    This could replace the next gen concept. Have the prospects in these tournaments.

    I would like to some sort of contender series where the winner gets a contract with Matchroom. Similar to UFC's 'The Ultimate Fighter' where they all live in a big brother house and get plied with alcohol.

    Lovely idea but absolutely zero chance of this happening in the post Moneyweather era of boxing. The 0 is the only thing that seems to matter now, prospects will be protecting theirs and putting off the tough fights until they're either absolutely ready/ready as they can be or happy to cash out on their 0.

    Hunter should be seen as a fairly big deal but 1 defeat, on points, to arguably one of the greatest Cruisers of all time and he's not half as well rated as he should be, in my opinion. The 0 matters way too much than it ever should, it's such a shame as I don't think we'll see fighters like Ward, Gatti and Manny anymore.

    Naw, the ship has sailed. Eddie has his hands full. It was good whilst it lasted.

    I agree. I was a kid when I use to watch it but was the prize like £50k?

    If you believe in yourself and you’re a pro boxer <10 fights or so where 50k is still a lot you’ll snap their hand off and sign up..

    I dunno if there could be too much politics involved tho eg Frank fighters going on Sky
