    I think it's been fine, but the production doesn't matter much to me personally.

    Let's be real though

    Sky are better but BT can be comically entertaining. From watching the obnoxious Paul Dempsey making everything awkward, to Frank Warren calling people by the wrong names, to Richie Woodhall saying he once took all the fighters on the bill on the pads, to big Ron McIntosh emasculating everybody in the post fight interview.

    BT is a second rate. Let's be honest. However Sky have about 20 odd years headstart on them. It could just be simple things though that BT could have done to improve on the flaws Sky have.

    Like commentators for example. Quick look on social media and there'd always be a stream of comments slating the Sky pundits and commentators. The cheerleaders such as Johnny Nelson. BT should have used that feedback to try and edge Sky out in the punditry battle. Get some real boxing heads on the show but they've got Fat Bunce and Dempsey still crawling around the gaff.

    Production wise was always going to hard as Sky are hard to beat.

    BT should be using any opportunity they get to plug cards especially when there's a premier league match on or a champions league night but it seems they've done this sparingly.

    This one is on Warren. Cancelling cards left right and centre. Nothing screams small-time than when this is done.

    Little or zero promotion of their stable of fighters. Mentioned this a few days back about Frank. He really does not understand the concept of promoting. Instead he'd rather palm off reporters and shut down their questioning when he should be banging the drum at any given opportunity. You're more likely to get a "we'll release more info at some point" or a "we don't know yet" from Frank than from Eddie.

    In the end it all comes down to Eddie and Sky knowing exactly how to polish a turd whereas Frank and BT don't.

    They pretty much live and die on Fury coming good. Biggest non ppv numbers this year BT or sky was for his fight. That farce could have destroyed it though.
