Boxing thread?

[neilp]

It makes me think the fight is going to be worse than I expected if they need this shit to jazz it up.

 

[Gareth88]

is this fight actually happening or are is tnt streaming a concert?

 

[McFlash]

A secret one….it was an undercard

Ah, I was hoping to get the undercard on BT Sports, or TNT as it'a now called but they only showed one bloody fight.
Then it looked like they were having technical problems before playing random shite like squash!

 

[talkshowhost86]

Another huge low for a sport that is mostly lows these days

All very embarrassing

 

[McFlash]

This is just the Saudi's waving their money around again and trying to make this seem like a massive event.
No fight needs a bloody opening ceremony ffs.

Your excellency, people are expecting the likes of Bon Jovi or Metallica for these kinds of events, not your random finds on soundcloud.

 

[Gareth88]

what a load of shite

I don't expect, or want, to see any music before a boxing match, the usual hype gets boring enough.
This is just everything that's wrong with...well, everything nowadays.

I actually think the production value for this is insane. It’s being used as a celebration to start riyad season. As much as i think this is a farce of a fight, you have to say the saudi’s have gone all out with production and bringing all the celebs from the sporting world over to watch this… but then again it shows how hollow everyone is in this world and money can buy anything… even multi millionaires and billionaires, which is a shame. If this were anywhere else in the world i would be applauding their ambition.

 

[Kuryakin]

These commentators must be bought by the Saudis as well. Constant praising.

 

[McFlash]

Sportswashing but so many people have lapped it up, probably for the price of a free trip, all expenses paid, along with a rather nice welcome pack including expensive gifts.
Sickening really.

 

[Gareth88]

boring content continues

 

[Kuryakin]

Ffs start it already.

Terrible pre-fight bullocks. I'm not paying for this but it's the type of thing that would turn me off paying if I knew it would occur. I think the wait times between fights in boxing can feel long enough as it is.

I don't care what Amir Khan thinks of Riyadh, I don't care if Rio is in the crowd, I don't care what the panel think of the stadium. I want to people in the ring fighting get on with it

 

[dvdhopeful]

Going to bed, can't be arsed with this bollocks, get on with it, couldn't give a shit about Eminem being in the crowd or what Amir Khan thinks......

 

[McFlash]

Did they just call this "A culture mega-event"?!
Twats.

Same. Couldn't give a shit about how many celebrities are there. It all feels like such a desperate yearning for acknowledgement to be honest.

 

[Kuryakin]

This is so embarassing for everyone involved.

 

[Cavehillspur]

Fuck this im cringing
