Froch v Groves on Radio 5 Live from 9.00pm on Saturday

I have got a big BBQ on Saturday and because it will be a house of casuals I have decided save on the £17 and opt for the radio in the background. The big fight wont be on until 11.00pm and others wont have much interest in the undercard apart from AJ and that fight will last less than 3 minutes.

Therefore radio in the background from 9 I will be up to date without boring the guests

Anyone else working round the boxing on Saturday

On Klitchko v Haye it was my son's Holy Communion Party. All the blokes vanished to watch the PPV at the time of the ring walk. The ladies were not impressed

 

Mike Costello's great. Sod the fkn ladies, get your ppv, mute Jim Watt et al and turn up the radio. :hey

 

Will it be in Sync if you do that^?

 

Get the PPV mate!

 

It's worked before for me. :good

 

Thanks, I'll be watching it on a home theatre setup so it'll be a shame not to get the best quality sound but if it's that or Jim Watt I'll rig something up

 

Sorted, I can stream radio from PC to AV amp for sound and have the sky on the TV

 

PPV for me, radio just doesn't really give you an insight, i remember listening to Harry Carpenter commentating on Bruno/Tyson 1, i thought Bruno was battering Tyson until i saw the fight the following day.

 

its not the 1930s, u dont have to listen to fights on the wireless mate, get the ppv.

 

Costello will embarrass himself again no doubt. Was a joke last time out. Expected him to try and propose to Froch.

 

I've got the PPV just want different commentary

 

Ring walks a strict 945pm first bell 10pm latest as LT have curfews in place with big crowd etc

AJ first fight at 630pm.

 

Radio commentators are considerably more articulate than their television counterparts. They have to be.

Quirky Ronald Macintosh is usually onboard with Costello. A great team, far more entertaining than the other lot if you ask me.

 

I'm that far up in Wembley that I might just stick the radio on to see whats going on below.

 

watch the telly and if watts on down goes the volume and on goes the wireless
