I think we only have ourselves to blame.

The game is so disorganised here, and everyone wants to the the big cheese with their show or their fighters on the tv. They dont care about the quality or about how it looks to the general public. No-one wants to answer to anyone else, so theres no coordination about what gets put on.

Sky Sports have no expertise and dont know whats good and whats not, they just put on what they're given, and what they are being given is often crap. While ever this is the situation they are not going to want to show it, never mind pay for it to be filmed.

Each programme starts off with a couple of crap 3 round novice fights that have no place on tv, or a "British Title" between 2 b class fighters and the public is told that this is top quality. People tune in to watch, see the quality and switch over to something else. I am strongly against 3 round fights being televised and believe that only A class bouts should be shown. The trouble is that promoters dont have the money to pay for a show that is all A class bouts, and the promoter usually runs a gym and wants his fighters to be shown.

Having said this, I do think that the Channel 5 programmes are getting good and credit should be given to Jacko Ali. The fights are getting better, and the production is improving as Malcolm the commentator starts to get to know the sport and his commentating is more knowledgable. Up to this we have either had a professional presenter who knows nothing about Muay Thai, or a Thai boxer who (all due respect to those who have done it like Sandy) are not professional commentators. Its ok having these as guest commentators but not as the main one.
