    History, and the fact it is just not pro boxing.

    Eight men, three round one night tournament fights, should be left to the amateurs...

    If people enjoy this sort of thing, then maybe they should stick to watching the amateurs, because that is what these tournaments are.

    Pro boxing is what it is. It is political, it does smells a bit fishy and it is 99% mismatches; but it is the greatest sport ever, and should not be ruined by this rubbish that SKY seems to produce ever month now.

    I like it, it's not always going to be a success...:yep The next Prizefighter has last nights to live up too...:yep

    It's getting some good TV exposure for the fighters and they are making a few quid along the way...:yep

    Hearn knows exactly what he is doing, his team have done a great job...:happy

    Prizefighter is the way
    forward in life
    I would prefer it to be over the course of a month and feature six, 8 and ten rounders
    I also would like it to feature 16 of the top 20 in each division
    that would be boss
    it would also sort the men from the boys

    Different strokes for different folks, Gaz:nono. Those who voted '****' aren't 'snobs', they just don't like the concept and format. By all accounts, those who watched last night's instalment (I wasn't one of the people who tuned in) enjoyed it. Good on them, but based on what I've seen during the few shows I've watched, Prizefighter is simply not for me.

    Who knows, after all of the positive comments made by those who watched last night, I might D/L a torrent and change my mind... or I might not:think.

    At the end of the day
    you have to look at what is good for boxing
    every prizefighter participant
    has seen their profile raise
    in light of their appearence
    you put a 16 man tounament on
    do the flys in jan
    superbantams feb
    feathers mar
    and so on
    and your going to have a great deal of activity
    within each division
    not involving journeyman
    it could change the way
    the game works
    in the uk
    forever

    Seriously guys
    this could be a great thing
    yours
    phil

    There's been a few duds along the way but I've enjoyed the prizefighter tournaments. Short fights suit me anyway, and because they're short the fights are usually fought at a very brisk pace with KO's being aggressively pursued, lasts nights tournament was perfect entertainment to me.
