The BBC Boxing deserves a place back at the Saturday night table, collaborating with Boxxer to stream battles for the BBC IPlayer and encourage them in the old old free TV. Correct – you won’t have to pay £ 20 for PPV to watch a potential customer who is an exaggerated Latvian. For the time being.
This is not just the main fight. They will conquer some sub -cards in battles, behind the scenes and some filler features throughout the BBC Sport site and app. Sounds nice, but most of us only want a decent battle without a three -hour preamble and a half -time assembly that looks like them made for six nations.
The BBC says boxing back, but is anyone caring?
Alex Kajs-Jelski from BBC Sport is even leaving himself behind, talking about the boxing to “the latest audiences” and giving them the “next generation” fighters. “The next generation” is great and everything, but if the waste of the match, no one will stand around the third round. This sport needs blood, drama and real competition-not just a shiny set and before the fighting panel.
Shalom promises “the biggest possible audience” – yes, we’ve already heard it
Boxxer boss Ben Shalom calls it “historic” and says they will bring the most “entertaining” fighters to the biggest audience. Translation: They will try to create stars, too soon risking. Hopefully this means a real 50/50 fight, not another unmatched kid against the cab driver with six consecutive losses.
It could be a victory for fans… If they don’t fill it with a secure match and a padded record. The BBC has got a platform, Boxxer’s Got The Fighters – now let’s see if they have got the guts to make the battles worth watching. Or will it be another overproduct on Saturday night snooozefest?
