Matchroom Fight Pass
Matchroom Fight Pass
Has anyone subscribed to this yet? There showing the Coldwell show tonight, which looks a good card, supposedly now going to be 10 live shows a year so it works out £3 a show (£29.95 a year). I'll be signing up in the afternoon.
Re: Matchroom Fight Pass
Is ILF / Kuggan going to be doing a show as they indicated as I noticed that he is linking up with allegedly and I wondered if they will do both channels or whether Warren had poached them
Re: Matchroom Fight Pass
Thought the same myself tobyh5. On the IFL video launching the allegedly content - there were lots of comments from viewers about jumping ship etc, with no respond/reply from the IFL boys - so putting two and two together getting the feeling they won't be on Eddie.
I caught the IFL thing on allegedly yesterday - for me it didn't transfer well on the TV screen (and I have a HDMI tele). Perhaps because I am used to more expensive production on the tele. I found the sound hard to hear at times and the lighting not great... content wise it was good and Kuggan/James have a great way with those in the fight industry to get them to relax.... I hope now with BN's backing it might look better production wise.
For me, the big appeal of IFL is that online, particularly in the early years, it gave the impression of two "chancers" going that extra mile, with not much production value (as they were so independent and possibly strapped for cash - which added to the appeal). However, as they have developed sponsors, TV backing and become mini celebs amongst the boxing fraternity I think that part of the appeal is starting to wane. Still love their work, but I did/do hope BN may up their production value now. However, not sure if that will impact on their interviews as perhaps the fighters might not be so open if they saw top of the range lighting/sound following Kuggan.
Perhaps because usually watch their online content on the minimised screen and with a poor sound system, the Haye interview transferred much better online than on the TV last night.

Re: Matchroom Fight Pass
I would sign up for fight pass if there was anyway this could be on Sky EPG. Even if it was on demand only.
Re: Matchroom Fight Pass
the fight pass really is aimed at small hall shows which is fair enough I hope it works and gives these kind of fighters/shows some exposure.
for me though bocing at that level I tend to follow my local scene first and foremost and seeing as none of the local promoters to me are involved I'll use the £30 for a ticket to one of those shows instead.
As for Ifilm, sure I've seen them say on numerous times on twitter they will still be doing the show on fightpass as well as their show on allegedly, which I wasn't that impressed with to be honest. Don't think it crossed over to tv well at all just felt like I was watching a load of youtube clips stuck together. Not a fan maybe I'm a traditionalist but give me properly produced tv shows anyday. I hope its not instead of 'boxing matters' which (despite sometimes weeling out the dinasours who don't know or care about the current domestic scene) I quite like.
