    Scene it.

    Monthly show for prospects, no title fights or owt. Will be on Thursday nights and there'll be a cash bonus for " Fight of the Night"

    Simmons/Conquest is the first show.

    Sounds like a rip-off of Shobox really.

    Ideally some of the prospects would be on every show or at least every other show. Sounds like a really good idea tbf.

    More boxing is always a good thing. Fair play to them

    Nice idea having it on a Thursday night so it doesn't clash with anything Sky have on a Friday/Saturday.

    Just hope the matchmaking is good and not just Prospect v Latvian all the time.

    Well this is what has been needed for a pretty long time easiest thing in the world to do keep those prospects active get some fights on the board and every now and again match them against each other. An early loss to a fellow unbeaten prospect never hurt anyone.

    Does it really matter? Surely this is just a re-brand of their shitty Friday night cards in a gloomy run-down leisure centre in some ****ing Manchester backwater?

    Good idea & I hope its a success, well done Frank.

    Too many prospects only fight 4-5 times a year, this will hopefully keep them busier & get some exposure
