    It was only a matter of time. I think a lot of people had already passed on that one as being too obvious!:D

    This is why you'll never win funniest poster of the year, you need to know your audience. Wallet can work the room with the best of them.

    So many simple looking ideas. Thanks.
    Did you all not see Powell, Lewis and Davies on Ringside?
    They looked like 3 guilty and doomed rabbits in the headlights of a truck. They made the men on the high stalls with clipboards of gibberish look good!

    Adios.

    How about a fantasy H2H show? Guys present the case for their fighter using old footage and ring stories and at the end there is a online vote. Endless match ups and should be a laugh if you get the presenters fired up. Bunce taking on Woodhall for Haye v Marciano at 200 lbs:think
