    Waste of time?

    It's for charity, isn't it?

    He does a few of these doesn't he? Basically as long as you don't take the ****, Tim will carry you for a couple of rounds and nobody gets hurt.

    Charity or no ,i would find it a waste of time seeing a former fighter plod about the ring in with a opportunist whos looking to have bragging rights for the next few years. i would rather watch a formenr fighter talk about there career,mixed with stories and a few antidotes.

    Just my thoughts.

    Alba, would Witherspoon doing An Evening With followed by a Q&A make as much money though? If it made as much money for charity and Tim wasn't looking for too much money for it then yeah, I'd agree.

    ok put it into perspective,if its just him and his "opponent" fighting ,then they would have to hire the ring etc for just that one fight etc

    were as if its him discussing his career to date etc and doing the usual "an evening with" then a Exhibition its going to cost a lot as you would have to hire pa and visual equipment etc
