buncey getting called a c**t live on air what do you think?

[milpool]

Those garish shirts aren't cheap, so he's sure to be on a few quid!

[Counter-puncher]

none of you are 'real boxing fans'

[jessi]

I don't see why his not on about 200k !
He works very hard unsociable hours and IMO deserves every penny he gets

[JimJim2009]

Do people really think Bunce mean that "we'll ring you back after the show" comment as being a threat to the guy or an attempt to look hard on TV ?

Really ??????

That seems like wish fulfillment to me, ie, I don't like Bunce so i'm going to interpret a throwaway comment in a particular way to confirm my view of him.

Bunce has got more screen time on live TV than 99.9% of presenters, pundits and actors, he could play the hard man anytime he wanted.

I watched the phone in live, and I've watched this particular clip a couple more times, and it doesn't seem to me that Bunce was trying to come across hard or threatening. He was clearly wrong-footed by the insult and was struggling to put some words together. I thought he handled it well.

And where does the money come from? I would have thought he gets a set fee for the various bits he does for papers and bookies etc. Simply not enough money at BN to start paying huge salaries to presenters.

[si7dog7]

always had a lot of time for Buncie
works hard and doing a job in something he loves, means it is all worth it I expect, and I hope he makes a comfortable living. He deserves to.

I don't know the guy personally, although he was good enough to have a chat with me many moons ago and was good value.

He handled the said situation as best as I think could be done, live on air. I didn't interpret any east end dillusions of grandeur.

However, the fact we are giving this any more exposure means that childish behaviour is sniggered at and/or applauded. Prank or no prank.

I doubt, Steve Bunce, allegedly or any other media outlet focussed on the sport we love would like us for it either.

Sorry, Meldrew rant over. On with boxing please.

[Bricks]

If he is on 200k he deserves every penny he's great entertainments even when he's being called a ccunt on tv.
He is one hard-working ccunt that's for sure.listen me and him had words but I like the guy knows his stuff puts in a shit

He has his fingers in alot of pies ! I think if you add it all up it must be close to 200k if not more

I know he gets about, but a column in Boxing Monthly and a weekly podcast in a bookies surely dont pay more than a couple of hundred pounds. BN will not be paying him anything like 4k a week either. if he is 50k, i would be impressed.

[Controversial]

He came on here a few years ago acting the online hardman swearing and insulting people behind the safety of his keyboard yet when someone does something similar on tv there he is back with "yeah anyone can swear".... and "me and barry will be giving u a call after we finish here at 4-5 in the morning" and he kept going on and on about it

What was his username on here, can you remember?

I agree he always puts in a shit.

Haha, I should have guessed that one !!!!

[rhino222]

looks like his fork is in as many pies as his fingers!....

[rhino222]

why did the live phone in not have a 5 sec delay like any other live phone in, then the insult could have been beeped.

If working very hard unsociable hours was all it took to earn 200K, Tesco would go bust overnight, literally.

all those bars and restuarants would go fucked too.

They get guys stacking the shelves for free now so Davie Cameron can spin the image of being the knight in shining slaying the evil dragon of the unemployed! Now there is a real c**t!

We're all in it together pal and the poor must work harder; for free if need be; to get the idleness out of their bones. If they worked harder they could have a lovely life.

You don't get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate - don king

[mickey1975]

He is not a Boxing Encyclopedia. Bob Mee is. Buncey is a front man who knows his stuff. He is not on 200k. I would put my life on that. Where do people think the money comes from?

[banjo]

If you're going to prank somebody you've got to be creative, anybody can call somebody a c*nt, it takes a genius to say "he hit that penalty harder than you hit Ulrika" to Stan Collymore on a phone in.

[Final round]

Pathetic schoolboy stuff really, Bunce handled it ok.

[palooka]

I like Bunce and he has bought himself a decent pair of shoes; a much better effort from him last night, looked much smarter
