    When Sports Network when into administration last year, there was an ad in BN putting the (few) assets up for sale. The biggest asset (to my mind at least) was the broadcasting rights to SN shows.

    Does anyone know who (if anyone) bought them? It would be great if someone like ESPN Classic got hold of them. What a terrific series they could make. Or something for clips on the new Ringside series.

    Does Bunce still post here or was the '50/50' thread the straw..?

    If so, make it happen big man :good

    buncey took some right old stick on here, which was bang out of order, especially taking into account the way her reports and bangs the drum for boxing.

    re the actual thread, **** knows mate, maybe allegendly new company bought them?

    Buncey is a big boy, you give it you take it.

    pretty sure Frank Warren Promotions purchased the rights which is why on the FWTV website you can watch all the old fights.

    I am sure he can, but he got it bigtime, and it was a bit over the top tbh, anyway......
    Yeah, i reckon he must have bought them back through his new company.
    what is annoying though, is on the old website there was access to some real old fights, which they have carried over to the new website.

    having re-read only half the thread, i am not surprised buncey hasn't been back on since then. The way some opinions of buncey are expressed are bank out of order. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but does the man really need a kicking?

    Don't be such a *****. Buncey went out of his way to humiliate Rob Palmer on a BBC radio station which has a far greater reach than here. He started it and should be able to take it back and move on.

    I like everyone else on here loves to hear Bunce's input but there's no need to live so far up his arse. Plus I'm sure Bunce has posted here since.

    I don't live up his arse. I have an opinion, that's it, still readng the full thread to be honest, as i was off the forum for a little while, catching up on what i missed, and i missed buncey's radion show. If it appears he has been a ****, then i will retract my words. But at the end of the day, we have all said things we shouldn't have on this froum, doesn 't make us a **** overnight

    Buncey has been back on since then, maybe not as active as before but his show has finished for a while so that's why he hasn't been on here promoting that. The man has never been one to beat around the bush with his opinions and I'm sure he can take it just as much as he gives it.

    fine, it's pointless going over it. I have read the thread, and it is bottom feeding shite, on both sides, and it is best left alone.

    What i will say is the line from Bunce saying sensible boxing fans (people who have followed boxing from before 2005) was out of order, but things get said, and i am sure no malice was intended.

    adios

    Lets not go over this again. Buncey has been on here since, im sure he will post about his london show later on, and I will email in under severall aliases as always (no mention of Mr.Haye though)
