    Barry used to always be on Bt sports but now he has not been on there for a while.

    Any idea why??

    he was doing the sky pod for a bit, maybe he jumped ship and it didn't pay of?

    actually, he put a tweet, jokingly, basically his mrs saying no wonder the got rid of him, so maybe they did prefer somonone else.

    tbh i really like him but his accent might not be what tv exes are looking for?

    He’s a freelancer so he might pop up on Channel 5 in December.

    Would not have thought C5 would be paying much

    I’ve noticed him Sky too. I would like to see him more on BT though.

    He’s freelance so suppose just goes wherever the money is etc. Definitely one of the better pundits

    He said on twitter the other day that BT had decided to to in a different direction, hence him being binned.

    I really rate him, I'd like to see him as a main player on sky. Far better than macklin, and without the corporate governance issues that come with macklin

    I like listening to Barry and he was an admirable competitor. His last bout is one that sticks in my mind and how honest he was after it. He is a real gent!

    True although he has done commentary for them before. I don’t see Sky making him a regular commentator.
