    Why can't they show the odd fight now and again? It doesn't have to be a mega fight, nor one involving a Brit.

    An 'off the wall' fight, every 3 months or so, at 3 or 4 in the morning, is hardly going to hurt them or their ratings (something they are not supposed to be about anyway).

    I find it disgusting in the way they have totally deserted our sport, a British sport with a long history and tradition.

    They spend millions on tennis, spend millions on Grandprix (even when they are cutting it), yet can't even put a single boxing match on even once per a year for an hour or so: it's a total disgrace!

    We all know where that BBC licence fee money is going to and it isn't back to the working class who struggle more than any to pay it.

    It does annoy me that they don't even have highlights of Brits in world title fights.

    **** the BBC, they couldn't possibly fit in some boxing to appeal to the average heterosexual. Where could they put it on a saturday night anyway? They seem to be overloaded as it is fitting in The Graham Norton show, Strictly come dancing, Hairdresser of the year, Torchwood, Dr Who, Dale Winton, Britain's cross dresser of the year, etc..............

    Danny Cohen's BBC cultural marxist **** heap can go to hell.

    The odd show at 3 in the morning would keep the sticks smoldering.

    No one's asking for the world, but for some kind of recognition of this great British sport.

    I was being sarcastic. The BBC are only interested in promoting ***gatory and the like. Boxing certainly doesn't suit their agenda.

    it is Fraudley's fault, they wasted all there money on him & in the same time span negelected a golden age of Gatti war's, De la hoya, Trinidad, Roy Jones's & other specials which were never televised here.

    why is boxing so popular in poland, germanys etc? ...Becus they show Boxers of all-nationalities on free4all tv!
