    Any one know if there is any planned prizefighter events coming up. Quite enjoyed prizefighter format, more for action than the skillsets, so would be disappointed if they stopped this.

    If you could create a prizefighter tournament for any weight class but using fighters from the same weight class. Who would you have?

    Apologises if this has been done before.

    Think Hearn has said they're binning them off, no need like that

    Shame that, it's always gave an opportunity for someone to propell themselves into the limelight.

    That's doable and sensibly planned out so it'll never happen:lol:.

    Not entirely sure why they would bin the format off entirely- it can be entertaining if done correctly.

    It was a bit hit and miss.

    There were some real small hall classics, which were excellent entetainment but there were some real dogs as well.

    I think there was eventually overkill with too many shows and not enough quality.

    I think the format could still work, with maybe 4 shows a year, one a quarter.

    They cant really do them as it takes a date from Skys schedule and campared to other shows they can put on its not worth it. Hearn said that in an interview about a week ago.
