I know what you mean. I'm as disappointed as many at the news of Hatton going to Primetime, and part of me would definitely prefer the presentation of Sky. My first choice would have been Boxnation for overall coverage. But I am secretly glad that Hatton hasn't gone to Sky after the way their relationship ended.
gotta admit im ****ed off with it,i only got it for boxing really and the odd footy match,but im sick to the back teeth of football and all the **** it involves,never been a big fan anyhow,and the bixing has gone downhill. dare i say it,i may get boxnation,but not that bothered at the mo,can't have both,the wife would ****ing kill me :scaredas:
Come on Widdy man up!! If you can only have one, and boxing is your thing there really is only one choice, Boxnation. I know for certain that if I have to make changes Sky goes first, no doubt!
how many teeth you got??? oh yeah... I'm in the same boat mate just had a baby and the missus doesn't like boxing or football so would she would take some convincing! who ever said "all this for the price of the pint of beer a week" wasn't thinking of my missus she moans about how much money I spent in the pub too!
I ended my subs to Sky after Hatton-May (though not because of that)...this quote here sums my attitude to the situation up perfectly. This kid ^ nailed it.:good
tell me about it,as much as she loves me,if i spend anymore on the tele every month im gonna get ****ed over,possibly in my sleep:bbb
i grumble at the cost but end up paying as dont wanna miss out on what little at the moment is shown, they said last year they was cutting back as it were on boxing, tied up with matchroom wasnt best idea,no competition kills it knew boxing would suffer when sky announced the f1 deal
Did the David Haye PPVs have anything to do with Sky's decision? Did they lose some faith or belief in the sport despite the big numbers? Heard a lot of people saying Haye killed sky boxing
Haye probably buggered up Sky PPV, that and the fact there wern't many PPV worthy fights in the pipeline anyway, but "killed Sky boxing" is far too strong IMHO.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012/oct/10/rising-tv-rights-knock-on-effect I'm sure boxing will be one of the sports that'll suffer.
If this BT channel shows some football and regular boxing i'm jumping ship faster than Ricky on a cocaine kebab.
I don't buy that reasoning, Gaz. He made them a fortune and, let's be honest, only the hardcore were complaining post-fight. Most of the folk in the pub I watched Haye-Harrison in really enjoyed the spectacle. It was more that Haye was retiring and there was no one else worth a PPV. I'd say Fwank's PPV spectacles had more to do with their decision.
