    Fair enough if Bunce does not slate Frank on Boxnation but I feel the BBC show should be non bias. Judging is too favourable in Frank's direction and he should be called out on it. When was the last time you saw a fighter of Frank's lose on a dodgy card on his own promotions? yet I can name dozen's of fighters who have been robbed because they have fought on his shows.

    It's criminal!!!
     
  2. I've heard it loads of times, from Allegedly, Barry Hearn, loads of people.

    Degale lost a close fight to Groves on an Allegedly show. I thought that Groves won, but you wouldn't have been shocked if Degale got the nod on a FW show.

    I said robbed. Close fights are precisely that but I am on about Cox v Sai type robberies. Groves won MD which was no robbery.

    Should probably get that ban on attending Frank's shows lifted then, eh?

    Does anyone else think? quite a few Bans we be given out when this thread is all said and done, myself included? That is Franks public relations for you.

    I reckon we will all be shown the door :-(
     
  10. I'd be surprised.

    Nobody has said anything out of line, or anything that could affect ESB in any way, shape or form.

    Complaining about shitty judging on British cards is nothing new, whether they be Allegedly, Hearn or Maloney promoting them.

    As for fighters not being paid, it's a serious issue. Whilst some of them might be willing to bide their time for their cash, I'm certain that they all wouldn't just let it ride for an indefinite period.

    I think we'll see Groves fighting in America predominantly over the next couple of years, as GBP retain global rights over him.

    The fact that ***** is owed £200k :yikes shows that he's clearly not on a payment plan of sorts. No wonder he needs to work in a sports shop to pay the mortgage.

    Whats ****ed up about the Sport most, is ****s like Audley Harrison being paid millions to be a shithouse *****, or ****s like David Haye paid millions for being a loud mouthed twat. Yet the real fighters can't even get 5% of what they earn.

    In no other Sport do people get paid top wack based on mouth or the public image. Yes you can have the public image but you need the ability also.

    What Boxing does is think short term, I.E the Haye fiasco, or even the Khan stuff. Both Fighters had PPV fights that not worthy of being on it. Both made millions before they done **** all to shout about. This Sport rewards the wrong people at the wrong time, and lets face it the millions Harrison or Haye earn go where exactly ?

    Not back into the Sport. Whilst the unamed promoter is part of the problem, the main reason the Sport is ****ed in the UK is cause of the Harrisons, Hayes & Khans......

    In a ideal world they should have been made to earnt it like Froch did.

    Since I paid my £10 they have put on 2.

    Ringside learnt from that error. they mentioned cleverly and bellew and burns vs katisids. infact they did more build up than box nation.

    I think that the fact people would even risk it, speaks volumes of the seriousness of it all and how strongly they feel.

    no issue with bunce not slating BN or his employer but dont be critical of sky for doing what you do yourself.

    dont feed us **** about cleverly fighting hopkins when everyone watching that show knows it will never happen. Clevs big stadium fight is Enzo we all know this.

    Kell Brook is the greatest thing in the world but all of a sudden he needs real fights when matchroom dont use bunce anymore.

    Live boxing in Dec since people paid...four shows. Helenius, Cotto, Golovkin and Selby. How the hell is that 2? Come on, make sense with the assaults!
    This thread is healthy, relax, but saying that there has only been two shows is a lie.

    Adios.
