    I like it alot and I can see this doing well on free to air tv. Hopefully espn in the us can pick this up s o I can watch. What I like about it is that the fighters don't have to be from the host countries/cities so we can look forward to seeing some good international talent.

    this sounds entertaining and will help make boxers stay amateur for longer

    I could see BBC picking this up if cheap. More likely than pro boxing in my opinion unfortunately. They'll love the chance of following potential 2012 uk fighters for two years. Could be fun.

    However half arsed, they did cover world championships. I think tournament structure could get them covering this.
