    Intresting, so much for tv democracy, pol pot in charge of bbc, more likely some homo's who go all queezy if they see blood, i should have the job, boxing every weekend, no cooking or over considerate "males" who sit with legs crossed . I could be just the man[not person] to make the real population happy, f-ck 6%, democracy says we want boxing 94%, is this not what wars are fought to uphold?:verysad

    It's the public school queers & tennis lesbo's that run the BBC.

    Outstanding article, sums it all up.

    There is a huge market for boxing, the BBC are an absolute complete and utter disgrace of an organization shafting people over and over again taking license fees by force and not providing value for money.

    Cant really blame the bbc:


    • Domestic rivals not keen to fight each other.
    • Dodgy decisions like Chisora/Helenius or Fury/McDermott.
    • Sham fights and mismatches like Burns/Cook, Haye/Audley.
    • No guarantee of how long a fight will last.
    • Prospects fed a steady diet of bums and cans.
    • As soon as a fighter gets popular they'd be off to Sky or ITV anyway.

    It's a disgrace, the likes of Mayweather or Pacquiao haven't been shown live once on terrestrial TV but the BBC show American Football games instead...:patsch

    American football probably costs a lot less, and they can bank on 3 or 4 hours worth of progamme from it. People need to think before they ***** and moan.

    Boxing is too "cool" for the bbc.

    The bbc is a national "institution" it doesnt understand modern day boxing

    Some of it is to do with class (social) but it's mainly money.

    The BBC is part of the media industry, and not just a small part of it if you haven't noticed. This is what happens, get used to it. I did a long time ago. Media in relation to boxing will only get you angry if you give it the time of the day.

    the **** that goes on with pullouts, top domestic fighters not facing each other and the effort it takes to put a show together these days, i wouldnt blame them.
