    Just wondering what everyone thinks should be the next step for the Prizefighter series???

    I think they should consider a EUROPEAN (or even world!) prizefighter at Lightweight, middleweight or heavyweight.....


    Hype it up, get some decent up and comers or well known journeymen and let them tear it up......all on PPV of course :deal

    Knock it on the head and try something else.

    It is shite.

    Seconded. The novelty's worn off and it's like a seven-fight undercard now.

    Yeh, the light heavyweights were good but the standard last night was pretty poor 2bh!!! Maybe need 2 have a re-think about the format.

    I dunno, if Prizefighter was to get onto terrestial tv, I think it would take off. Also I don't think its a bad idea to add european fighters into the mix

    the problem is that because the boys are going for it so much we end up with a scrappy, messy brawl with lots of clinches which is shite to watch. They need to step up the level of boxers or get it to ****.

    It only works with heavy weights bashing the **** out of eachother. Unskilled brawlers like Martin Rogan

    I just think the whole concept is rubbish.

    Spend the money on something worthwhile, like getting decent opponents for youngsters instead of these Georgians, or that ****** who Alex Matvienko fought in Wigan.

    The first heavyweight one was interesting when they thought the best tactics were a quick stoppage. Since they realised it was better to hold back in the early heats it's been shite.
