itv 4 dream team

where did u hear these rumors:good

 

the internet.....

 

It is a fact that ITV get very good figures for boxing, but it is also a fact that we don't know what they plan to do with boxing in the future as well. I will point out something that might make a difference, though: OFCOM has recently given the green light for product placement on TV. ITV lost a lot of revenue through advertising contracts going down the swanner last year and boxing was one of the first things that ITV said they'd have to cut to make ends meet. Now, product placement makes huge amounts of cash in America so if and when ITV do it, coupled with the UK starting to come out of the recession, there could be extra money to put towards programmng again.

For the time being, let's not get too excited, though. After all, we are all just guessing what is going on in ITV's boardroom meetings. Boxing could quite possibly still get the chop:good.

 

well said Sir never Losfer words

 

But Rosenthal is a no nothing twat :deal

 

Gabriel Clarke is a legend..

Could you imagine him during the haye v valuev build up,

"So nicolay, i see youve trimmed today?" ...ahh y. Oh hang on theres the cheeky girls!

 

:yep:yep

 

He is the best thing on that show. I was watching the backstage interviews that i missed on Sat night this morning and he was excrutiating, like having Larry David doing the interviews

 

one thing we need to realise is that to advertisers the best consumer is women aged 18-30.

If theres one show women aged 18-30 do not want to watch its boxing. thats where the problem lies. viewers are irrelivent if you cant sell ad space.

 

But he's got little man syndrome, gets very angry when someone had a different point of view

 

Two pages deep and yet no one has mentioned the theme tune.

Best on TV, bar none.

 

I hope he moves on from ITV4 I just think Hennessy and his fighters need to get back on a big sports station again. So when it comes to world title fights he wont have to worry about getting the fight on UK tv. So be it Sky or ESPN it would make more sense to move from ITV4.

 

I have heard ITV are going to continue??

 

i agree but it should be put on after a big show like that OR on another day or another date.

big time boxing has a proven track record. if it's a good match up and marketed then i dont know a fight that hasn't pulled.

 

Even if they shiften it to ITV2, surely the already decent viewing figures would increase?
