They are all scared of upsetting Sky .. even the BBBofC who seem weak beyond belief. None of the pundits will say anything and if they do they quickly change their tune. Everybody wants their bit from the gravy train supplied by Sky.
It's like an epidemic now. It stinks we all know what's going on taking the first opportunity to get the connected fighter the win. It's a disgrace to British boxing.
That plan works in theory, but not in reality. Too many corners these days are run by the fighter, not the trainer. Many of them are glorified groupies who are too worried about taking the blame from their fighter for pulling them out and missing future paydays. But on the subject of British refs... where are the new ones? I have a mate who only watches the odd fight here and there and even he knows all the same old faces who get every job... O'Connor, Foster, IJL, Davies.

I think the BBBoC are pretty much scared of all the promoters, either that or just doing whats best for their 'payroll' if you get me
