    It'll be nice just to see a promoter do things right over here for once, I bet we good plenty of good fights and no dropouts or change of opponents last minute that's for sure :)

    They don't seem to know too much about the UK market. During the Khan v Mclusky promotion Oscar seemed to think Primetime was to Sky what Showtime is to HBO :patsch

    They can **** off. Don't want them here.

    Won't be long before they're bringing in their own British rankings, probably a title, and then deciding what PEDs are tested for each time they want.

    Frankie Gavin on twitter today said he's done two tests in two months three in four years as a pro his last year as an am he was tested twenty times ,is there any appetite at board/commission level to really clean up pro boxing looks to me like money talks more than a fighters safety

    Why are people complaining? Can't see any negatives about more boxing in the UK, especially when it could mean more exposure for our boxers in the States.

    I might be getting my hopes up here but could this move increase the chances of a real big name coming to fight here in England i.e. Marquez, Mayweather!

    Which only shows what little knowledge the internet has when it comes to boxing.

    Meh he's doing better than Hatton in the US. I give him credit since he seems to be the only U.K fighter willing to come to the US and fight our top fighters.
