Bunce Hour 19/02

Is the Jennings fight definitely not on TV then?

I actually do wanna see Groves and McGuire tbh but yeah your right the main point is the the Jennings/Cotto debacle.

 

Its all to do with $$$$$$$

Setanta are unlikely to have the same pulling power as Sky because they wont have the same cash. I suppose they could charge us 30 odd quid a month instead and put most of the fights on PPV then they would have the csh to make all the fights happen on their channel.

Im happy to sacrifice the odd fight here and there if it means the cost stays low for us. Setanta is still value for money imo.

 

I agree I think Setanta do a great job, its easy for us here to moan about not getting fights etc etc but it has to make business sense, they have to see weigh up how much a fights gonna cost and if its gonna do good ratings here in the UK.

I think it is a real shame if a big fight involving a British fighter isn't shown though (i.e Jennings and Cotto) but its not Setanta's fault. For £12.99 you still cant complain compared to Sky etc.

 

It should be easy enough to get a stream of the fight (well I hope so anyway lol)

 

Rob - stop being such a ***.

How old are you, 46?

I can stay out until 4am and play rugby the next day - you are worrying about a game of football.

atsch

 

in most cases eg marquez v diaz its to do with the dollar signs.

but in the cotto case i reckon its not to do with money really. its more to do with warren , sky and setanta and the way the contracts are all interwined. its just a shame that it looks like we will be missing out on this fight.

setanta i reckon want to show the fight. but they cant either because of warren , sky , the contracts or all three combined. sky it looks like have no interest in the fight , the same way they have no interest in any americans fights unless its hatton or de la hoya involved.

 

How about they don't wanna pay substantial bucks only for Jennings to get embarrassed by a vastly superior opponent?

Having said that, it was a good laugh watching the same thing happen with Hatton and Mayweather

 

truly blame top rank and warren! Setanta paid for a package deal with top rank, so we deserve the full card! Arum is the one promoting the show so he should give the green light to setanta etc!

 

Confused as **** here.

Who is showing the fight if anybody?. Or has it not been decided yet?

 

J's house.

 

All huddled round a stream on his dads pc.


Pass.

 

It's not a done deal yet. Poster number one get back in your pram for a couple of hours because people do want to see Groves, Maguire, Woods, hear from Barker, hear from Loew, hear from Stracey, hear from Enzo Calzaghe before his first show and find out from a list of over 3,000 who has won the Fantasy Fight comp. Trust me.

Adios.
