    Agreed. :good

    Look at Kell Brook and the company he keeps at Welter. Then look at his opponents since winning the belt...

    That's what we get when one of our own wins a title now: Pointless defences.

    Everything is in-house and it's rotten.

    It is great they are all doing well just now. However how many of the current lot with titles are genuine world champions??

    Surely the is the aim of the professional boxer is to make as much money as possible? If you feel you are being 'fleeced'; perhaps this sport is not for you, as it is probably the most capitalistic driven sport outside of Formula One.

    Whilst I don't agree with the PPV model generally, I have no issue in paying for fights and cards that merit it.

    Hearn is intent on building PPV fighters rather than fights which could well backfire on him in the long term.

    The reason Boxing remains a niche sport is because it distances itself from the general public by having 5 current world titles at stake (WBA Super/Regular, IBF, WBC and WBO).

    The more marketable and therefore profitable a fighter is largely benefits the commissions as they receive nice payday's from promoters.

    I always said you are the best fans, but because of your heart you sometimes become easy to take money from, there is no easier job than being promoter in UK!!!
    You are literally paying to watch sparring matches, and even that is questionable...dont know if JoJo or this dude are good enough to be sparring partners for best fighters :lol:
