I just hope that us the fans can interact with Adam Smith on a personal level on what fights we want to see. A bit like we did with Steve Bunce when Setanta showed nearly all the boxing. I still can't beleive that we can't watch Lopez v Marquez in the UK on tv its a huge fight. Hopefully Smith will push for Williams v Martinez and Marquez v Katsidis to be shown.
He agrees the strategy, signs the cheques and reports to the Murdoch's. But Smith will be in charge of what fights they want and doing the negotiations.
I doubt he speaks to Murdoch. Francis said in BM he meets with the promoters personally. I think its more likley both will be invovled in negotiations. Things are not as simple as we like to think.
He has a twitter page and email. add him and bombard him. This content is protected http://twitter.com/#!/adamsmithboxing
Well that's even better news. Still, I'd be amazed (and pleased) if he knows more than Smith. And if he does know what's going on, Smith can't be too bad of an appointment then.
That was a complete puff piece of corporate wank. Terrible article which showed he's completely disinterested in the sport.
would Smith have to be a tough negotiator?? Sky is the only game in town. For a UK promoter or US guys, they either do what Smith and Francis want or they are ****ed.
No, I just recognise someone who says the right things without any real detail behind them. Just interpretations. And I know the guy.
