SKY takes the P**S

[mrboxer]

sky knows their announcers are very dull and boring that is why they try to eliminate them from the broadcast as much as possible,i am tuned in to watch the fight i do not want to see any clowning of boxers entering the ring and i do not want to listen to any interview before or after fight interview of any boxer

To be honest I really hate SKY,it's just unfortunate they have a monopoly over some things.The guys lost it around 2003,they changed ever since that Murdock boy became the CEO (even though he's finally left).I actually cancelled my subscription back then because of that.They started treating boxing with contempt.Setanta were the saviours of boxing because they started showing all the Top Rank fights & most of the other fights.That was when SKY started showing more boxing again as a defensice strategy.Even ITV started showing more boxing.Now that Setanta's gone bust,ITV announced they wont be showing boxing next year and expect Sky to show very little boxing.The little they will show will either be delayed or they will be badly covered.

Not showing ring entrances and post fight interviews is short changing us.Back in the day they would even show fighters arriving at the arena,remember when Floyd was fighting Baldomir and the coverage was great.You would watch the guys hitting the pads and great interviews to get everyone hyped up.Now it's pathetic,they are more willing to show us their pathetic panel talking trash than showing us the goings on at the arena.

Check with football or rugby,they start broadcasting long before the match.They show interviews,guys training and then the match.They even show the teams arriving in their coaches.After the match everyone wants to know what the winners have to say and what the losers have to say.That's what sport is all about,it's an experience.Taking away those aspects makes the sport less enjoyable.

qft!

They didn't show the anthems either which is all part of the bigfight build up. Nobody wants to hear them talk ****e, they want to see what the fighters have to say. The worse thing is SSN showed Floyd Jr the very next morning, referring to The Pacman dodging his questions in the post-fight interview!!!!!! They still didn't show it then on SSN, so how the **** would the public know what Floyd was on about???!??!?!?!?!!?
