With the situation regarding the televised broadcast of boxing being as it is can anyone imagine a way that people can settle their differences and move forward, for the betterment of boxing in the UK and for their own businesses?

Could or should Matchroom hold an olive branch and make a strong position even stronger or should he make hay while the sun shines?

What about regional managers and promoters, could they make or improve relationships?

What about Mr Warren, what could he do? Does boxing have to be a dog eat dog business?

I'm sure Eddie has already confirmed he is prepared to work with any promoter, as long as the resulting fight is on SKY.

That's not really working with them though, just them lending him their fighters. He'll work with other promoters, but only if it's on his terms.

Thank you expe :salut: this is the point I was trying to make; there ought to be a longer term view toward making agreements with, and how you treat others; then, over a longer term everyone does better than they would have done. It happens in other areas of business, why is boxing so different?
