I would rather watch good quality competitive match ups once every two months than the junk ITV are getting fed and then in turn feeding us.
Imagine what the casual fan is thinking watching this guff?
They should give more money for KO's etc.
Thank god for fighters like Benn and Froch.
If boxing is to survive the promoters must be held accountable.
the Hennessy shows on ITV have been quite decent this year but now the deal coming to an end he's serving up crap on the undercard and no doubt stick his better bouts on the Froch bill a few weeks from now.
Agreed Mark, the thing is (and I hate to say it) the UFC metality of having the best match ups they can find on every card is the only way boxing will atract the casual veiwer.
Even at world level the best thing HBO came up was The Nipple Vs The Klit, I mean come on, Merchant said that "Arriola is probably the best young heavy since Riddick Bowe"??
Maurice Harris would have probaly ko'ed the big mexican, there are tons of US heavys since Bowe who are better then the nipple.
Trully said state of afairs.
