Sky Sports and BT Sports Boxing

both the BT card and broadcasting was absolutely terrible and saved by Yarde doing better than expected

 

You say it was saved - it was just a great fight, and always going to be. One of the P4P best in the U.K. On non PPV. Some people are just never happy.

 

What exactly was wrong with the actual broadcasting?

 

Out of interest am I right in saying sky and BT combined cost £65 plus £20 PPV and you would be happy for 2 cards with lots of prospects fighting in some cases 7-96 fighters deen into a main card for £85 a month

 

If you only subscribe to them for boxing then fair enough, but they have lots of other top quality content that we all know of and doesn’t have to be listed.

 

lol who subs to sky and BT JUST for boxing??

 

I honestly expected Yarde to do what he did. He is a very strong, game fighter who will give anybody a hard night. Rewind a few years and he was in at the deep end with Kovalev, away from home, and put on a sterling performance. The lads made from strong stuff.

 

With no intention of trying to come off as rude, what do you mean by one of the pound for pound best in the UK? Are you referring to Yarde?

If so, based upon what? He has lost three times, once to a British level boxer, and knocked out in good efforts the other two times. What are his three best wins? Surely British boxing is not in such a dire state that a man whose best win is a British level boxer is one of the top pound for pound in the UK.

 

Both undercards were crap. The by one was appalling but a non ppv UK fighter in a world title fight is fair enough to get away with that I guess but the fights made below main event on nearly every card now are absolutely crap. 5 years ago was a golden age.

 

Ok. That’s wasn’t clear in the post. It said they were happy for two decent Cards per month. One with a great headline and the other on PPV for a fight that should have been on standard sky

 

I do

 

you are just too poor to pay for them. it is less than £50 for both.

 

Wow that's insane!

 

I am not sure sanity is tested by this. It is just boxing
