Comments Thread For: Sky Sports' Ringside Show is Coming To an End

[Slick_Rick]

As long as it stays as a web series, that fine, it has very little production so should be low cost to maintain.

You're saying that the only people who will miss Ringside are "Matchroom fanboys" (yet another cheap point scoring attempt against Kell Brook)

Why would that be when all boxers were allowed on the show?

Ringside could be great at times and a bit hit 'n' miss at others but I think all true boxing fans will miss it.

We know you aren't one of them. And once again, your salty agenda is clear to see.

Why the anger? Pipe down.


You're the guy who constantly pounds his chest claiming to be a real boxing fan then uses $$$ as a get out of jail free card when it suits you. Since, why would a real boxing fan care what a guy makes except he is a great fight/er and the two should be getting it on? Stevenson-Kovalev is an example of your thinking.

Edit: Have you ever heard genuine criticism on Ringside? I mean they had a go at belts, but an individual fighter? Watching that show doesn't make you a real fan. I like anything boxing, so yes I still watch/ed it despite the b1tching especially cuz I love their build ups, but for proper talk I'd rather listen to a podcast that is non-partisan due to it's nature of having no ties to anyone in the industry..............especially a financial one.

What does that have to do with anything I said? No ones angry except you because your fellow Pakistani native has embarrassed you and your country so you'll use any roundabout way to have cheap digs at the man you admit he's ducking as a way to take the heat off

Why would only "Matchroom fanboys" be upset that Ringside is finished? Yep another cheap shot at Khan's daddy, Kell Brook.

I can be a real boxing fan who wants to see big fights but I realise they can't just happen out of the blue unless the right money is available for both fighters. It's not a hard concept to grasp. Anything else?

Matchroom Cult fans are casuals who tweet Hearn telling how awesome he is and his cards hoping to get a retweet. Things like Bellew-Clev 2 on ppv ffs. Ringside is their chance of getting some knowledge and whom do they normally broadcast? You've guessed it right. It is a Twitter thing really. That's the context.

Again, bringing the background in something that has nothing to do with it. Obsessed much? I don't live in Pakistan, so..........

No, you use it as a get out of jail free card. Keep spinning. I'm not the only one who claims you do it.

But they talk about all boxing, not just Matchroom boxing.

They've had your precious hero on multiple times. I bet you weren't complaining then. You were probably Twatting away trying to get your love messages on.

You've really descended into a agenda driven mong over the past few months since you were embarrassed by your Queen.

The show has hit the skids in recent months.

1) Johnny Nelson is not, and never has been, funny; of late Smith and the other pundits have been acting like Nelson is some kind of expert gag man
2) Ed Robinson, creepily lurking in 'Ed's Corner' with his iPad glued to his hand (obviously tuned to this very website for his scoops, 80% of the time), is about as interesting as watching paint dry
3) Pundits are almost always from the same core crop that provide virtually no insight. I'm looking at you Spencer Oliver, Paul Smith and Jamie Moore
4) They got Dan Rafael on the blower too often to tell us stuff most of already knew. No-one should give this fat fck air-time

[Kilrain]

Johnny was horrendous with his lines at first but he clearly improved over time. He's now hosting the live events on his own without Adam Smith who is one of the creepiest men I've ever seen in my life and really doesn't know anything about boxing.

Yes, Nelson now helms shows on his own sometimes....and still manages to *** up virtually every sentence. Are you blind?

[CraigM]

I think its a massive shame.

But I think it may be the end of PPV boxing in UK as there won't be a big enough platform to advertise it on now which will be good

Although might be the end of time for my sky sports subscription

I think he's been better on Ringside over the years. Don't often watch whole Sky shows so I can't comment. He should be more on the pundit side than the presenter side, I agree.

That Sucks! I'm in the US but I watch it on youtube all the time. That is a great show, it is 100x better than HBO's Fight Game IMO

Everything is on the internet now, so a web platform would be better. Get on youtube!
