    The commentators seemed impressed by Dunnes boxing ability. They thought a fight between Dunne and Munroe would be a close.The also showed Coyle and O'Donnells fights. There was a special feature on Froch training camp which was in Mayo_Overall it was good:thumbsup

    I've just produced a boxing radio show for irish-boxing.com. It's available on the homepage. Let me know what you think.
    Before anyone points out a little mistake - on the recording I called James Moores upcoming opponent Yuri Romanov when it is of course Yuri Foreman!

    Top notch Cormac, I really enjoyed the recording.:yepBut Im sorry to point out that Harrison wrong gold at Sydney 2000, not Athens 2004:deal

    Also Cormac maybe in the future you could screen a non televised boxing promotion on the site. I know its a big undertaking but it is possible. What do you think.:think

    Cheers. Two glaring errors on my behalf! will have to be more thorough in the edit next month!
    Also a couple of years back I produced coverage of an Eamonn Magee fight in Letterkenny for Season Ticket on BBC NI. I had to cover the costs of the two cameramen and their equipment. What the BBC paid me fell well short of what it cost to produce - it did reduce the cost however. But without sizeable sponsorship or charging people to view it it is easier said than done. That said, I would love to do it and in a few years I'd hope it would be something we could look at.
    Presently I'm running the site on the basis of my only real expense being time. I need more advertising to take the site to the next level, which obviously would include video and the like. So anyone with deep pockets and a business send me an email about advertising.

    Im not going to pretend I know about the costs of these matters, but surely the promoter should help to pay the cost of the camera men , it makes sense for them to try and reach a bigger audience to boost there boxers profile, and you can provide that audience through your site.But its easier said than done and I Know money is not so readily available. Good luck with it anyhow.

    I think the whole promotion has been scrapped on Friday, so it looks as if Paul McCloskey will have to wait for his British title shot. Am I right in saying that Cormac?????

    Hello nutter, according to today's Irish News McCloskey boxes for the title on Friday. It's short notice and I hope he is prepared as Lynes his opponent is quality. Paul must start as an underdog for this contest but that does not mean he has no chance of victory.So lets keep our fingers crossed for an Irish success.
