It’s a business mate and while punters keep paying to watch uncompetitive fights on stacked cards promotors will just carry on in the same vein promotors can stand moans for ever and a day what they carnt stand is punters not spending money watching the dross so basically without punters there is no boxing quite simple really

Yeah I wouldlnt give a f**k about some geezer in a pub or on the net moaning as long as I was earning a few quid,im aware of all that & the business aspect mate,all supply & demand isn't it,only knocking out what people keep paying for but imo their buying it cos it's all that's out there,and promoters know most fans will have a moan & buy anyway cos they love the sport & will "take what they get"

For me it's not about spending,as if there's a fight/fights I want to see,I've no problem buying,if it's jank I take no heed of it,I just like to see good competitive fights,I know they're getting rarer & rarer but hate seeing folk bash up two-bob opposition,to me it's like that local chap in every city /town feared by those that don't know better cos he keeps bashing up all the hapless easy pickings - proves nothing,I'd rather a fighter have early career losses against decent testing opposition & then get round it mentally & come on strong & have a great career

Get a lad who keeps bashing up no hopers in easy fights,then he has his first proper fight against someone with a pulse & he gets poggered,it then takes a mental affect on him & it's a downward spiral from there,was he even made & conditioned to be a fighter anyway?

All wishful thinking but it be better all round if it was like that,all this "confidence building" lark I don't get,ok 2-3early easy fights,and no one wants to see a upstart get chucked to the wolves,but many easy early fights does nothing for a fighter imo,a true fighter who has his mind prepared right would relish proper challenges early on.

A major problem as I see it is the fact that sky granted exclusivity to matchroom and that seems to allow them to put absolute crap matches on As they have no real competition I always thought this was a bad move competition creates quality not exclusivity imo
