The manager of Chisora has done a lot of good for boxing over the last couple of decades and has put on some top class shows . Of course there are people out there who feel that he has wronged them . Nevertheless the proposed fight on 14 July ,if it goes ahead , is the end game for him or the BBB of C . Both cannot exist in their current format afterwards .
On the one hand the man will have to either have his shows abroad , or have tournaments in this country which will be considered unlicensed by everyone else involved in the game . The alternative is for the gentleman to gather around him like minded individuals and create a second governing organisation to control boxing in this country .
Although there are people who feel that the Board has made mistakes in the past , I feel the vast majority of licence holders trust them to govern boxing to the best of their ability without fear or favour . If I'm correct the show on 14 July will collapse .
I know this is potentially a huge fight but I'm stunned that FW and those connected with them thought they could get around this .
Short term gain , for long term loss , if you ask me .

Who going on here? Am I the only one.

"After the way Haye and Chisora behaved in Germany they should have served a reasonably lengthy ban. Nobody was hurt but it was shameful to the game. The fight shouldn't be allowed to happen."

I am starting to really dislike McGuigan.

Mcguigan is very right

Thinking about it, got my fingers burnt on the Groves/Anderson show. Might wait and see if Burns/Mitchell gets added.

Barry generally says what he believes to be true.

He's not saying throw them out of the sport, just that they should serve a reasonably lengthy ban. I think that is a fair comment.

Ordered my ticket yesterday. Still not fully convinced it will happen.

Im going if the tickets are still available on payday as then when me and all my mates have the money for it. If not it will be a party at mine as before.

Haye v Ruiz was f'ing brilliant night though to be fair.

Could cost the board a lot of money if it goes legal could even skin t them allegedly will have done his home work .

On what basis?

His Frampton related nonsense, his defence of early stoppages by referees, his comments about this issue and I just find him irritating in general.

This is about the only thing he's said recently that hasn't irritated me!

Indeed!

allegedly built his success on unlicensed boxing so it's unlikely to be something he'll be afraid of this time around.

Returning to his roots in the gutter then.
