Just after watching this week's 'Ringside'

If you didn't know that before you are obviously not that media savvy.

 

So, it's on Sky and they promote Sky programming over other network's programming. Unheard of. They are having a ****ing laugh!

 

A new low

 

Im with supremo, they cant try to pass themselves off as a boxing show when a genuine world title fight gets only a couple of minutes air time.

This is the reason Buncey was so popular, he ' doesnt sit on fences nor benches ' when it comes to boxing and he would discuss all the fights regardless of which network it was on.

Sky dont seem to have a problem discussing football the world over so why not boxing? (they will actually get more viewers bydiscussing the big fights)

 

i think the point your man was trying to make was that at least the show on setanta was purely a boxing show, featuring previews and reports on fights whether they were on sky, itv or otever. I thought the last ten minutes was good with the frank warren and bob mee discussion especially frank getting told off for talking about pbf

 

Ringside was good this week, yeah ok - a couple of questions in the Cleverly interview were daft, but overall it was good. Nice little tribute to Duddy as well, and I enjoyed the views of Mee, Warren (especially on Mayweather) and the boxing news hacks.

 

[ the big names in that division are Cloud, Pascal, Hopkins and Dawson, not Jurgen Brahmer! but this reply from Warren went unchallenged, for you raverage Sky subscriber with no knowledge of boxing they would think Brahmenr was the man at the weight- when he is far from it![/quote]


good point but as frank said, "thats business"

 

tbh i doubt anyway watches ringside unless they are big fans of boxing - who know about hopkins, cloud etc. hundreds of other channels to watch if you dont follow boxing you dont watch it

 

The alphabets are there because historically the T.V. companies have wanted every big fight to be for a 'World' Title. Sky are hardly going to question the validity of Brahmer as a champion when they are going to be promoting the fight as a world title fight, are they?

 

All the McDonnell stuff will be repeated on tonights show as well

 

I just don't think they talk enough about boxing as a whole. They give too much credence to stuff they are showing which is to be expected, but I was expecting better of this show. There should be a fairly equal split between British boxing and world boxing IMO.

Plus when they asked Cleverly that I cringed.

 

I thought it was alright but I don't have sky back at home so just to bbe able to watch something about boxing without ****ingg aabout on youtube is nice.

Better than nothing.

 

Which question which was asked to Cleverly was so cringeworthy? I was only half-listening to be honest.
