    Don't use the money excuse...grow a set and give it a try. I had to hitchhike to cover the Schoolboy championships and ABAs in the mid-80s and sleep on floors or on stations after remote pro shows a few years later.

    Adios.

    Bunce how about next time you interview Haye you ask him how he feels about a large number of hardcare british boxing fans, and most US fans turning there back on him?

    In the US he is seen as a joke, ducker and a coward. How does he feel about it?

    Its a genuine question I would like to here him and Booth answer with no BS.

    I dont think anyone including you Buncey has the bottle to ask it.

    Boxing is an entertainment industry.

    If you want to see people you consider to be best boxers face other good boxers in bouts that are not money orientated then watch Amateur boxing.

    All this bull**** about how he is a fraud is utter nonsense, PART OF HIS JOB IS TO PROMOTE HIMSELF, it's what he's doing when you moan about him bullshitting, It's that 'bull****' that results in the casual fans knowing who he is and causes his events to huge PPV successes.

    Sky and the rest of the media cover it because he PROVIDES ENTERTAINMENT, MAKES MONEY FOR THEM by bringing in the casual boxing fans. They are also doing their job.

    Nobody gives a **** if some internet keyboard warrior hardcore boxing fan moans because he said something 3 years ago and hasn't done it

    Get a life

    Which is great and if I only had to look after myself and didn't have people relying on my income I might try that but they do and as willing I am to risk my own neck I am not there's. I understand what you're saying how it's one thing to say it on the internet and another to a man's face. However the fact is most people on the internet who feel like us are in the same situation as me, the only chance we have is when boxers will call you for shows like the ESB radio here...but they have to keep people sweet, they're not gonna phone in to get wracked with hard questions and made to look a fraud are they?

    I don't actually have a problem with you or even Sky's commentating, interviews etc. except in a few rare cases, hell McCrory slated Gavin this week and got his own special thread dedicated to being a tosser for doing it. Opinions divide however some of us, our only option is to vent from our bedroom as you put it and places like this places main page, boxing news 24 even though its filled with ridiculous bias do pretty well in terms of numbers. Generating revenue however is a lot harder when the internet is in most cases a free resource of information, unlike selling articles and doing radio shows which allows you to travel to these places.

    I've asked the question and he answers the same way: He doesn't care.
    The publie like him, People like him...some of the hardcore have turned their back.
    Great, let's hope that they all show up for the two fantastic British title fights at Wembley and Tyson Fury against the Brazilian banger...we can all get together and discuss Ezzard Charles and other great light-heavyweights...I will book a table for the hardcore...shall I get it for one, two...perhaps three of us!

    Adios.

    Boxing News has 10,000 subscribers, Boxing Monthly is pros the same. Your show was in the top 5 on Setanta every week and got 100s of emails, your BBC podcast is the top london download. Bradley vs Alexander got 30k viewers at 4am. Is that done with the 3 hardcaore fans.

    If Haye says he doesn't care I don't beleive him. Hows he gonna make it as a Hollywood actor when nobody in the US knows who he is and those that do think hes a coward. His Heavyweight legacy is pathetic.

    Your show is objectove and unbias. Its not fake like Ringside as you keep banging on about.......until your bring up Haye and then its just like the rest of the crap we get.

    The only man I have faith in pushing Haye and Booth is you.....but you won't.

    We all know Haye reads this site.

    I reckon one day you're gonna get a PM inviting you to interview him.

    Then you can ask all you want.

    I aint joking by the way, if somebody was as passionate and vocal as you are against me, I would give you the chance to come and talk about it.

    Mr Bunce,
    What do think about Tyson's Brazilian opponent & how the fight will go?
    Love the show, keep up the good work.

    Muchos Gracias.
