Steve Bunce ‏@bigdaddybunce A lot of fights coming up in the next six weeks on BoxNation: some announced, some still waiting and I should have more news 7:30pm Monday.
They best get this one but from when they didnt get the first one im not sure they will get this one Plus Donaire fought in that card they always show Donaire fights
They were banging on about it so much on the bunce hour the other day it would look a little stupid if they cant get it to be honest im not even that fussed, Rios is obviously gonna beat Average Alvarado again and it probably wont be half as good as the first
It wont look as good as the other one but i think Alvarado is gonna fight smart this time and not exchange could be interesting Regardless though it will still be more exciting than most fights this year
he can fight smart as he proved against Prescott, really had to start moving around the ring and try to pick his spots after Prescott was beating the **** out of him toe to toe, he was lucky Prescott gassed though or he was losing that fight regardless it didn't seem like he was as afraid of standing with Rios as he was of Prescott
I don't think it's about not being fussed. What are we paying for if we can't get this fight ? It's a rematch of last years fight of the year. I want to see it. Also there's the Golovkin card in Monte Carlo - I want to see that too. We never know if we are getting Top Rank shows until the last minute. I, for one find it very frustrating. I expect to see at least one show a week for my £10. I still think they'll get it but when I subscribe to a channel eg Sky or ESPN I want to know what I'm getting for my money before hand not on someone's whim. I don't have to pester Sky to find out if there might be showing Villa vs Liverpool this Sunday. If people didn't pester Boxnation by Twitter etc all we would be getting are repeats of old VVarren promotions.
The way Boxnation does business never makes them look good to potential subscribers cos the schedule is always bare. Top Rank are probably making them sweat a bit, they probably picked up Bradley fight for peanuts and it ended up being foty candidate and now Top Rank want a fair price.
You have a point, but picking these fights up late must save them money. No ****er else in the UK is doing it.
