I was happy with production last night. Decent commentary, let’s be honest it can’t be any worse than the mates at Sky taking constant ****, and also no adverts in between rounds so we actually can hear what the corners are saying. All in all happy. Anyone agree or disagree?
Thought it was fine but I'd love Ian Darke on comms instead of John Rawling. I just don't think Rawling has done enough to deserve being the main man. Richie Woodhall is fantastic and probably the best pundit in boxing. They were a little biased towards Fury but nothing like Sky towards their fighters.
The foreign commentary team were very enthusiastic with no adverts at all and the sound in the corners could be clearly heard between rounds. Big improvement on the Sky 'PPV Selling' Team
Very unsavoury behaviour running into the pitch like that today. Heard Tony Bellew ain’t happy, said he was coming looking for you.
BT Box Office is miles better than Sky Box Office IMO. No adverts, better pundits and commentary and less bias.
Had no complaints at all, payment was a doddle, Lennox Lewis was a nice touch as well. Seen a lot of stick on Social Media for Barry Jones, personally I like him. Be interesting what they will hint the numbers were.
Woodhall is the best british boxing pundit for me. Genuinely loves the sport and knows his stuff at every level. Buncey is the most entertaining IMO. A gas man. I said it to the boys last night; it was refreshing to watch a big PPV without the over the top cheerleading like on sky. BT were warm towards Fury obviously but it wasn't over the top. You can see the pundits are enjoying the shows for what they are, rather than trying to tell us something is happening that isn't really happening at all. Sky actually ruin some good matchroom shows.
Sky's production is terrible. I was watching on Showtime with Mauro Ranello and Pauli Malignaggi and it was a million miles better than the cack Sky give us. Unbiased punditry and great storyteller in Ranello. No ad breaks during rounds either.
production was spot on what pisses me off with sky box office is an advert every 5 mins, even in the main event bt box office had non of that slick production
