    Boxing is strange. A lot of my mates who are into the same sports as me find boxing boring. I subscribe to BoxNation and will watch literally any fight. If they would have watched Rios v Alvarado they would have loved it but too many 'boring' fights are stopping them watching any boxing. Some people will enjoy technical fights and some will only want to see wars

    There's been 29 prizefighters. That's just criminal.

    Assuming its a 3 hour show, thats 87 hours in total.

    Put those hours to proper use and you could stage some cracking domestic fights on a Friday night, even midweek

    I watched some of the Ultimate Fighters and absolutely loved them, would love to see a UK version for boxing shown on terrestrial TV. This would get more fans and lead to more broadcasters showing fights.

    Alternatively make Dana White the chairman of boxing.

    They could even just put on a batch of four-rounders with a good main event, trying to create fights showcasing prospects in good, all-action fights. Add a bonus for getting KO of the night (as voted by the TV audience) and see if that gets the blood pumping.

    Boring fights..? Tactical fights should not deter real boxing fans.

    You get 0-0 draws in football! That's football!

    People who don't understand boxing, are the only one's that get turned away by anything but a blood and guts affair.

    Does the PF shows not subsidise other shows in the way that the NOTW did for Sunday Mail or whatever?

    I think PF are that cheap to run and pull good numbers for what it is, and it allows Matchroom to spend on other shows a la Groves on the Wembley card.

    They need to make the breaks in between prizefighter shorter, they need to keep it one fight after another for the first 3 fights
