And DeGale's weren't much better, fighting people with decent sounding records but not much pedigree. Then when he eventually won, after losing concentration and struggling in the mid-rounds, you'd get Al Bernstein spunking himself about the high quality DeGale's performances.
If Channel 5 have any sense, they'll focus on smaller hall domestic or European level fights. They don't have the budget to make big fights, pure and simple. But what's wrong with watching hungry young fighters working their way up the rankings? I'd rather see two young boxers fighting for a British title they both want, rather than some one-sided fight by Fury who then comes out and boasts that he can beat anybody.
I've enjoyed the recent Galahad fights, and the Maxinutrion thingy tournament has presented decent scraps for the most part. Why not show more of those sort of fights, rather than Tyson Fury?
And for fucks sake, televise more Lenny Daws fights.

.... talking of that. Did anyone see that news article about some guy that's supposedly suing them as he tried shagging one and apparantly burnt his schlong?
But the guy also has a big heart too - and in this game that's made him shoot himself in the foot on a few occasions and also others have used and abused him.
He could do with a partner who is an absolute rottweiler on the business side of things. Because Mick is a decent fella and has a few relationships that other promoter's would kill for.

That will be all the cholesterol. Na in all seriousness, you make a good point.

I'd go with that as well GOmez; from the outside it looks like he is friends with too many people and they end up taking advantage or bailing for better things after he's put his balls in the fire.
