What is happening today? are they going to show the full press conference because when it was on live on setanta sports news it was cut off when barrett started swearing, just as he was saying some interesting things (hayemaker want a rematch clause and how they have been treating barrett - "shitty hotel" as barrett has been saying).

Plus Andy Kerr was the one presenting the press conference so who is on the boxing hour with bunce today? dempsey?

According to the website:

Steve Bunce's Boxing Hour
Murray Dron and Alex Hyndman provide a review of the weekend's Calzaghe V Jones Jr showdown and look ahead to David Haye's first Heavyweight fight. Plus an update on all the latest boxing news

Bunce is 'sick'

TBH i don't think he's sick. Haye flattened him shortly after he and Bunce stopped filming that atrocious preview program.

Dempsey and Kerr have had me in stitches. Unintentionally.

First, when asked about whether Haye losing would be a disaster, Dempsey goes "I don't along at all with disaster, but it would be a catastrophe". lol.

And at end, when you could tell they were flagging trying to fill up time, Kerr says "make sure not to tune in...er not to tune away".

Dempsey's usually the one in Kerr's position so right from the outset I knew there would be some slip-ups.

Haha that was class, Kerr seemed to have that "Ermm ooookkk" type look after that.

As much as i love a bit of buncey he does do my head in sometimes, he's full of so much bullshit its unreal. He could hype up Ready salted vs Cheese & Onion

'they only give me £30 for food'...you mean he's broke??..when the 30 quid runs out he has to starve??...fook him...he agreed the fight, only thing he has to complain about is if he isnt getting paid what he was supposed to...
meals, hotels...please..
if he dont like the hotel..move to another...he can afford it...
if 30 pounds aint enough to spend on food...then go to the hole in the wall and take out a 20...

fooks sake..

He's come to lose, like that loser Thompson did against Wlad last time and this is part of the excuse making for it.

They were showing it before the boxing hour until barrett started complaining about everything, he used a few curse words, but that didn't stop sky showing hatton's when fighting mayweather.

andy not asking the questions to the promtors - ie the 2for 1 tickets why????

surely those sort of questions would promote the event rather than dis it

Lol @ that geordie amateur on the phone (can't remember his name, Olympic medallist). On winning North East Sports Personality, "I was surprised I didn't think I had much of a personality".

11-13-2008, 06:02 PM

They should get better subs for when Buncey is hungover...felt like I was watching Setanta News.

Kerminator shoudve plugged the 2 for 1 offer more i reckon, though Dempsey done well answering the questions instead of saying them.

From that interview Barretts come to lose, even when asked if confident about saturday he simply answered "I love my job"

Bunce

11-14-2008, 04:01 AM

Monte is in the same hotel that David stayed in before the Enzo fight. All fighters and their entourages have meal allowances - the 30 quid is cool.
I'm back tonight at 6.

Adios.

Last time I went into McD's a large Big Mac meal was about £3.50, the apple pies or McFlurry about an extra £1 - why the complaints?

Can even get a large meal from Subway for about £6!

Good old Andy asked him the same question twice or at least Barret had just predicted what would happen. So when Kerr asked if confident he came out with that line to mix it up.

Hope your felling better by the weekend Buncey, you dont want to be missing the main event :D

Seemed like a bit of a panic on Setanta's part, "Buncies got the shits and Kerr and Dempsey are down the O2! who we gonna get to do the show?"

......Enter 2 rabbits in the headlights with orders to "have a five minute read through the history of boxing and wing it as best you can"

Didn't turn out too bad considering, at least that guy's earpiece was working as he stopped referring to Froch as Frock half way through!

Beeston Brawler

I thought they were awful.

They just kept reading out email after email with questions about who would beat who etc etc, and just said erm..... we will ask Paul and Andy about that one.

Whilst Kerr is a good presenter, and funny to boot, he does strike me as being low on boxing knowledge (though he is improving) - that is where Dempsey has his number.

Paul is also able to build up to a big fight whereas Andy sort of limps through, to a degree.

It was a poor show but to be fair to the stand-ins they did their best. If you dont have now boxing knowledge then what can they do?

Plus from what they showed of the press conference the Promotion has generally been shit. David Haye should concentrate on boxing first and foremost. He should have stuck with ****** until he got a title shot and then leave him. He is no De La Hoya! Oscar made his name first by being a successful fighter then as he nears the end of his career he used his clout to get into Promoting. I mean look at the guys stable and team, Richard Shafer is a marketing genius and he has BHOP, Mosley and crew backing him up. De La Hoya has the charm and gift of the gab. Who has Haye got?? Booth?? Comon now this guy isnt exactly known in World boxing is he, he hasnt got a clue. I think Haye is a bit too arrogant and self absorbed to win over and convince the masses.

Beeston Brawler

11-14-2008, 10:50 AM

Adam Booth does come across as a bit of a dickhead, after all he is only a trainer, and how many fighters does he actually work with?

One?

To be fair to Haye, I see his point. He does the training and takes punches for a living, so why should some bloodsucking leech (in this instance ******) take anything from his career, having invested nothing?

OK - he paid Haye to fight Maccarinelli, but at that time Macca needed a big fight, people get sick of meaningless defences - and with a two belt champ a couple of hours drive away, there was no reason for it not to happen.

If a promoter signs a kid and is there when he earns £5k a fight and helps pay his bills - then he is entitled to a bit of loyalty, but not in that instance.
