Ok, what would you do....?

I wouldn't have promoters under contract, for starters.

I would make them compete for TV dates.

Ban Commonwealth title fights, improve the standard of British title fights - some have been lame lately.

 

Hatton-Witter (although the shine has gone off over the last few months!!).

 

Id get em to show most of the big fights from thea states FOR FREE like they used to.

 

I wouldnt allow a pay per view undercard with 3 Olympians on instead of established fighters thats for certain! Come to think of it I wouldnt allow Promoters to put fighters on PPV unless it was a meaningful fight. I agree with Beeston Brawler who said he wouldnt have promoters signed and would make them compete for tv dates too.

Of course have a magazine show (Bunce hour) and not restrict my "experts" to arse licking the Sky fighters, id want an honest show, get rid of Smith, Dave Clarke and bring in Dempsey, Kerr instead. Id get rid of Jim Watt as well, hes slipping on the commentary front these days, not that he was that good anyway. Id bring in Duke McKenzie, just for his ability to tell you when a fighters legs have gone

Ok rant over, sorry about that lads!

 

You must work for Sky , do you ??? This is exactly the kind of fight i don't want to see.

 

I would make sure that if viewers pay £15 for a ppv event that they actually get to see the entire card and not save half the bill for the weekend after. When I say a show is supposed to go on til 1pm I will not cut it off at 12.15 plus I would sack twats like Jonny Nelson - no room for racism in tv.

 

What did Johnny Nelson do mate? I must of missed it.

 

id demand a bung from all the promoters

 

He seems a nice guy but also a secret racist, kinda like boxings Carol Thatcher.

 

He does seem the type to be a secret race hate religious crazed preacher bloke on the quiet like ;D

 

Read his book..... in reference to the Corrie Sanders fight....

''Most of them were hoping I'd bust his white ass''

Not a blatantly racist statement.... but some his scorecards are strange.

Paul Williams 116 - 112 Carlos Quintana in the first fight :nut

More like the opposite pal!

 

Bring back Bunce's Boxing Hour
Have a HW tournament (Williams, Chisora, Fury, Harrison, Sexton, Rogan)
Hatton v Khan
Start a 24/7 style show leading up to fights by show on Sky 1 (to attract mainstream interest)
Sign up the Geordie cubans

 

DOMESTIC.
mitchell vs burns
rogan vs williams
fury vs chisora
cleverly vs woods
rhodes vs small
maccarinelli vs hide
witter vs mcloskey
murray vs thaxton
barker vs macklin
alex arthur vs gavin rees?

 

definitely.

give the promoters an incentive to work together to make the best british fights.

at the moment there contracted and therefore keep everything in house. :bart
