[neil hibbert]

i know the contender did it a while ago but what would people think if another one was set up, do you think it would be a good idea? been speaking to a few people an there could possibly be something sorted out but id just like to know peoples thoughts on this, thanks

[neil hibbert]

any input would be appreciated

[leforge]

There going to be international fighters in prizefighter going forward I think. This could work who would promote it.

[neil hibbert]

well im jus in the midle of speaking to a few people and if i get a lot of positive feedback it gives me something to show because it would need tv backing for it to come off but had a few conversations with people i know through boxing here and in america and its posotive so far.

[neil hibbert]

if you think it would be a good idea and if u have any input over it, that would be welcome

[caffrey]

I THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA. WITH TV BACKING AND GOOD PROMOTION A CARD LIKE THIS HAS GOT THE POTENTIAL TO ATTRACT CASUAL BOXING FANS.AS long as the bouts are well matched

[alexpaterson]

Good idea it must do wonders to a guys confidence to have McGuigan or SRL complementing you and its a chance to put your name out there

[neil hibbert]

any more ideas people? the wheels are in motion, long way to go but gotta start somewhere

The only way these things really work is if a decent US promoter puts up a team against a decent UK promoter. Usually these things end up being UK prospects v American hand-picked opposition. But the key is having two teams coming to win. But I'm for it whatever, the investment of a promoter even bothering to get US opposition in would be a good thing.

Things like this are always a good idea - look how much the public has taken to the Prizefighter idea.

I think it would work well if you had at least one semi-big name on both sides. Say a Tyson Fury from the UK, the general public really need to know at least one fighters name to tune in - same probably goes for getting TV coverage.

There are a lot of Hayemaker boxers who havent been on any shows recently and obviously they don't have TV sorted - maybe Adam Booth would be willing to let someone like George Groves, David Price or even Ryan Rhodes fight on a card like this.
