Does Rob Smith need to resign from BBBC?

[high tower 1]

I think so. He’ll never once hold his judges and refs to account. Always trotting out the same if “different views of the ring alter opinions”.

Time to go. We deserve better than this , and results like last night with wreck boxing here.

[ThereByTheGrace]

Makes no difference. Just get another guy in. The sport is baffling at times but thems the rules

[Dioufy]

He loves his job. Is incredibly thick skinned and arrogant.
The prick ain’t going no where.

[coneye]

Think if somehow he could be sacked it would shake a lot of them up ,, Think it really is time for a govt dept to take it over ,, because the biggest problem with this sorry state of affairs is the fact that no one is suprised by it ,, Angry , disapointed Yes , but suprised definetly not ,

The buck stops with him. Has to go.

[Boxerbeetle]

He’s clearly useless, refuses to make any big decisions or changes. May as well not have anyone at the top, for all the difference he’s making.

[milpool]

He needs to be calling out decisions like last night’s shocker for what it is instead of brushing everything off.
If he comes out and says that the scoring was unacceptable and it will be dealt with, fair play.
Alas, I don’t think we’ll get that and the long suffering fans and boxers on the wrong end of decisions will continue to suffer.

If he fails to condemn last night, I’ll join with the calls for him to go. At the moment, I await his response with interest.

Is it his full time job? What does he do day to day? And how much is he paid?

[handsofstone]

Boxing needs rid of him, he's a disgrace

[TheGman]

The whole team of the bbbc do it's a joke

It's his full time job.

[TheLeprechaun]

it won't happen. They will have boxing completely ruined in the country. The amount of high profile people tweeting about how much of a robbery it was last night and how they are put off boxing was surprising.

[forcefraser]

Who is going to get rid of him?

He gets paid well for a job he loves with zero accountability. He aint giving that job up anytime soon and there aint no one around to sack him.

[Twinkle Toes]

Untouchable like the cretins under him

Only way he goes I think if the rest of the board had a vote of no confidence. Can’t see it happening. He should be honest and not defensive about what happened last night and it should be properly dealt with I.e. IJL having his license removed (he’s done it far too many times) and Laughlin given a warning/perhaps suspension from judging (I think he’s a good ref).

The bbbofc is a limited private company isn’t it?

[maverick23]

Yep.

[Riddick Bowie]

I remember Rob Smith being aloof and indifferent to complaints about his operation in the 1990s!

How does a man keep a job like this for so long?

Who made him the boss of British boxing?

Who do you remonstrate with if you have a problem with Rob Smith? Rob Smith?

[TheLeprechaun]

The pr(ck couldn't have a better job could he? History will remember him as one of the biggest pr*cks in British boxing history in my opinion anyway.

won't care about that,more interested in the salary no doubt

Can someone explain to me how it works.

So if a pro boxer needs a license to box is it only the BBBC who can give it him ? And does the promoter of any show need a license from the board before he can put on that show ? And who bestows on the BBBC the power to grant these licences ?

And what’s to stop some genuine boxing people setting up for example the UKBBC and licensing fighters and promoters under their auspices

Anyone can licence a boxer with their own bodies but it is only the BBBoC which is recognised by the relevant bodies.
Therefore other licences are worthless

The 50 or so sanctioning bodies who charge fee's

There is nothing to stop anyone starting up a boxing commission. All these high profile boxing people that voiced concern at the weekend could just hand their licences back and either form or use another commission. The problem is the broadcasters and building a new infrastructure. It would take a dedicated team and a lot of money to form a new board. Referees, inspectors,stewards,etc. All those boxing people that voiced their disapproval at the weekend,should hand their licences in and keep condemning the board. But they won't imo because they make half decent money in a sport that treats them so badly
