Brit forum campaign to US promoters: SHOW US YOUR FIGHTS!!!

Correct. If you don;t want a crappy stream that cuts out every 5 minutes, it only costs a few quid a year to sort out.

Based purely on the number and quality of fights I personally am able to watch, this is the best time I can remember since I started following boxing.

 

If you download an avi it doesn't take that long. Especially if it's a fresh upload and everyone jumps on it.

Yeah, DVDs do take a day or so to download.

 

With all due respect I doubt TV industry bigwigs care about your schedule mate.

 

I know this is beside the issue but most fights are avalaible to download a couple hours after finishing. I usually start them off Sunday the morning and they are usually done by mid-afternoon. It suits me as I like having a "collection", sad I know!!

 

Whatever the issue is I guess its connected with why the Beeb, ITV etc won't get fully behind these late fights. They just mustn't make much financial sense.

My "wishlist", which I think is realistic, would be for BBC or ITV to sign with a British promoter and do a Friday or Saturday night card every few weeks with maybe the odd 3am fight from America tagged on every now and again.

That would hopefully widen the sport in this country which I think is something that badly needs doing.

 

primetimes puerto rico card was better then a lot of the **** the big six put on

 

That was the best card I've seen in ages. Great nights, bocing.

 

Mate, I'd love to do that, but between my connection speed and file-sharing, it's just a nightmare for me. I'd also like a collection, but there's no valid way for me to do it.

 

My laptop's godly (Intel i7 and such), but the internet capability round my way is pathetic. Can't get cable either.

 

Where's abouts you from mate? Thought most areas would have decent lines by now.

 

Falkirk in Scotland. The whole area's factored though, so to install cable is unlikely cause they need something like 70% of the residents to agree. And they're so stupid they throw bricks at firemen when they've come to put out fires.

Rob, I can't bear to give Sky money if I can avoid it.

I'm looking to see if BT can offer a better line. It's either that or move. Which it may come to. I want a bigger back room for all my interests.
