Was anyone else at the Bellahouston on Saturday for the MGM Scotland? I like to go to the small hall shows, I also had a couple of mates fighting on the bill so good to go and support them, but deary me - £40 for a ticket for what, with all due respect to all the fighters on the card, was a bit of a snoozefest. Can nearly justify that for the last one in Edinburgh, where Iain Butcher was fighting for what should have been the Commonwealth Title, but there wasn't anything near that level on Saturday. I'll be sticking to the Edinburgh shows from now on, at least the home fighters are up to something.
I wasn't at the last event but I've been to a couple of the MGM shows. One at Bellahouston was poor but one at Meadowbank was excellent small hall fayre. I had intended to go on Saturday but the forty quid and more worryingly boxrec had the vast majority of opponents listed as TBA as late as two days before the weigh in. Truthfully I'm not sure who updates boxrec but this is the thing that's putting me off their shows.......TBA?? My instinct is to support Scottish boxing but forty quid is forty quid.
