Primetime TV boss reveals Froch show details and more

Primetime is a wonderful substitute for Setanta!!

 

i wish thy would look at doing something with top rank /sauerland like setanta did

 

Top Rank for sure :yep if only Setanta and their deal had continued.

 

Excellent news.
I really don't understand why Primetime sometimes get a hard time on this forum. They are providing access to boxing on tv. You just have to PAY for it. Support them.

 

Dunno about the Sauerland shows. Most of them were horrendous, only saved by Buncey and Kerr in the studio.

 

I thought Primetime would do some preview shows for this fight but that doesn't look like happening. Strange how they have dumped Buncey & Rosenthal and gone for Kerr/Barker instead.

 

you are right man, after setanta went tits up it became a recluse for boxing fans in the UK. Primetime has brought joy and amendment to that livid period for the lack of fights shown on tv.

Remember we even wished for a boxing channel (subscription), this may be the next best thing thus far..long live primetime!

 

Totally agree with the comments about supporting Primetime actually bringing boxing to our screens.

People need to get over themselves and the shock horror that they are running a business that, if you want to you can pay for. Fights like Abraham v Dirrell would not have been on the TV in the past, or at best a week later highlights on World of Sport with Dickie Davies.

I wonder as they (hopefully) continue if they've given any thought to offering to 'bundle' fights booked for months at a discount. Would be better value for regulars and they could have better cashflow (if that's the right word).

 

as long as they start to show more fights. this cud just be wat us boxing fans needed:good

 

As far as I knew Strikeforce has a deal with Bravo in the UK. I aint knocking primetime. More boxing is a good thing I just question the business decisions. PPV's aint an easy sell and I just think £14.95 for a carl froch fight is too much. Obviously Primetime aim for the hardcore fans and thats it.

 

I bet not ever 50% of ESB know who Vasquez Jnr is. Fair play to them.

I am sure they have reached out to GBP, Top Ranl for there cards but they must not like the revenue share option.

Be a good idea if they did Hennesey cards from 10-1 and then US Cards like Sky do sometimes. Still think £15 is to much for Froch vs Kessler!

 

so we still got to register before we order?

 

The deal with Bravo is to show it the day after. I'm pretty sure a live TV deal would still be on the table to any interested party's.

 

But why would anyone pay to watch it live when they can watch it free the next day?

 

so u dont know the results or have to go into hiding for a day.

theres nothing like watching the events live anyhow.
