Tonight's Bunce Boxing Hour show on BBC London.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p004lpc5/The_BBC_London_Boxing_Hour_08_10_2009/
I agree, Woodhall is an excellent commentator. I hope this channel takes off, and it has a good chance if they can improve on what Sky offer us as a PPV show. As, a lot of people noted, the PPV Khan v Kotelnik card didnt even show the likes of Kell Brook, Enzo etc, not even highlights, and the show was short for a PPV. And I havent even mentioned the 'safe' commentary.:yep
This is nearly a done deal. Not sure about Little Andy, but Richie is with Five Live. There will be a massive interactive slot. I will post email address as soon as I have it. Don't forget the show in Nottingham on Tuesday night. Also, for all Kirkland Laing fans there will be the first chance to buy a book about his life on Tuesday at the Crowne Plaza. Adios.
A massive interactive slot, sounds like Primetime are going alone the right lines and this can only be a good thing for building up the fights and audience. This is great news and I hope that it is sealed soon.
I dont think this will be a long term project no matter what people say. I have yet to see any sort of advertisements for this and apart from major boxing fans I dont think this will do the numbers that will be able to keep this going. It is all on Frochs shoulders to keep this going. If the shock happends and Froch gets beaten how many people will want to fork out more money to see him in the next fight the numbers will fall and fall.
I read in Boxing Monthly that a PPV channel was set up for Lennox Lewis's first fight against the Atomic Bull, when he got knocked out the channel never surfaced again..
Here's hoping :good it's our best chance of catching these super six fights live in this country (legally) Whats the score with setting up a PPV channel, is it available through Freesat, Virgin Media etc for example or have they had to do a deal with Sky?
Oh dear, this seems to suggest, from the horses mouth, that Bunce isn't part fo this. Unless they have Rosenthal at ringside and Bunce in the Studio? http://fightfranchise.com/primetime_to_arrive.html
OK,,Ok, OK...here is the news. The campaign worked. I'm back: This content is protected Let's get the emails flowing and on the night let's set records. The Primetime boys will be at my show in Nottingham tomorrow night at the Crowne Plaza. This is a victory for fans, trust me. Adios and thanks.
