BBC FINISHED

Post by xtremebox »

The BBC have completely withdrawn from boxing, and in this handing the Mighty Mick Hennessey his P45.

And earlier today the cobra was seen sliding his way down to hertford......

I wonder if there's something in this. Does anybody reliable know if the BBC have pulled the plug completely?

BBC getting rid of Harrison and Hobson jumping ship, sounds like BBC are getting rid of boxing.

Don`t know about the amateur boxing, but sadly David Haye has only two more fights with them.

There could be some good to come out of this episode. If all the fighters who have been fucked off from the bbc sign up toa sky affiliated promoter, then there could be some good domestic match-ups down the line, namely Audley-Skelton/Danny Williams and Haye-Macerinelli

Which could happen anyway if BBC retained their involvement.

I don't have Sky and wouldn't want to pay for it therefore I don't see this as being any good at all.

Yes, but on the plus side, we'd never have to listen to Neilly and Bunce again.

Only if Sky force the promoters to make the matches (as an American network would) which they've been largely ineffective at so far. Otherwise it's Eastern European/South American imports all round. :-?

And I can hardly imagine David Haye settling for that!

Carl Froch either for that matter.

Bunce is the middleman

Rumour is slippery Steve Bunce is speaking to Froch and McCraken to lead a revolt on Mick the Midget's ship and lead his team to the safety of Warren and Sky's lifeboat.

Bunce has alway's been warren's gym-rat

That's a perfect assessment of Bunce and Hennessy.
