Buncey's podcast, well done Fury & Sky
Posted: 02 Oct 2015, 07:01
Do many of you on here listen to Buncey's weekly podcast on ESPN? It's really well worth a listen to, always get great guests on the show.
Wednesday's edition had Fury on talking about politics, Klitschko and Sky. I think Fury must be the first fighter with an upcoming Sky show (assuming they take the rescheduled fight) to stand up and speak out against them when he brought up the subject of the Brook fight and how Sky were still selling it as a PPV and how the British title AJ-Whyte fight should not be one either.
On the subject of Sky, who is to blame for their lack of boxing coverage included in the subscription? I don't think Matchroom or anybody else should have received exclusives to show uncompetitive events and then as soon as there's a competitive one it's PPV. From what I can see Adam Smith, as much as he might love the sport, has done a lot of damage to it in failing to influence the heads at Sky to invest and in failing to get more competitive non-PPV fights aired. I'd love to see him step down and see somebody else come in with a new strategy. Thank God for BN - for all the stick FW gets, without his channel we would be lost.
