    A real shame we have to wait until Feb the 8th basically for a decent card, think promoters are missing decent opportunity here.

    Understand people are skint during Jan etc but even a next gen show would probably do better numbers than usual.

    There were barely any decent UK cards last year either, so no shock there.

    People are brassic and wont really spend money on a night out this early in to a year statistically

    Even a NEXTGEN card would properly lose Money

    I'm sure most fighters need to lose a bit of weight after Christmas....Whyte might need a bit more time.

    Jan has always been a quiet month on the boxing calender.

    2019 was the worst year for UK for a long, long time. Not surprised 2020 is off to a bad start.

    Mainly thanks to Hearn and Warren leaving us for the US.

    I guess we have been spoilt for so long this was inevitable.

    Sky need to grow some balls and get some other promotors involved. Big gap in the market now in UK boxing.

    They should televise MTK cards for a start.
