    His talent doesn't deserve the money he is making but who else should get the money if a fight he has generates $500 000

    So SBW's next step can be like you avatar Ced and make money WWE style if your inferring the 'entertainment' type angle.

    I figure if he can do something that makes money and is donating to a good cause good on him. I wont be watching it and am not interested however got no problem with him doing it. I dont think it is a good thing for boxing however dont thibnk it is a bad thing If you had the power as a regulator would you ban SBW from fighting

    No Ced I wouldn't ban him and certainly didn't infer or state as such. I'm simply not one who get's excited by the next 'Ali'. As a boxing purist, do I agree with his involvement in boxing, hell no as it's just a entertainment circus masked as 'boxing'.

    $100,000 coming out his pocket. Fair to say I have my doubts.

    I am with you mate i dont get excited about his fights either didn't see his l;ast one wont be watching this one and only watched his first one out of curiosity saw then that he was never going to be a world beater, $100 000 out of his own pocket I have3 similar doubts but the fight as a whole will make a difference and his first 2 fights were involved in KO to drugs so he is making an effort at leats
