For starters, dickhead... Thompson is doing more than fine. In time, Oyewale will knock the Alphabet out of your reason for this post. Dont kiss butt you idiot!! Brendan Smith, Elias Nasser, Angelo Hyder and Co. involved with the likes of Vic, Kats and Green can't be travelling too badly. Khoder runs his own race.. makes a squillion, disappoints all except for self and pocket... Small promotions are popping up like welts on your tiny ****, all over the place. Bendigo- Ballarat, Griffiths- Gisbourne, Malvern- Fremantle.... Armatruda/Michael have been regular promoters in Melbourne, having been more than FINE with events, putting on 6 Promo's at the Docklands. RedCorner, along with ACE, place thenselves regularly on this site with promo's.. And very frequently. There's anothers story to be squashed.. Clarify this... What is 'FINE', by your standards??? If a World Class fighter is said to be given 'GATE RECIEPTS ONLY' as pay, under the contractual agreement of a bearded Khoder, with his own team agreeing to the stupidity... does that sound 'FINE'..?? Khoder takes all PPV.. Geale takes minimal gate. I'd like to know how factual this might be. The numbers of promotions nationally are high.. very high. Too often the Philo's, Thai's, Argie's and Indo's turn up for a cheap belting, make some entertaining viewing for P.J's, and leave the game in tatters.
You just gave me a list of every promoter in Australia. So you accredit a good promoter with the amount of shows he puts on. Most people look at the match ups/quality of cards. I see you don't mention that. Whatever floats your boat. Personally, I couldn't give two ****s how many shows a promoter puts on and where he does it if they are mostly rubbish cards. Funny too that you pan filo's and asian fighters as turning up for cheap beltings. Yet they are in hot demand from just about every promtoter here. If it's a blight, blame the promoter? he matches them dick wad. Due to the way "most" promoters want their cards matched nowadays, these filo's are saviours and have saved many shows. Omotosa has had 14 fights. 12 against thai's indo's or filo's. You aren't making much sense here are you. But you are cute when you are angry cup cake.
At the very least I'm sure it can be agreed he's better off in the hands of any Aussie promoter than toiling around Nigeria fighting farmers?
We shouldn't lose site of the fact that Oz fighters are pretty thin on the ground. We do need to import opponents. Even if the best fought the best, how many cards could you fill, & for how long? A lot of those imports get some pretty raw decisions don't forget. They come to fight, & fight they do. Just because they are imports doesn't make them pushovers. While thai's & argies are a bit suss, the Pinoys aren't. They are not all 40 year old knuckle draggers
I just realized Omotoso's next bout in Victoria on 11/27 is running up against another Aussie card in Queensland featuring Lee Sherrington vs. Shannan Taylor. Are they going to be competing for TV coverage? Do you ever get two networks broadcasting different fights simultaneously? :huh
Ahhhhhahahahahahahahahahahaha. We're lucky to get one channel broadcasting live fights. But there is a disclaimer, often on Friday nights on pay tv, Fox Sports will be showing a card (sometimes live) while at the same time on ESPN they are showing a FNF, often a few weeks old. Awesome that the whole week nothings on then bang, two at the same time. PPVs are shown on MainEvent whos motto is 'Never communicate with our paying customers', we pay anywhere from $30 (Showtime) to $50 (HBO & Mundine cards). Local fights are shown on Fox Sports, though late last year, One HD (A new Free to air digital channel) screened 4 (almost) live cards over 4 months on a Thursday night. Apparantly they are doing a show a month next year but we'll wait and see. Also SKY channel, a 24/7 horse racing channel do 1 hour of boxing a week, with KOTV (news show) and Canvas Classics, which is olf fights from the vault. CC used to be an hour but has been cut to 1/2, hopefully back in its original format next year. They also pick up the PPVs Main Event don't get, but only screen them in pubs etc as they have no facilities to sell to the home market.
The Sherrington-Taylor fight is on T.V IB..but on pay T.V. The Omotoso fight wont be on live anywhere..but it will likely be filmed and put on the fightfactory website for sale a few weeks later.
Loved that KO in the first video on this thread. Doubt if Zab Judah would get a laugh out of it - Kostya might though!
Taylor vs Sherrington will have the coverage for sure. Murray Thompson has 4 fights listed for the coming program. Needless to say, and without being a biast mongrel, the TeamOmotoso have many chances from here onward to dismantle any rating 'spectaculars' from Tassie etc. You think Mundine has a big year in front?? Get real!!!! O.O will be makin' spectacles of all in front of him. He's a gun!
as well as being an optometrist! Good to see he has a fall-back career if things don't turned out as planned
