Just in case you weren't aware, a website has been created to try and bring Bunce and Andy Kerr back to TV - Bring Back Bunce

With the collapse of the Setanta TV network in June 2009, the much beloved Steve Bunce’s Boxing Hour, a weekly staple for diehard fans of the noble art, was taken off air. Bringbackbunce.net is the hub of a campaign, coordinated by the fanbase across the online boxing communities and social networking groups, to lobby broadcasters to pick up our beloved show and return hosts Steve Bunce and Andy Kerr to our television screens.

Join us by signing the online petition, posting your support here and joining our facebook group to demonstrate the collective influence of the online boxing community!

There have been testaments made so far by Don King, George Groves, Choi Tseveenpurev, Wayne Alexander and Micky Cantwell and many more are int he pipelines. The facebook group already has nearly 900 members.

Now I know not many people seem to like Bunce on here, but we, as boxing fans, deserve a regular TV news show. I hope you at least take the time to have a look at the site before you decide wether to support the campaign or not. Cheers.

Bunce does annoy the fuck out of me, but he's the only show we had so I want him back, ideally the show without Steve Bunce but I accept he has to play a part.

i love the show personally. i think boxings better off havin a character like steve bunce

If Buncey is listenin or lookin in here, I reckon he should get his ass onto settin up some internet channel. God damn I bet he has enough contacts and cash to get somethin like that up and runnin. Maybe he could then start hittin in to some online streamin of fights, why the hell not. Bunce TV or somethin. Lets get it rollin. Could be the only opportunity us brits get at havin regular doses of boxing.

Who knows. Internet streaming of fights is the way forward, just like setanta had it goin absolutely great towards the end of its life. great pic quality and reasonable monthly price. Get it sorted Buncey......

I reckon a podcast is probably the best hope.

I don't understand all the Bunce hate; surely you mus realise a lot of it is tongue-in-cheek?

**rowlesy** · 06-26-2009 06:37 AM

People take things way too seriously. He's opinionated, unlike those idiots on Sky, and obviously loves the sport. And its because of that show that alot of my mates who don't like boxing actually join in conversations about boxing and seem to want to know more about the great art.

Love him or hate him, he gets the boxing world in Britain more publicity than anyone else around at the moment.

just been talking to the webguy from that site via twitter and he said Steve's phone has been going non stop.

so i think its only a matter of time before another channel picks it up.

too be honest i think they would be mad not to... love him or hate him he promotes the sport of boxing and that is what we need.

i personally think Sky will pick it up... but would prob be better if itv2 or any of the other free channels got it because the more boxing is promoted the better it is for the sport and the fans

Bunce and his show wouldn't work on Sky.. They don't acknowledge the existence of any fighter or boxing match not taking place on Sky.

Would anyone happen to have any good to high quality footage of the bunce show. Any help or direction on this would be appreciated.

Cheers

**Saddo** · 06-26-2009 12:55 PM

not sure about quality but there is tons of show clips on youtube mate

**TheMacMagician** · 06-26-2009 01:41 PM

yeah, i'm after downloading them onto my computer. I found one through megaupload but the damn thing just keeps cuttin out half way through download. Is there any way atall to get the clips from youtube as files do you know?

**Saddo** · 06-26-2009 02:12 PM

KeepVid: Download and save any video from Youtube, Dailymotion, Metacafe, iFilm and more!

I like buncy he is load but at least he says what he thinks and doesnt pussy foot around things.

**Master** · 06-26-2009 03:41 PM

There are far better commentators than Buncy, he needs a proper straight man (Ian St John to his Jimmy Greaves) Buncy does talk utter crap most of the time.
