Just looking at some of the fighters who will be fighting with MTK such Burnett, Murray and Flanagan. How far can MTK go? If they keep going could they get on television rather than Just MTK. They are making huge waves in British boxing right now. I attended the Newcastle show which was brilliant, good to see up and coming fighters. Maybe ITV or sky could pick these up?
Murray is surely very close to retirement and Flanagan has never been remotely popular. Remains to be seen but it's not really the strongest of stables even with those additions.
I understand what you mean but they are names amongst people in British boxing circles. A huge improvement on locally known prospects. Just think it shows they’re going in the right direction.
Don’t forget the likes of Fury, Saunders? Frampton, Beefy, Hughie, Edwards, Catteral, Pricey, Paddy Barnes and many more are signed with them. In reality they probably have the best UK stable!
Difficult to see where they can go? ITV dipped their toe in the water recently with the PBC fights, but no sign if that was the start of a longer engagement with boxing. BT Sport and Sky are spoken for. Channel 5 do the occasional Cyclone or Hennesy show but would they want to step it up?
Maybe? I believe even Hughie Fury on Hennesey shows do good numbers so why not if there is some decent talent?
Money talks. If they can put shows on that attract good viewing figures then I’m sure someone will jump at the chance to have them. Unlike PBC I don’t think they would be demanding mega money either, not at first anyway.
Just read an express article that said H Fury Sexton peaked at 2.9 million. Just shows the potential of having boxing on freeview for viewing figures.
Itsnlntrue notnthe strongest of stables but there appeal going forward could be they actually put them in competitive fights ?
They've tapped into the Kazakh market a fair bit too which - assuming GGG runs his promotional side well enough - could be a wise move.
They are also dipping in south africa quite a bit, it seems like it doesn't matter where they come from, mtk will be interested, Their fighters get alot of dates as well so its good for prospects. once you get big they will probably sign with the bigger promotions.
