If they were giving away tickets for Joshua v Wallin how many do you think they’d give away? Or even Wilder v Wallin. Surely the opponent...
I have never known anyone as thin skinned about a fighter as you are about Fury. As I’ve said before, your need to defend him at every point is...
Growing in what sense? Do you think if they were literally giving tickets away for a fight in Vegas that people would be crowing about popularity...
I meant it was disingenuous to compare food banks and homelessness with PPV boxing. As ever with PPV boxing, (as is the case with football...
That’s a slightly disingenuous comparison to be fair. You could compare sport across the board. The average ticket price to watch Man Utd at Old...
To be fair this has always happened. Your Hatton v Mayweather PPV should have been cheaper than it was if we base the cost of that against the...
I like the idea that your definition of popularity in boxing isn’t people actually paying to see you fight, but going on Russell Howard. As has...
It was a genuinely great fight. World title defence, evenly priced up before the start, champion dropped early, rallies to get back into...
Inflation. In the nineties a tenner would get you five or six pints. Today that would probably be about twenty five quid in fairness. I’m not...
But say your neighbour was telling you their broadband was rubbish. It cost twice as much as yours, kept dropping connection, and when it wasn’t...
A very poor effort. Froch should have been popular and ultimately was as the sold out fights at the O2/Wembley demonstrate. He had the style,...
We also have to remember who’s job is what here. What does good promotion look like? Your boxer becoming well known, earning great money, getting...
Froch moved to Hearn towards the end of the Super 6. The final was promoted in part by Matchroom and Carl left Hennessy just before the Johnson...
I’m not sure every heavyweight champion even went down never mind went down heavily. Vitali was never on the deck, and neither was Valuev. Oliver...
I understand that, but the point is a simple one; you can land fewer punches than your opponent and still win the round. Some will look at heavier...
