Beyond the Ropes?

It basically just tells your everything you already know, but in a gravelly voice, dragged out over 60 minutes.

 

It's not really aimed at the hardcore or even casual boxing fans, it's aimed at the average Joe Blow who's boxing knowledge extends only to what they read in The Sun (or insert tabloid of choice). The general public. There are far more of them then there are hard boxing fans, so whilst there may be no new revelations for an avid follower of the sport, to the general sports fan, it makes interesting viewing.
It could mean the difference of a few thousand sales on the PPV to Sky, and that's all it is - marketing. It's just an advert.

I thought it was pretty well done, and if I knew very little about Haye/Harrison and boxing in general, this probably would have stoked my interest in the fight. It's just promotion.

 

I thought it was a decent watch 2 to be honest. Audley is still getting anihilated but it made good tv if nothing else.

 

It was shockingly bad, kinda like a bad attempt to replicate 24/7, particularly the end bit when the narrater goes off on his little tangent.

The narrater sounded like the guy off little Britain.

 

The guy who was narrating sounded weird.

And not in a good way.

Like really really ****. How did he got a narrating job?

 

He narrates the "a time in history" segments during test cricket when there showing highlights from previous tests involving those nations.

 

The narrator was a poor choice, agreed.

Overall though I actually enjoyed it. Don't know how anyone could say they would prefer the countdown show with Dave Darts over it asking the same inane questions to Watt and Nelson while reusing Sky Sports News clips.

Made a nice change and I thought Sky did a good job with it.

Stop moaning Rob :deal

 

hated the narrator , he was plain and added very little drama and adding drame being the main reason he was on is a bad showing

 

I thought it was good.

 

It was OK.

I mean, what were you expecting?
