Domestic heavyweight tournament

I don't think it is that far fetched. If Sky wanted to make it happen I think they could

 

exactly sky need to use there power a bit more.

 

Sky arn't interested in that side of it at domestic level, I get the impression they are just quite happy filling air time rather than getting into the "politics" of British boxing.

On one level, I don't blame them. Its a real can of worms to open for a TV Exec.

 

I actually think it is a great idea with Saturday boxing to have something like a tournament that makes sense to the man on the street.

 

No but they are easy to sell and if you say to the average football fan after the game we are having an 8 man tournament to find the best heavyweight in Britain I think they'd be interested.

EDIT: PPV would be a bad idea

 

Exactly the their the only company showing domestic boxing they can dictate their own terms , If their going to start showing boxing at 9pm on a saturday which is essentially primetime then they should demand better than mismatches , dodgy stoppages and fighter quitting on their stools while ahead .

 

not a worthwhile ppv, split it over a few week.

4 man elimination. do it in each division not including a single fighter that could fight for a world title in the next year.

Chisora-Sexton-Rogan-Fury
Nortan-Dolan-Askin-Dickinson
Bellew-Mcintosh-McEnzie-Dodson
Anderson-Quigley-DeGale-Groves
Murray-McEwan-Samuels-Saunders
Webb-Aaron-Hall-Small
Vassell-Hatton-Watson-Jennings (all manchester)
Daws-O'Donnell-Wright-Gavin
McAllister-Limond-Watson-Arthur
Skykes-Morris-Foster-Johanesson
Lindsay-Simson-Smith-Choi
Quigg-Marsh-Hughes-Arthur
McDonnell-Hall-Davies-Napa
Broadhurst-Sexton-Edwards-Bayaar

 

Have the two elimination fights on the same card so people get a look at the fighters involved and get people excited .

 

not sure if you could do it due to different promoters.

Chisora-Sexton-Rogan-Fury (Warren)
Nortan-Dolan-Askin-Dickinson (Hattons)
