    I've just subscribed to Boxnation and ive been watching the promotional advert for it and Richard "would u smash her" Keys makes some cheerleading comments about the big man like "hes boxings andy gray" and "hes the best at what he does".

    Now its got me thinking......... why did sky or adam smith never sign buncey after the collapse of setanta?? I know its probably been discussed many times on here , but as i dont go on the forum that often i was wondering if someone could fill me in , or even Steve himself , seeing as i know he posts on here quit often. Cheers.:good

    Bunce has been quite vocal is his criticism of Sky which wouldn't have helped, but I don't think his style is suited for Sky. Imagine if someone on Sky called one of the boxers "the lighter skinned black guy" or started ranting about Sillakh having American cornermen. Adam Smith would apologise immediately for offending viewers and Buncey would be dragged into a 4 hour meeting telling him off.

    This...
    well thats my guess...
    .
    Buncey tells it like it is.. . Imagine him on ringside promoting/mentioning a fight on Channel 5... Sky wouldn't stand for that..

    x 2.

    Sky apologise when a cornerman swears inbetween rounds at 4am in the morning, says it all about them.

    Sky need yes men, the likes of Jamie Redknapp who'll just sit there like a nodding dog.

    i hate when smith apoligises for the language one apology is enough, the tone in his voice is like the cornerman has just shot someone

    For the same reason they set Keys and Grey up for the sack.

    Sky want people who will do exactly what they want all the time, and are to be relied upon to do so.

    Bunce is not one of these people.

    That's exactly why we like him!

    Could you imagine Sky's reaction to Bunce in a live studio calling one of the Pussycat Dolls a transsexual?

    Smith is a little weasel and Buncey is a mans man. Sky being the big corporate it is needs yes men and puppets and not people that speak their mind

    Up the Bunce!

    Anyone remember in the advert break on setanta during the boxing hour . Someone said.. There's not much room in here. Then you heard buncey shouting "Thats cos i'm a fat *******" lol.. Think he forgot to turn his mic off

    I think it's more just that sky like people who tow the company line, mainly sit on the fence and are not over opinionated or outspoken.

    They couldn't handle Buncey.

    He wouldn't fit the cultural marxist Sky mindset. Hence why Keys, Gray and Marsh we're all given the boot from Sky.
