Upcoming Boxing Highlights on NutsTV

Watched Naz - Freddie Cruz last night

Naz's 14th fight

The gulf in talent, achievement and basic class between him and Khan is just astonishing

He was utterly dominant, and this was against a guy who had fought for the world title twice in the 2 years beforehand


Anyway - good work NutsTV

 

I've been watching quite a few of these fights and it's great to see all the old warrior's fights again. I would love to see some of the old american greats (Tyson, RJJ, Whittaker, Oscar) in some of their best match ups.

 

I wonder would it be possible for Nuts to acquire the rights to some of the best domestic British fights we've had in recent years.

Fights such as Jamie Moore v Michael Jones and Moore v Matthew Macklin.
Or possibly Graham Earl v Yuri Romanov.

Even fights like Froch v Brian Magee, Young Muttley v Kevin Anderson or Carl Johanneson v Billy Corcoran would be pretty good.

Or a fight showcasing technical brilliance such as Damaen Kelly v Simeone Maludrottu I.

I gather as these fights don't involve the very top names in British boxing(although Froch is pretty big) that the owner of the rights wouldn't be making any of those Hatton/Calzaghe style compilation vidoes and hence the rights would be cheap enough and the fights would be *******s.

I know the Fight Network occasionaly pick some great fights from the past(such as Billy Schwer v Colin Dunne).


Another idea would be to show some of the lower key cards in Britain which currently don't receive coverage. I'm not sure if it would be feasible for you to do this live but even a day or two delay for some small hall shows wouldn't be bad.


At the moment in Ireland we have a new promoter by the name of Tommy Egan who is getting cards on one of Ireland's terrestrial channels(TV3), perhaps you could look for the UK rights to these cards and you wouldn't even need your own cameras for the event then. TV3 isn't avilable in any part of the UK, so I'm sure some people(particularly those in Northern Ireland) would be pretty interested in seeing these cards.

http://www.boxrec.com/show_display.php?show_id=554429 that was Egan's first card and as you can see it was of decent enough quality. He has another date planned for next January I think, which could include Kenny Egan(who has been made a very good offer from Tommy to turn pro) and Wayne McCullough who has once again decided he's not finished yet and is looking to work with Egan.

Anyway there's just some ideas for you, which wouldn't take a massive budget either. Which I'm guessing Diaz v Katsidis and Marquez v Casamayor might.

 

Naz's greatest hits is on tomorrow night at 10pm.
