So Jim Rosenthal is going to co-commentate on Box Nation....no that's not the news that, I quote "will shock the world" - no that's going to be made on Monday. Apparently it's the other person that's one of the announcements...... Any ideas?

where did you get your information from?
I havent got a clue, it cant be him announcing a fight because then "shocking the world" would be a bit of an over statement
unless Brook is fighting Mayweather maybe
although that still isnt really in the realms of shocking the world

;D:o4 da latest news, hit me up :o;D
How can a presenter announcement "shock the world" ...it must be a big name former boxer because they have already stated their team - Jim Rosenthal, Paul Dempsey as presenters, Bunce and Rawling on commentary.
So which boxer would "shock" us?
remaining a free channel would have been slightly shocking :mad:
Word on the street is that it's Takaloo
Just quoting what FW just said on Talksport - he said one massive announcement is the co-commentator..... all a bit unclear as usual but interview will be downloadable on there later no doubt.Quote:

Is this going to mean I now just read reports of fights after they have happened and hope they are still on youtube the morning after.
The death of the casual fan is certainly upon us - but what more ?
gona be paying an extra tenner a month to watch fights that were going to be on sky anyway.
I'm not happy about paying another tenner per month, however, the line-up and content advertised for the first couple of months is very impressive. Don't see how any boxing fan could think otherwise. And at least that's on the freemens.
Tyson doesn't even follow modern boxing. He would a be toilet co-commentator. Plus he tried to throw Frank Warren out a window last they met (;D).
Lennox Lewis, Sugar Ray Leonard.. who has worked in TV before?
Roy Jones?
Does he still work for HBO?
Do you know if sky have any upcoming boxing now Warrens left? Im thinking about cancelling sky sports because the Froch fight is off and that was the only fight coming up. I know we have prizefighter but thats it.Quote:

Agree re Tyson and comments re Box Nation and that first couple months look quality....however, call me a cynic but isn't this the bait being lobbed in on a barbed hook for then, once caught, all the shite kick boxing and mma tripe (no offence to people who follow) that will follow??...still skeptical!Quote:

Haye is going to Warren with Groves and leaving the Hayemaker business behind.
Man - needs putting down! He is what the 'Mute' button was invented for!!!Quote:

Im gutted FW has chosen this route for his fighters, if we arent paying enough money to Sky as it is, he sets up his own channel and charges £10 a month. gonna miss the Cleverly fight for starters.
It says it's gonna be free until the end of the year so maybe we'll get the Cleverly fight free??Quote:

well thats good news i suppose. Gutted that future Warren cards will be pay only though, up to the other promoters out there to pick up his mantle i think.
When will it be on virgin and what channel.
Richard Fu****g Keys anchoring on BoxNation!!! Tell me that wasnt the world shocking announcement FW was talking bout last week.....if it is then that brings sarcasm to a new low!! Next they'll be telling me his t!t of a sidekick Andy "I'm the best the world has ever seen" Gray will be in there too! Not being ageist but average age of presenters gonna be 50+......a keen lively name needed surely!
I don't understand this at all; and I can't stand Richard Keys.
I did read (was it on this thread, I'm on my phone so too much of a hassle to check) that Jim Rosenthal was doing co-commentary and I thought that that must have been a mistake, as I'd just assumed he'd be presenting. Co-commentary jobs are, obviously usually, given to ex-fighters and I suppose Boxnation might need two presenters, but I can't see the hairy oaf coming as a secondary.
Hilarious.
I stopped listening to Talksport since he took ovet that 10 till 1 slot. Boring as fuck.
Yep - totally agree! I can't stand the hairy idiot....so far up his own arse and I have no idea why! Thought we'd seen the last of the prick...not happy!Quote:

FW is doing everything he can to make me not subscribe to this!....like he gives a shit about the odd me tho!Quote:

Has he sneaked out another announcement that nobody noticed, cause I'm not reading anything that's enough to equal a static shock, let alone enough to shock the world.
