That wont work. All its going to do is stop casual fans joining. Surely they should get a better system. Anyone want to buy two tickets for Haye fight pm me?

£10 for two months if you subscribe for the Haye fight.

Casual fans wont subcribe before the 7th July. SO they have to pay 10 quid regestration fee this put lots off. It wont do the numbers they expecting.

A mate of mine goes bird watching and has been a few times with Bill Oddy; apparentley Bill always manages to spot some very rare bird that no one else has seen, it drives my mate mad.

Hmmm. Has your mate a treasure-trove of John Michael Johnson fights, though?

Specifically the vid of him knocking Augie Sanchez into next week?

I'd imagine they'll get a fair few taking up the offer.

They must be desparate for cash to do this.

I started subscribing a few months ago and really like it. Love Buncey as I've met him twice and he was a great guy both times and like his enthusiasm for the sport. They show good fights on a regular basis and I think anything that keeps boxing in the spotlight has to be applauded. I've never been the biggest fan of FW as his shows often tend to differ markedly from what is advertised when tickets go on sale but the channel is good value for money in my opinion.

Think you missed the point a bit Datsue ; I very much doubt that my mate has seen the bout but would put money on that Bill Oddy saw it though no one else has ;;-)

I'm a bit bored of seeing John Michael Johnson KO Augie Sanchez, I need to find some other great largely unkown KO clip to show all my mates.

Balls, that's annoying.. sorry mate.

Don't crow too much else you'll get caught in a little harmless fib.

Gotcha,I'll keep a lid on it...just after I've watched it one more time...KO's like that are like boxing crack.

If you watch it too often you'll be spoiled and get square eyes; I've a video of Harry Greb v Mickey Walker, but if you've seen it ....

Don't tell Datsue, he's self flagellating himself at the thought of it.

How likely is it that Maloney or hatton would sign to have there shows on the channel though?

boxing needs allegedly to survive or the sport will only be push back more as a minority sport and we can't let this happen. Is servicing the sport and giving the fans shows to watch. What even other say boxing is still one of the most watched sports and right fights will bring be numbers live and watching on tv or the net.

Would you like me to upload it to youtube?

Yes please; I've not seen it

Ok, I need to locate it first. I don't know if it's part of a KO compilation or something else. I've been through my retail DVDs and it's not on them (thought it was) so must be on something else. I might have to convert it from vob as I don't know if you can upload straight to YT to that.

No worries; I only want to see it as I've not. I'd never seven thought about it before. Take it easy.

Found it, it's on a KO compilation called 70 best Knockouts in boxing. It's heavily pixelated though as it's been converted to avi from dvd from vhs. I'll see if I can locate a better copy.

Glad I took out a subscription and I've certainly had my money's worth. One thing I'd like to know is if they're struggling with advertising revenue? The only adverts they have on there are for Boxing News, Debt Management, The TA's, and that advert for the shaver that works under water.

Cancelled my subscription last week, just didn't find myself watching it, I cannot watch the Haye-Chisora fight live so didn't see the point in continuing to pay for it.

The times I did watch it Bunce and some other overweight middle aged bloke were humping each others leg talking utter shite about nothing. Also the picture quality was like watching a bad internet stream.

A good concept badly done.

Haven't subscribed and I don't intend to even though I nearly wavered with the Haye - Chisora fight. I'm still in the belief that this channel will be bad for boxing in the long term due to marginilising it, boxers not getting enough exposure etc.

I hear the it's only a tenner a month argument but that's an extra tenner on top of all the other tv bills people have to pay. Sky and tv license already costs a fortune. BBC need to get their sh!t sorted and put some boxing on
