No SKY post fight interviews AGAIN!

[timber]

:twisted::twisted: Instead of hearing Glenn McRory and Nelson waffle on, why not show what both Pacquao and Clottey had to say afterwards?
SKY have on a few occasions not shown post interviews.
Has anyone got any links please?

[robpalmer135]

yeh i dont get why they didnt show kellerman or the other geezer talking to them.

['Ben']

Yeah, I was waiting for that myself and you got to hear was a typical useless McCrory harp on about just how big a fight between Mayweather vs Pacquiao would be. Like nobody knows that? :patsch

I have a theory-Sky borrowed TR pictures

[chrisfinch]

I have a theory-Sky borrowed TR pictures

They didn't borrow the pictures-they paid for the Top Rank international feed, and just stuck their commentary over the top instead of whoever does it for TR.

No idea why they didn't take TR's interviews afterwards, but its up online now...

Presumably they just think everybody turns off and goes to bed once the fight is done.

:goodNice one for the link.

I was a bit disappointed by the decision not to show them, but just figured it was due to TR rights. I was falling asleep by that stage anyway..

When Jim and Ian were doing the prefight talk you could see their ugly mugs on the jumbo-tron screen thingy

[Cobbler]

Were there actually any interviews done apart from the HBO ones?

Sky are a fuckin disgrace , they show adverts between rounds there build up is shite and Jim Watt and Ian Darke are fuckin clowns especially Watt , i fuckin hate that that twat , Sky are shite i would of much much rather have heard the Showtime / Top Rank commentary TBH .

Showtime weren't involved at all. Was there even a commentary from Top Rank and who was doing it?

Agreed, Sky's coverage of boxing is shit. Darke is okay though, I used to like Jim Watt but I guess now that the novelty of the accent has worn off I can see he's not that good.

[thewinfella]

What the fuck is wrong with Darke? :twisted:

He's outdated mate , he's too familir of a voice now we need a new angle , Watt is a twat and thats the end of it , the whole commentary specially when watching British fighters is completley biased towards a) the British fighter or b) the fighter who is seen to be the favourite , too much slagging , too many judgemental predictions during the fight i.e. " these are the worst moments in Ricky's career " , or " John Duddy looks embarassing " there a pair of jokes . And Darke does comment a lot out of term about fighters .

Quick note to Sky , take heed of HBO commentary , JUST SAY WHAT YOU SEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They aint a charity mate, how do you think they fund the show which theyve spent money on?

[LFX]

I feel the reason Sky Sports shows live fights from the states so few and far between is because they have the added cost of having to fly Watt and Smith over to do the commentary to make it seem much more of a Sky production.

Setanta was happy to use the Top Rank feed with the Top Rank commentary and in all honesty I would prefer that over the drivel spouted by Jim Watt.

Well then fuck off and watch adverts and be happy with that , personally i like to hear whats going on in the corner and i couldnt give a fuck about Sky's profits , the corner advice and fighters reactions is a huge part of the show and we miss it for crap adverts of a fat bastard in the shower looking to hug some poor skinny fucker ......................

Of course its biased towards the British fighter; do you think people have tuned in to see some unknown foreigner? Facts are, Darke is the best we have and you're complaining about him being a "too familiar of a voice" - how long do you think the likes of Lampley and Merchant have been with HBO?

[Beeston Brawler]

I preferred Setanta's coverage of boxing, but who didn't?

It was a one-off luxury that won't come around for a long time - as it is, we'll still be asking the same questions and having the same complaints about Sky in ten years time.

HBO have a large team each bringing something different to the party , Lampley , Kellerman , Steward , Leterman , Lewis etc etc they bring a different dimention each and dont lavish undue praise on all the Americans , they say what they see , Mexican , British , American what ever they praise good boxing and dont critisise for no apparent reason other than the fact the guy in question is British and therefore has a God given right to win the fight and look awesome doing so if not its the end of the world .

Oh and then we have good old Darke & Watt , backed up by Nelson and McCrory with the odd cameo from Piper :lol::lol::lol: mate we need a make over its embarrasing .

WE NEED THE BUNCEY THATS WHAT WE NEED...:happy

[Dunky McCafferty]

What the fuck is wrong with Darke? :twisted:

Hes a fuckin football commentator, THATS whats wrong with him.

Get a real boxing man in to do the job, thats what I preach. Football commentators doing the boxing commentary like its a nice little earner on the side... Im not happy with that.

[griff]

Wasn't Darkie a BBC Radio Boxing commentator in the 80's?

[Charlie]

Agreed, Sky's coverage of boxing is shit. Darke is okay though, I used to like Jim Watt but I guess now that the novelty of the accent has worn off I can see he's not that good.

Darkes boxing knowledge is starting to wear a bit thin im baffled by some of the things he comes out with at times.

As for Jim Watt, that guy wants to just keep his mouth shit i've had serious dislike for the guy for some time now and thats purely down to the shit he comes out with during a fight, some of his scorecards are shocking too.

:deal
:lol: funny post and i agree whole heartedly.

Massiveley mate , Buncey and Colin Hart on the Sky team thats what we need !!!! :good
