No that seems like you mocking the disabled.
I'm not mocking the disabled. I'm mocking that statement.

Don't say that. Hearn might decide to make it a PPV at the last minute. :lol:

Thank God for the casuals, the sport would have been banned a long time ago if it wasn't for all those old grannies who loved our Enery and Big Frank. :box:

As somebody on here said, before the internet, Promoters could get away with saying almost anything.

I voted 'Neutral'

Sky have effected the sport more indirectly than Matchroom by allowing them the monopoly. Matchroom and Hearn may get all the direct critics but realistically they are just the face of boxing on Sky.

Sky allowed them to be the face of boxing on their network and caused the downfall of other promotors, Hatton, Warren etc would have all loved the same deal but Matchroom got it and as long as Sky allow them to carry on then surely they need to take some of the responsibility/critics for what we get??

I used to love watching Ringside, Now it feels like i'm at a Anthony Joshua after dinner speaking event or something because they are pushing him into everyones faces so much.

I dont blame George Groves, I blame sky for letting Matchroom away with their nonsense

If Groves v Denis Douglin is competitive, then I fully blame George Groves.

Here's the winners for you. Cleverly, DeGale, Quigg, Smith, McDonnell, Joshua.
