ITV's long advert breaks

[twenty six]

Not me surely, Carbo ?
With you all the way mate.

Ruin it a bit, don't they. Non-live coverage just can't capture the excitment of the live event.

I'm just glad ITV picked up the fight, I can cope with the long advert breaks

YES!!!!! Praise the Lord. Someone has sense in the world.

Scoop !!!!!!!
ITV get their revenue from adverts.
Coverage costs a fee.
Revenue from adverts pays for fight - particularly long ones.
Scoop !!!!!!!
The commentary was added the following day, but allegedly the commenators did not know the result, nor saw the fight in advance.
Believe what you will.
Sir John of Rawling was in Belfast - allegedly to avoid knowing what happened in the Froch fight.

AND ANOTHER!!!!!! Two people with some sense here. Two whole people who speak the truth. Well done to you, sir.

I don't care if it has long ad breaks or if it's delayed coverage - of course not all of us can stay up until stupid o'clock in the morning.

Sounded to me as they didn't comentate on it live either

I'm fairly sure the commentary was from the studio, not from the venue itself.

i know they were definitely not at ring side,
what i meant was that they sounded as if they knew the result before they comentated on it rather than comentating on a live feed.
Just a feeling i got don't know if it's true or not.

Look, all I was saying is that long advert breaks ruin the enjoyment of a fight. Next time ITV do that I'll tape it and fast forward through the adverts.

I watch so little TV now, perhaps its like that all the time, but the volume of adverts just seemed excessive.

But yeah, I don't pay for ITV, I have not right to demand they show anything etc etc...

I don't reckon they knew the result before commentating, because Barry McGuigan wouldn't have been so consistantly negative towards Froch if he knew that was going to happen

[WildWaylon]

extra time to snort another line..

im liking this coverage.Man Froch is absolutely poor (style wise), has heart and amazing chin, his defense is wack. Im a fan , against heavy hitters, who knows!!

The first line certainly explains the second

You had time to go to the shop and get back before it re started. Thank God F1 is on the Beeb now.

Just a shame they took the Brundlefly with them. :geek2:

Actually I like him. Is the new presenter/anchormam shaving yet?

[bigjack]

I think they knew the result before commentating,McGuigan kept going on about Froch needing a big finish in the last round,and yes he is a shite commentator

Same thing, for the Pac fight. And spot on, too.
