I tell you what then "Jim Chivers", why dont you take over Liams training and management - you obviously have all the answers.

The way to bring fighters and our sport forwards is to build it up in the eyes of the general public, who are more interested in seeing a fighter who is exciting and devastating, showing how good they are. My fighters take on all comers - always have. Sometimes they get easy fights, sometimes hard ones. It remains to be seen how tough this one is. He obviously thinks he's up to the job or he wouldn't have taken the fight would he?

This is why our sport gets nowhere and why the internet does so much damage. Every time one of our fighters starts doing well, all the idiots come out of the woodwork to try to cast doubt and take away their achievements. People from all over the world read this forum. How does it make us look in the UK when they read this crap.

"Is this to wet the appetite of the TV audience who stay up till 5 in the morning (drunks and insomniacs), or is it to line the pockets of Sken?"
What a stupid thing to say. A lot of people see the shows on channel 5 - ok it would be better if they were on at a better time, but at the moment its that or nothing. If you think you can do better, go out and get yourslf a tv deal, promote and put it on, and show us all a thing or two. Or maybe you already are a jealous instructor or promoter who just wants to slag everyone else off even though you cant do any better.

And do you really think that Master Sken or any other promoter really lines their pockets promoting? I sincerely hope that he does make money from this and all his other promotion, because otherwise he would stop putting them on and that would be a big loss. the only way this sport will go forward is when people start to make more money out of it.
