Jesus......FFN gets worse

I went to Cleverly vs Boyle :-(

 

I'd like to dedicate this following post to alba:good

To be fair, they were showing **** shows (lovely alliteration there) even when they had competitors in Setanta and ITV4.

But as I've said before, surely the main blame lies at the feet of the promoters and matchmakers who put on such turgid stuff. Heck, you'd even have to blame the BBBoC for making crappy mandatory fights etc. But they need to make these crappy mandatory fights in the crummy divisions, so you can end up blaming everyone-sky, the promoters and the board.

Sky probably have as much sway as they want. Nobody would be showing british boxing if it wasn't for them-so theoretically they could demand whatever matchups they want. But they seemingly don't, as they are obviously just not that interested in boxing, bar just showing the token weekly FFN and occasional PPV or US card.

Yeah, it's ****-but it's how it is, and will be for the forseeable future.

 

Sky obviously don't want to get into the politics (for want of a better word) of British boxing and are happy to just be delivered a card to televise every Friday night.

 

:good

 

Agree with this.

Sky are showing Friday Fight Night and ticking their boxing box. For me this is because they can attract just enough customers by showing this, but by dropping it they lose more than they gain. I honestly dont see them having that great a hand in what the actual bills are.

That being said, this year hasnt been that bad. I thought last year most of the shows were quite good. This year has been alright too for me (Lindsay v Arthur was a barnstormer of a fight).

Granted there have been better shows over the last few years, but there have been much, much worse.

I'm just glad that there's a boxing show on TV at a relatively sociable hour. Without FFN I'm stuck with KOTV at daft o'clock in the morning, re runs of Burt Sugars top ten heavies on ESPN and the odd random fight that Eurosport show which is usually delayed by about 3 months!

Keep 'em coming Sky.

 

God that is awful.

 

What's wrong with Bayaar-Sexton, I'm looking forward to that it's a decent gaige of just how good Sexton is and both are decent to watch so it should be a decent fight.

 

To be honest if the boxing promoters want the viewer numbers to fall and Sky to **** them off then they are doing a great job.

 

I see it being a very easy win for Sexton and I don't really see it being competitive. I hope i'm proven wrong though :good

 

I hope Bayaar ruins sexton :good

 

why Dan?
