Could be interesting.

Organised by Kieran Farrell and Ricky Hatton. A small hall tournament, where prospects actually face each other in competitive fights than the usual cast of journeyman.

Three cards, eight fighters. Quarters, semis, final. £8k for the winner.

When's this starting mate

Not sure. Kieran posted it on Facebook. Think it just said "soon".

Sounds good and a nice little earner for them! Like stuff like this, there's more to boxing than a vegas PPV etc

It looks good and from what I'm seeing Kieran Farrell is changing the small hall scene, he's got ambition Kieran I hope it works out for him

Great idea

Utterly shite money. Cheeky bastard Hatton.

I wonder, unfortunately, whether it will work logistically / practically....e.g. Injuries, contractual issues, commitment

Breath of fresh air. I've been to a few of the shows he puts on. His lads are always the home side (obviously) but never gives them soft touch opposition, with plenty away wins.

Cheap tickets too, £20-25.

Any shows in the midlands? I'd be keen to support any shows who have that approach

Why is he a cheeky bastard it's Kieran's promotion with a bit of help from Hatton I think 8 grand for the winner is a nice sum

He's only done in and around Manchester at the moment (next one 27th May) and just started a few in Ireland but I'm sure he'll branch out.

He's doing great so far. He's not got anyone who's truly established a name or reputation nationally or locally yet, but you'll get 8-10 even fights.

Post a notice up when he's got a show on, if you could, I'll see what I can do it deserves support

There's one on 27th in Manchester. Apparently also got some lads on the Haskins / Burnett undercard and Frank's Belfast card.

Assuming each fighter sells a few tickets in the first round probably 50 each with them being 50/50 match ups that makes 400 tickets. Then when a fighter loses in first round the fans who came may still be interested in watching the progression of the tournament so would come to the following 2 events. Meaning that the overall winner has the potential to attract a further 350 ticket sales. And has already proven himself to be good in competitive fights.

Win win. It's a great way to find a star

I have an affinity for tournaments

8k? For 3 fights if you win?

Standard wage for an away fighter is 1200 odd.

Could be tempting as long as you don't mind the phone not ringing so often if you win it.

It's less for the home fighter unless they are doing 150 tickets.

Forgive any naivety here, but why wouldn't the phone ring?

It's geared towards local prospects, who want to achieve something, actually fighting each other and being in competitive bouts rather than getting to 8, 9, 10-0 against nobody.
