    Good to see someone with a ‘can do’ attitude and giving things a go.

    I’m all for it. I haven’t half missed the boxing (and this forum) if I’m honest. just hope the shows are decent.

    All boxing welcome although I have enjoyed many of the old fights shown on Sky during the lockdown.

    Man have I missed Jim Watt's commentary.

    That card the other night for UFC was outrageous. The Prelims was better than what Eddie normally puts on PPV.

    Spot on. All UFC cards are stacked, lucky to have a good main event with boxing these days unfortunately. To be honest though I’m at that stage where I’d be delighted to see Dave Allen vs Dorian Darch 2 at the min..

    Not a defence of Eddie or any other boxing promoter, if anything it’s a criticism of White and co but have you seen how much UFC fighters get paid? It’s scandalous. No wonder they can stack cards! That whole show the other night was around $2.7mil in purses. Try and get a world champion boxer to fight for that for himself.

    Well I hope it works out, I just want to see some boxing back on.

    It's not going to happen but I'd love it if they did a card with 4/5 area title level fights, all 50/50 matchups.

    Personally think this is a fantastic idea.

    Can’t see it working for huge fights but for smaller shows I think it could work. Whyte Povetkin is a good tester. Tbh I’d pay £25 to see that show right now.

    Mitchroom87 is the last poster I would have expected to be championing this.
