Thread: BDO World Darts - further evidence of sport ppv channels fucking it up for everyone

Now i don't watch the BDO darts world championship as i) quite frankly its Mickey Mouse darts next to the PDC. And ii) its shit

However this latest development is topical given the debate going on about Boxnation subscription and the fact fights will still be on Sky and Primetime too.

Look at following link. Next years World Championship will be split between BBC and ESPN subscription channel. BBC will have the weekend matches and the final whilst ESPN will have midweek games. This is one fucking tournament for god sake - madness I tell you ! Madness !

BBC Sport - BBC and ESPN will share coverage of BDO World Championships

Like i said I don't give a fuck about the tournament itself but yet further indications of where we are heading.

What next ? In five years time we will have footie matches where the first half is on Sky and the second half is on ITV......

What a crock of shit, BDO are a joke

touching on the comment of your's, Sky will have 1st half and the 2nd have will be PPV to generate more revenue!!

Dart's ppv it's all getting out of hand what sport's will we have that will not be ppv

Didn't they have a darts PPV match between the champions from the 2 matches and one of them retired due to heat exhaustion?

Andy Fordham v Phil Taylor that one - not ppv


The ppv was Barney v Taylor years ago

apparently temperatures can top 100 degrees under the tv cameras and lighting at the centre of the stage.

Not sure how much truth is in that but some of them do sweat like bastards up there

Peter Manley always used to look like he had just got out the shower when he was playing

Yes it is very tiring throwing those darts with the beer in the other hand.

jesus will you get with the times you fucking dumbass

darts is mainstream now - just check the crowds out for tournaments and premier league (10,000 at O2 last year)

and alcohol has been banned since 1989 when Jason Donovan still topped the charts so say something sensible eh

Darts is a sport as much as chess is.

Speaking of Chest






Oh you said chess
