Karass-Berto card on B0xNat10n

Post by Ezzard »

Brilliant again...

Amazing TV channel.

But...

The commentary was atrocious. Probably just about the most biased commentary I've ever heard.

The droning on about punch stats. The way there was only ever one guy in the ring...

I did a search to see if anyone else felt the same.

thats a good article. i started paying attention to haymon after malignaggis rant, and it seems to be alll too true. thats why punks like broner get all opportunities, easy fights, and tv company propaganda etc. he probably wont have to fight a non haymon fighter, keeping it all in the family, and keeping up the appearance that he is some kind of special fighter. i would rather watch a russian streamed fight these days, cos you can hear the crowd, and the blows from the fight, but you cant understand the commentary. it means you watch the fight honestly without being swayed by shite like a cheerleading commentary and compubox stats. to this day people still see bradleys win over pac as being an affront to common sense , and as long as they watch and listen to the hbo production they cant see it any other way. what they need to do is get a HD copy of the fight, turn down the sound, pay no attention to the compubox shite, and play the fight at half speed. if they did this then they would not be surprised that bradley won.
propaganda is a powerful tool , and its no surprise that tv companies are expert peddlers. just like the so -called financial crisis.....if you tell people often enough, and from enough sources, they will be suckered in. meanwhile the rich get so much richer, their property goes up in value, their consumption of luxury goods continues to break all records etc. the mug punter suffers austerity while polititians and chairmens salaries keep rising.

Great article that, I agree totally, it's the same in UK boxing, too many agendas and too much power wielded by too few people. Corruption is rife in most sports though, where there is money there is corruption.

Some great cards and fights on BN at the moment. I can put up with the commentary for £10 a month, as bad as it may be!
