Haye vs Chisora: Boxing Industry Fallout

They've got no chance of legally taking away anyone's license just for taking part in this. It's no different from 2 foreign boxers fighting over here, it has **** all to do with the board. I don't really think there's much need for anyone else to "jump ship", this is a pretty unique situation. The board might be pissed because they won't make any scratch out of it but that's there problem.

 

Agreed mate.

As much as the BBBC might not approve, there are no laws or rules being broken here.

 

From what Frank is saying in interviews, he's giving the impression he wants the BBBC to move forward the appeal, give The Chisel his licence and fight under the BBBC. Could he be using the LBF as leverage to force the BBBC to give The Chisel his licence back early?(They would eventually anyway).

Of course the BBBC can't really do that now as it will be blatantly obvious they are only doing it for the money and protecting their own interests. I want to see how many news organisations such as the Beeb actually to any research into who the LBF actually are and don't take their 1922 spiel.

I think that the further fracturing of the sport is an awful thing. Not saying the BBBC are always right but they do a good job on the whole.

 

Do they need a reason though? A boxer, trainer or promoter being granted a license is a privilege not a right, although they'd be stupid to ban Fwank for instance, as then every singe promoter would withdraw their licenses and use Luxembourg instead.

 

Should the BBBC be governed by the State,then certainly the State could intervene and disalow boxing,which appears to be under their exclusive jurisdiction.
Should the State decide that this event being held in England is illegal,then the fight will not happen.
That is the power the Government has and always shall have.This is far from a done deal,in my opinion.

 

been wondering this myself, surely the Board will hold a bit of a grudge over this and may be reluctant to put Fwank fighters in elimators for the british title (am i on the right lines here) and then what if Fwank sets his own sort of british title up, then it'll be like having 2 brit champs and then we all know where it goes from here

 

i think te ramifications would be minimal, if anything it just the board will be more accountable to promoters who could take their business elsewhere, worse case would be we get a situation when they are no beter than the WBC etc giving certain promoters fighters a leg-up for fear of losing that promoters business

 

im of a similar opinion as to what might happen

 

There's nothing illegal about it though, it's EU laws which Sauerland have used to stage fights in Germany before.

 

Frank ****** could take them to court, and they will get ****ed over. Who are they..? A bunch of smug wankers..? Michael Watson ****ed them over, and so will Frank ******.

 

Fair points, I guess there are still one or two issues left here. I just don't really see it concerning anyone else (trainers/promoters etc). The repercussions for anyone involved in boxing to really want to dig further into this would be too dangerous IMO.

 

I think its a sabre rattling tactic by Frank.

The BBBC will back down, and move the appeal dishing out what will be akin to a suspended sentence.
Yes its obviously a money related decision but that would be forgotten pretty soon, and they would have seen off the challenge.
This challenge is only a real threat for a fight of this hype.
