FFS SKY SPORTS! WHY??

[IRLangmaid25]

I was working that show and I'm pretty sure it was a band called "booty luv" and they "sang" for tyson furys entrance iirc. And yes they were a little off key :)

Was it on Fury's debut as I seem to have some recollection of this?

You could be right. Didn't tyson have a little dance behind them or eat some confetti or both.

Did a little bit of digging and it was confirmed on ESB http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/sho ... 275&page=2 and the member named Chinny stated that they had their tats hanging ou and it is backed up on Saddo Boxing (where I submit articles to on as well) http://www.saddoboxing.com/8774-underca ... ascal.html

Charlie Webster does the pitside interviews on speedway too. I've got friends in the speedway business and they have had a few things to say about Charlie. But each to their own I suppose.
I followed her on Twitter for a while but it did seem a bit me, me, me so I unfollowed.

FWIW I don't think it added anything to the program last night but I wouldn't say that it spoilt my enjoyment any.

Anyway look her up on Google and there are a few decent pics on there.

Just looking at her cv it looks like she is probably being under used to be fair http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Webster.

I think some people just dont like women in sports, Andy Gray im talking to you! Me i dont mind it as long as they know their stuff like gabby logan of course its a plus if they are easy on the eye too. (man translation = if i can use them to feed the ducks)

[Final round]

She was fine, bout time some women got in on the act....save your ire for the dirty f ucking drugs cheats dragging the sport into the gutter.

Mmmmm.... Im no garnett but it seems because shes attractive and does a bit of training in an ABA gym she's in. I just hope she adds something, and isnt there for equality reasons. Who would you rather hear speak for a minute between a round, or 5mins between a fight, jamie moore (or insert Intelligent charismatic ex-boxer) or ex-skysports news presenter who does a bit down the local aba.

See how she gets on i guess. I remember 8-9 years ago there were hate campaigns on here almost weekly about Adam Smith. Turned out to be alright, to be fair.

What, so someone who 'knows their stuff' is all the criteria you need to appear on a boxing show now? Christ, why don't they just build a massive long panel and have all of us lined up at it so we can chip in our two pence?

Oh that's right, they wouldn't do that because ultimately no one watching a TV show wants to know our opinion. And why should they? Why do we need this girl running around in her heels quoting whatever she read about the fighters on wikipedia as she tries launch a mainstream presenting career? What has she done in boxing to justify her being there? It's just ridiculous. Know her stuff? I'm sure she could speak at length about Monzon, Foster, Arguello, Pryor, Napoles, couldn't she?

So just because she is a girl she can't be involved in boxing? She has opened her own gym which helps youngsters in boxing and also has boxed a bit as an amateur. She'll have had much more of an influence in boxing than you have and also has genuine interest in the sport

Of course she can be involved, give her card number 3 and tell to wear something sexy and walk round the ring after number 2 has finished. Imagine the uproar if there were ringcardboys... I jest. Like i said eaelier, give her time before making judgment. Altho i must say that female MOTD commentator did not work!

as i said in an erlier post she interveiwed me and it was good on the night i felt like me and danny the other tom dallas supporter who was interveiwed came across really well not as drunken pissheads in the crowd

[Bricks]

Anybody find the sudden inclusion of this pretty girl with a microphone running around the arena interviewing fans slightly patronising? Show me fights and let me hear what some articulate ex-fighters think of the result. I do not need to know the thoughts of some drunken piss heads in the crowd, anymore than I need a ditsy pair of tits with a mike in her hand to hold my attention.

What next, off brand reality TV 'celebrity' guests? Morons tweeting their thoughts on screen and Skype chats? I effing hate all these layers of mechanics producers feel they need to layer onto shows in order to make people watch.

I concur its a bad move.

No offense mate, but your interviews brought nothing to the show, absolutely nothing. You're obviously glad to have been on TV, but for obvious reasons you had no insight to the fighters and the segment offered the viewer at home nothing of value. I'd rather leave it to the professionals than have blokes in the crowd rambling on and saying nothing.

[Trojans44]

Some absolutely horrendous sexism on this thread.

Oh yes can't wait to get professionals like Glen McCrory

[THEBUTCH]

Skysports and Prizefighter are tacky pieces of nasty shit. There was a time when Sky offered something to boxing, but that c*nt Adam Smith is making an utter shambles of it all. Between Smith and Matchroom the buture is not bright for boxing on this channel(s).

[dbf]

Believe she trains at the Lynn now as her coach moved from Fitzroy to there. She's had an amateur bout at the Women's Box Series in Swindon, so she clearly has more than a passing interest in the sport.

At least Sky are trying new things, they might not always get it right but experimenting is good in my opinion.

Just look at the Behind the ropes for Froch Bute, and compare that to previous ones, its a completely different style and a different class. Yes they have drawn inspiration from Showtimes excellent Fight Camp 360 but they've pulled it off well. I think even Buncey commented on it and he works for the opposition!

It takes time to get things right, but trying to improve is always a good move.

The punditry and presentation is shite, once proud hard men being paid to suck the cock(not literally of course) of the house fighters. The bird running round adds nothing. Dave darts with his Thomas the Tank Engine face still makes me cringe, the commentary is hilarious too.

Nowt gonna change lads.

Thomas the Tank Engine face...like it! My ex lass always said that he looked like he needed burping.

you need to lighten up mate they asked me what tom had been working on so i told them i said we all know he has power and if moves about like he has in training and starts landing shots people will get knocked out, I know he didn't fight well but that is the truth he was working on speed and movement in training unfortunatly on the night he got dragged into brawls and lossed badly in the semi, i don't know how you can say i had no insight to the fighter in question

Were you the one that spoke first?
