Adam Smith at breaking point, sad to see

I read this OP and your post Cuthroat and thought it was just a case of you doing some light trolling as per,

but he did genuinely seem annoyed at Koog asking the question (maybe not angry at koogs specifically but annoyed at having to answer the question) and did go very defensive, you could see after his mini rant his heart was going and he just wanted the interview finished asap. I think there is a defo worry that he doesnt have the answers yet to fill the void of decent fighters all retiring.

 

I dont mind adam at all, he genuinely loves the sport and to me that is the most important thing for someone in his position.

he was defo rattled at the end there, its better that he cares however. Its not overly comforting for Sky I imagine, and the bad thing is that it could affect the sport, its never good to lose promotors, viewing platforms etc competition breeds success, lack of it causes a domination and staleness. From what he said there it look like Sky are gonna focus on other avenues for a while at least with F1 being very heavily plugged. (Iv loved F1 all my life however and their coverage is decent but the pundits need upgrading IMO)

 

@ 16.34 - that turn of the head. Smith knows the game is up over here.

 

He looks and sounds like a man who knows he's been frozen out. It's no coincidence that Sky cards are getting weaker and Eddie has been taking his big guns over to the states. Going to be excruciating for Smith as Eddie rides out the remainder of his contract then jumps ship to DAZ. Well and truly shafted.

 

You guys are looking way too deep into this! All thats happened his one of his victims has nearly escaped from the basement and he needs to get back asap.

 

Must be hilarious being someone as rich as successful as Adam Smith when he reads **** like this written by disgruntled fanboys like deepthroat who sweeps roads for a living

 

Dazn will be coming to the UK soon I think
There already adverting for UK based jobs
.

 

What are you so sensitive about? It's a clear cut observation. The man is pissed off and rightly so. He loves boxing, he's the head of sky boxing, and he's seeing everything sky have worked hard to build slip away.

I don't like Adam Smith, he's an awful commentator. However, there's no question he is a boxing fanatic and I feel sorry for him. It's a dog eat dog business, that's for sure.

 

That'll be Hearn away so and sky losing all US boxing content. Where would that leave sky? Warren would hardly leave BT. Imagine sky forfeited the game.

DAZN UK would be a must for boxing fans at a tener a month. I imagine Hearn would suddenly up his game at home and the American stuff is decent. Canelo etc.

 

I'm not seeing the issue here. He answered the questions very sell. Boxing isn't the key subscription driver for sky sports. That's a fact.

We had a pure boxing channel in box Nation which failed as boxing alone isn't what pulls in sports fans.

Boxing supplements the major sports which are the real sub drivers.

Props to Adam Smith who takes on questions and doesn't filter what Koogan can ask him.

 

Not without other stuff. Box Nation being the example. Dazn launches in the UK when they can get premier league football. Without it you can't be a major player.

 

Naturally. I meant for boxing fans.
