Compared to Adam Smith, The Ronster is infinitely more bearable and sane.

Nah come on Coco. You know your boxing more than anyone - but he knows a fair bit!

They seem to often have him commentating on his own. That can be tough so no wonder he talks a lot. Also he does a lot of radio I think so Ron is used to being very descriptive

I like his commentary I now remember he’s been at it for years I remember him doing loads of random Olympic commentary

Out of the loop was the Cardiff show the end of the deal or is there more?

Good point. No announcement at weekend about any new or extended deal.

Deal was four events.

Azim pulled out in October -maybe they're obliged to make that one up? Idk

But if the BBC don't extend or renew them... I don't know where they'd go from there.

Can't see TNT taking them and they're possibly even toxic to broadcasters atm with that Sky "espionage" claim they're making in court.

DAZN don't seem interested either. Who does that leave, if anyone?

Do you know if Boxxer's DAZN deal was only for the BBC shows?

Don't think it was for shows (plural) at all was it?

Think it was a one off for whichever event that was. Was it the Dutch kid fighting on it? Think DAZN took that one but that was it.

There was no dazn logo on the Price event at weekend from what I remember.

Not many of us care for Boxxer do we.

Can’t latch on to Queensberry. That’s already got a latcher.

Who is the Queensberry latcher?

Is there a Matchroom latcher?

Maybe there can be like one official latcher for each promotion.

Spud. If you know this massive secret, why don't you just tell us what it is? You won't face any legal action and it would prove how awesome you are.

Despite the fact I’ve been to about 20 Matchroom shows in the last few years and no Queensbury?
