The Brexit edition....

If we vote for Brexit British boxing will instantly collapse into bare-knuckle, barnyard fighting and there will be two decades of painful, ruinously costly negotiations before any British fighter is ever allowed to fight for the blue belt again. George Osborne has said it will be so.

Fact 1.01: Being a boxing promoter is easy peasy. Potential opponents always want to travel to your country, take fights and always fit in the budget. If they are in the top 15, they are automatically available, free of injury, suspension and promotional problems. If you promote a world champion, it's really easy to land them a big fight. If you don't, your boxer is just ducking people and you are a useless money grabber. It's easy.... honest.
