    If Venusdiablo changes his mind and decides that Primetime never had any technical issues after all, he might come back and delete his post. You can't delete what's been quoted by others though...

    Do people really actually care when they constantly bring up the lack of a HD option, or is this some kind of running joke i'm not in on?

    im a really big Amir Khan fan! i hope 1 day he fights & beats Mayweather n the rest of it etc etc........ BUT!!!!! i agree with few ppl here already that he's just too thick to be a boxing analyst/pundit/tv person.

    I genuinely care and I hope the complaints will be heard and they will invest the £15 they are taking from people.

    Overall a good programme. Picture was fine, if not HD. Good studio team.
    I liked Benny Ricardo.
    I missed the start of the freeview, but heard there was a problem with the first round of Crolla? The picture was fine for the main programme.

    All round a really decent show

    Personally I was in stitches at the commentator who decided to give Mayweather the nickname 'Black Widow' and then just preceeded to use it for the rest of the fight like it was his actual nickname.

    I wouldn't say no if you're hiring Venus?

    I'm gonna be honest I thought it was all a bit flat. I like Buncey and Andy but the chemistry wasn't there on Saturday for me, none of them were bouncing off of one another like they used to. I don't mind Duke but he could do with brightening up a bit, I appreciate the serious approach he takes for in-depth explanations but there should always be room for light-hearted antics especially with Buncey present.

    McCulloch wasn't great.

    The single most annoying thing for me was that every time I changed channel the PPV had reset to the advertisement and I had to go through the whole "press O.k" to view bull**** every time.

    The Old Firm game, Tottenham/Liverpool and Man U/Chelsea were all on Sunday and you'd expect to have the power to navigate channels hassle free to catch which parts of the repeats I wanted to watch.
