Brian Magee wants the winner of Prizefighter

[Burnt-Norton]

Smigga, Magge has become a joke in my eyes by not fighting you, and then calling out the winner of prizefighter. I really hope you get your crack at him. Can't wait to see when you are out next, and against who

Yes, another 12 round thriller to look forward to ?

I liked the last two fights.

Really, well what can you say to that?

yeah probably, but in my eyes he has made a bit of a fanny out of himself in saying the fighter of prizefighter can fight for his euro belt, when there was a fight to be made with a legitimate challenger

[hurlock]

he's promoting the fight & is probably being rewarded for it.

i wouldnt say he is scared of smith & vice versa, smith wouldnt budge on less then 50/50 for buisness purpose's, so six of one, or just buisness.

it still don't look good though.

Anyone calling out the winner of Prizefodder is in need of a serious reality check. Magee needs a holiday to get his head straight.

Have you ever heard of Publicity. From what i read magee didnt want the smigga fight due to a certain promoter wanting a 5 fight tie up of the winner, allegedly.
Magee sorely wanted Smiggas WBA 4 rank.

[dondada]

Just to clarify on this issue...no quote from BRIAN Magee - it was his manager Pat who made the daft suggestion.

Secondly, re Magee v Smith - I understand that the major sticking point was that Magee didn't want to sign a FIVE fight option deal with Al Legedly. He was prepared to fight Smigga in a one off.

I'm sure both men would love to square off asap but 'the business' has got in the way again.

Smigga isn't even ranked in the top 15 of the WBA.

Absolutely, I think it is ridiculous for anyone to suggest anyone "ducked" anyone. Magee has proven that he will fight anyone, anywhere at anytime..... well, excluding Brian Barbosa that is (long long time ago).

Having said that, I actually find it more concerning for MAGEE's future that it is his manager who has made this daft suggestion. Whats happend to all these "options" they talked about when the talks were stalling. Surely it is evidence that the manager cannot get Magee a meaningful fight is he is actually calling out the Prizefighter winner. It should be the other way about.

With the Super 6 using up, and highlighting the limitations, of now 7 of the leading Super Middleweight contenders/champions - Magee should be in a prime position to get some meaningful fights. He is a good EBU level fighter who wouldn't look an idiot at world level.

WBO or whatever he was ranked 4 at.

But he was there in the ring with the finalists last night, hardly like he didn't have anything to do with it

I think Brian is with Matchroom, no? I might be wrong. I'm sure it was just a bit of PR that got the wrong kind of attention. All I'm saying is that people are saying Brian himself made this offer and he didn't.

I am certainly not as informed as many of the posters on here, but here it is from a boxing fan's perspective, someone with no affiliation to anyone involved in boxing:

Fight went to purse bids, Magee pulls out on same day they are due.
Smith left wondering why
Magee calls out the winner of prizefighter
People such as myself left scratching their heads.

Now 5 fight tie ups, and promotor issues, i am not so hot on these things, and if i have said anything that has been out of order about Magee in terms of dodging then appoligies.

But it does not take away the fact that Magee was due to fight Smith, pulls out, and offer it to the winner of prizefighter. I am sorry, but to me that is wrong. It looks like a dodge. If it ain't then fair play. But why can't someone be honest and tell us what the issue is.

By the way if Magee's manager is giving him this advice, he is CRAAAAAAZY

[stujones]

I'm going to be careful what I type - but am I correct in saying in mandated fights (purse bids) at world title level that means no promoter options. I can remember team Haye being delighted when the Mormeck fight went to purse bids - cause he knew he wouldn't be under the clutches of King.

A question here.... is it the same at British level?

mate magee would fight smigga tonight if it wasnt for the offer on the table.

You seem to think its a straight forward choice of fight me - pay me. Of course we all know that boxing is one of the most political sports alive.
Political - as in too many outside forces trying to come together to get a compromise.

To the layman it should be that simple, but i realise that it is not, which is what i was putting across in my last post.
I am telling it how it is from a FAN'S point of view.

of course there, but we aren't talking about them. Educate me as to why you think this fight did not go ahead ted

Yes Stu in any purse bid situation there is no tie in with the promoter who wins the bid, it is just for that fight.

Exactly mate. Which still leaves the reason why Magee pulled out an hour before the purse bids were opened, a mystery
