This Saturday's BT Card

Welcome back old bean.

Promoters working together? Not in this life because that would make far too much sense.

 

Biggest issue at the minute is getting licensed boxing venues with good capacities. Promoters will usually try to avoid but they are holding venues as soon as something becomes available.
The Benn card this weekend was supposed to be in London but Manchester arena become available so matchroom took it. It’s not smart running 7k tickets in a 20k arena but it’s all they could get hold of.

 

Yep - also you’ve probably already seen by they’ve booked Leach v Liam Davies for that card, and they’ve won the bids for Clarke v Heffron which would be a perfect fight for it.

 

Be a decent card that if it comes off

 

Once we begin to see the full effect of the recession that’s about to hit bigger than any in my lifetime, it could force promoters that we didn’t expect to work together to do so to sell enough tickets and PPVs to keep the lights on.

One potential bright spot to look out for in what is going to be a very bad time for many.

 

Dempsey's hair remains a work of art. He cuts it himself with a knife and fork.

 

Announce card, sell tickets on basis of that card. Then two of the better fights get postponed, card goes ahead. Fights now on the pride park card. Sell tickets.

 

Liam Davies certainly fills that criteria, he is against Leech qt Pride Park. Andrew Cain has the winner

 

Many boxing fans cannot afford PPVs and many like myself will simply not buy one under any circumstances.

Hopefully the recession brings down the purses of multi-millionaire puddings to more realistic levels.

Cross promotions badly required as fans are being served up pony cards.

 

Hi Jurgen you make excellent points but i must admit to purchasing the Spence v Ugas bout on Fite Tv and it was a cracker

 

Watched the fight and Spence does love the eye sockets

 

How much did they charge for that fight?

 

Let's be frank here Jurg, most can afford it but simply refuse to shell out anything north of 10 quid.

I for one (like yourself) won't spend a single penny on the CUNextTuesday. I find it fascinating that very few people don't have IPTV for these kind of things.

You pay 60 quid a year and you get to watch everything that there is to watch.

 

Just under £12 a lot better than paying £25 for Fury v Whyte and i won`t be getting that
