Thank God for following my gut feeling on that one.

Re: Probellum
Its promoted by Phil Jeffries (who was always involved with the Newcastle Probellum shows), the matchmaker used to be the UK Fight Relations Manager for Probellum and most of the fighters have fought on Probellum shows. In essence its a Probellum show in everything but name...cpx2 wrote: ↑06 Jan 2023, 13:35Let's hope they or someone do.

They've already lost some of their boxers to Sky and DAZN.
Some of them names will need promoting..
Maybe Wasserman can take come on for CH5.

Cash in hand of course ;)
Re: Probellum
Fair play. The original poster suggested Williamson and McGregor would be on the show. I saw the press release suggesting McGregor's still on there, but nothing on Williamson - has he been taken off?adobson15 wrote: ↑26 Jan 2023, 12:14Its promoted by Phil Jeffries (who was always involved with the Newcastle Probellum shows), the matchmaker used to be the UK Fight Relations Manager for Probellum and most of the fighters have fought on Probellum shows.

Re: Probellum
Most likely because it will just be a tick over 6/8 rounder. The undercard includes Ben Rees and Steven Cairns who are both Probellum (or used to be).cpx2 wrote: ↑26 Jan 2023, 12:41Fair play.

Re: Probellum
Looks like they’ve either been bought by, or a more likely, being rebranded as Disrupt Promotions. I’d be surprised if many of Probellum’s main fighters agree to having their deals moved over:

Re: Probellum
Looks like it's being run by Dominic McKean. Anyone know much about him? He's a qualified lawyer and listed as a matchmaker on BBBofC website. He was the Vice President of Business and Legal Affairs at Probellum and Legal Counsel, Global Football at Wasserman before that. He's 36 and I think he's a Scouser. That's all I can find onlinemaverick23 wrote: ↑14 Feb 2023, 15:56 Looks like they’ve either been bought by, or a more likely, being rebranded as Disrupt Promotions.

I’m sure there will be more announcements in the coming days.
Re: Probellum
Seems like Sam Jones’ full time job now is just giving YouTube interviews on Zoom. He’s already done 4 on Paul-Fury at over 20 mins a piece with various outlets. Who gives 2 fucks what that absolute plum thinks.

Re: Probellum
I don't know how there is a market for that kind of stuff. Do people really have such bad lives that they would sit there listening to Sam Jones banging on about boxing? Jesus.
