Using boxers as promotional tools

Post by broomy7s »

Seems to happen far too often in boxing. Are we having the wool pulled over our eyes?

Joshua was pulled from the Rise up bill to be announced for Froch vs Groves bill.

Billy Joe Saunders announced to fight on the May 10th Liverpool card only to now be fighting on the Fury vs Chisora bill.

These just 2 recent examples. Best to wait till fight day to buy tickets these days. I understand injuries and niggles happen but really this often? Any thoughts?

Yes, I think it is. It's happening more than ever before. I think promoters are switching fights from one show to another without giving a friar tuck. In the past 24 hours I think Billy Joe Saunders' fight has switched from May to July. There may be valid reasons for many changes but I think its happening more than it used to.

Hearns will always give a refund if it's due to fighter pull out. I got one for Liverpool no problems
