Cleverly v Mcintosh got 600,000 viewers

Man thats depressing reading........a re-run of a touch of frost would get maybe triple the viewers over a world title boxing match :-(

 

TV need to commit to boxing. Boxing isn't a sport you can't commit to. If they are going to show a world title fight then the country needs to know about it. I can't remember ever seeing adverts etc Maybe a week before the fight AT BEST. People will watch touch of frost cos it's an established program. Boxing is not an established sport. You can't take boxing away from the public and bring it back so many times. They lose interest, people won't understand what they are seeing or who they are seeing.

New programs like The Take etc get loads of marketing. Never seen it for boxing.

 

My understanding it is a wholsesale selling of all ITV shows lobbied as an idea to recoup some lost ad revenue. It is not specific to sport, And as we stand is only an idea.

It is not to be compared to Sky Box Office. The only similarities are the name.

It would appear to be so.

No idea sorry.

 

when will be the last itv boxing?its ashame because i think the hennesy shows have been far better qulity compared to warren,is there anyway itv would change there minds on this?

 

I agree Alba, I've been very pleasently surprised by the Hennesey bills on ITV.
