I suspect TBA's are being lined up now. The similie post is a reflection of how I will be when I read it. See what I mean, you know damn well the cards will be underwhelming well in advance because we as fans expect so little. With money problems I expect all his cards to get worse because all the money (if any) will be on his fighters fee so opponents will be cheap unknown pushover jobs. Couple all the undercard of what I said with a 75/25 (billed as 50/50) fight main event with a name. If the 25 looks like he might win the 'cards' might need looking at :-( That is the future of Allegedly bills imho.
isnt bobby gunn now the 'world' bare knuckle champion? i heard he was going to defend against james quinn mcdonagh from knuckle.
I think he is actually. Just seen it on google. I relate this to boxing as much as I do Jon Jones from UFC such is the difference. But yeah you are right. World heavyweight barekuckle boxing champion whatever that is. I expect the real boys to be behind close doors pitting their wits 'Traveler' style.
A lot of people are looking at this thread but not daring to comment. I know several people who have the inside track on comments made here but won't speak up because its not worth the hassle.
It looks like a very bad situation all round. lets just hope the lads get paid before another company dissolves Also gotta hope matchroom are in for the long haul because with there cosy relationship with sky and a strong stable (assuming they pick up theslack left ) they could bring in a new era of boxing fans
Funny thing is if..."the company"...dissolves, you know Matchroom are going to pick the meat form the bones...
Compare Matchroom http://companycheck.co.uk/company/01630824 to you know who http://companycheck.co.uk/company/06867893 I know who I'd rather box for.
Excellent debate & valid points allround 'if' fighters havn't been paid all i can think is people on the inside track are being told to hold fire & money will be paid to the fighters concerned? It seems to me this could be the reason for all the recent cards being pulled.Remember Haye pulling out of the original fight with Klitschko due to a back injury back in the setanta days?Allegedly it was because they knew they wouldn't be paid due to setanta going belly up.We may be seeing history repeat itself here if it's true you really feel for the fighters concerned tough enough sport sacrifices etc. & then you allegedly don't get paid leaves a real sour taste.
Allegedly should be made to sit in a pool of his own **** wearing a Liverpool shirt with ''I love Andy Carroll'' on the back until he pays his fighters.
