Why not comment on the thread and drop your glib comments for 5 minutes?
All the decent sized UK promoters got a good airing on the show in question. He's no Saint and puts his foot in his mouth often enough so he should fit in here you'd think......
There was never amy 'bitterness' or any other variety of negative emotion on here til he started calling Ian McNeilly very nasty names and making what could be interpreted as coded threats towards him, simply for saying that he would not be subscribing to BN. I had previously been a big fan of Bunce's but lost all respect for him at that moment as he revealed himself as a kept man and a bully.
And yes, i really was gutted. Imagine finding out Richie Benaud was a paedo or Brian Moore dealt crack to kids! That's how it felt (alright, i'[m exaggerating a bit!).
Anyway, Kell isn't fighting that French Morrocan kid, he's fighting Matt Hatton and everyone knows it.

I liked Bunce, still think he's good for the Sport.
However once he made nasty (innacurate) comments about Ian McNeilly he went massively down in my estimation.

...particularly excellent if you appreciate the finer arts of the allegedly propaganda machine. Bunce nearly creams himself repeatedly over the strength of the BN line up over the next 3 months (williams v mcphilbin, sauerland shows left right and centre, world ranked TBAs for britains only world champions to build them towards bigger fights. Yawn.) while repeatedly lauding the success of the channel to date. Independent broadcasting at it's best.

Kell Brook - Announcment to be made on the 9th of January about opponent. Fight will take place in Sheffield. Opponent is one they have wanted for a while. Who coud it be? Malinaggi? Hatton?
Darren Barker - Was said to have been offered the fight with Chevez jnr but had to knock it back because of the notice or something. Hearn has offered Daniel Geale to come over to the UK to defend his IBF title Nothing set in stone for Barker.
Gavin Rees - was offered the Ricky Burns fight but not enough money in it for him. Looks like he's going to face his mandatory over in France.
Carl Frampton - defending his Commenwealth title against Kris Hughes then going be boxing again in March over in America
Paul McCloskey - Marcos Maidana was offered fight twice but wanted more money. Still nothing confirmed.
Aswell as Prizefighter, this could be a busy year.
Big year were are Eddie yearns world champions going to come from? He's not exactly setting the heather on fire with his world title exploits is he, Eddie should conscentrate on trying to win titles with his own fighter,which he hasn't done yet and stop talking down fighters who have archived this!
