JOSH TAYLOR VS MIGUEL VAZQUEZ Channel 5 11th November 2017

[Fenster]

This is why I get a bit jarred by all the moaners and groaners on here about "boxing is shit these days" "terrestrial TV" "Benn and Eubank days" "PPV bollocks." Prime time Saturday night free TV yet not one of them will even give this fight a mention let alone watch it. In fact they won't even have a clue who Taylor is let alone Vazquez (they'll tell you all about Bellew and Haye ruining boxing though).

@Fenster I get what you are saying but has there been any promotion at all for this? I haven't seen a single advert on TV for it (granted I don't watch much TV so I may have just missed it) but Sky ram their cards down your throat for weeks and sometimes months before a fight, Channel 5 seem to just put the show on and hope a few people will watch it.

Well that's the point.

A boxing fan would know about the fight (how can you not when visiting a site like this everyday, even if you only found out last minute). So it's pretty fucking hollow complaining about "boxing is shit/dead these days," "everything is PPV" - the truth is you're not the fan you claim to be. That's all.

I could have said the same thing about any normal Saturday night show on Sky or BN/BT.

((I'm not just talking about people on here, in general. These cunts that do weekly boxing fan podcasts and whatnot are forever moaning and groaning (like Master but at least he watches the fights) about Sky and Eddie and whatnot but the cunts don't watch anything outside the Bellew's and AJ's and Haye's.))
