Christmas and the aftermath. People involved in the game want time off over Christmas and people who may otherwise buy tickets are now skint.

They don't normally do this.

Why can't the people who want time off have it and let everyone else get on with it?

It's normally slow, but at least there is usually one or two televised shows.

Why am I bothering to pay for allegedly this month? What a waste of money.

Because like most people you know you should cancel it but can't be arsed going through the rigmarole of canceling and then signing back up (plus a connection fee if you're with SKY) when it picks up again.

Your right. Most of the big British promoters stop mid-December and don't usually return until the first weekend of February. Same thing happens from late July / mid-August until the start of October. I never expect to see any televised British action from SKY or allegedly during these periods.

There is always something on in September. There is usually something in January too.

Not every boxer would be fighting in January would they? And there have been plenty of shows in January in the past.

What a pathetic, needlessly insulting post.
