Sky again!!!!

They kept questioning Cottos heart and saying he quit vs Margarito...But never once did they mention margaritos loaded gloves and his previous wins now being in question. Thats a very important fact they neglected to share with casual fans.

 

McCrory before the fight was awful. "If Pacquiao starts landing I wonder if Cotto will have the heart to continue" or something along those lines. **** off!!

And going on about how tall Pac was compared to Cotto then neglecting to mention Cotto was bare foot and Pac had trainers on!

Alot of people say boxing is on the decline, I don't really know seeing as I'm only 17 but compared to other sports it's certainly not competing.

Advertisement is the problem and PPV fights that just aren't PPV material, also the best not fighting the best many times. However when you tune into watch a fight you expect to be entertained and informed, even more so if you're watching boxing for the first time trying to get into it. The commentators are a main part of the show and have a huge part in the sport, they are the ones feeding the boxing to the public, do you agree?

Whilest many casual fans might not watch the fight earlier this morning at 4:30am there are repeats and some casuals might tune in. Last night was a good night considering the usal crap I have to listen too. I think friday fight night plays a big part in british boxing and watching the fights with my dad for the last 4 years on sky was what got me into boxing along with Hatton.

I think the new board need a few new faces, and Bunce is brilliant he's a true fan but I rekon he could scare people off. :yep A younger board aswell as one or two experianced would be good for the sport and attract new viewers. :think

 

I was pissed off that the recording ended before the fight did.

Cut out at round 6 when replaying today.

 

That's weird, mine adjusted itself. Were you watching through Sky?

 

Ouch. If you taped it you should have given it until 6am to be safe, and if you sky+'d it, it should have kept automatically recording until the programme finished.

 

Can someone pls explain why Darke is relegated to Mathew Hatton when he is the best commentator Sky have........

 

Check your sky plus settings. "Add to end of recording" = automatic.

That should record to the end, although I would always set it manually to record until well after the scheduled end myself.

 

If they insist on having Dave Clark and his freaky eyes hosting these big fight nights,Sky should make him wear sunglasses.

 

Jim Watt ruined it in about the 8th and 9th round when he was calling for it to be stopped. Cotto was still hitting Pac even though his face was becoming a bit of a mess. Its boxing for ****s sake. If the fighters still moving like Cotto was let it continue. If you stopped fights for that legends like Marciano would never have been champions.

When Cotto landed the good left to get out the corner (think it was 8 or 9) and the commentator got excited and Watt just droned on about how good Pac is. pissed me off.

He also ruined the Mayweather Marquez fight by sucking Floyds dick for 12 rounds and never giving Marquez credit for any work. Even though I appreciate how one sided that fight was.

 

Nah, Jim Watt was far more annoying last week. "You can't give someone a round for landing one or two shots so I've given that one to the guy who landed absolutely nothing"

 

Yeah, notice Watt always doing that. If a fighter lands a couple of consecutive jabs without reply then Watt starts up about maybe thinking about stopping it soon.

 

How come Paul Dempsey left Sky he was great (asked great questions)

 

Setanta must have offered more money. He still does a good job as their number 1 Football presenter so I can't see him coming back to sky anytime soon.
