I see sir. I beg your pardon. Points taken.
You are correct. Many can see the problems, many more think they have somewhere to lay the blame, usually based on a viewpoint passed down by someone else or isolated experiences. The generalisations are not helpful and grossly inaccurate sometimes as well.

The blame, and therefore the inability to find the solution lays squarely with everyone.
There is a list as long as your arm of reasons why which all lead to the real truth. And that truth is that too high a percentage of people in the game don't actually want the restriction of regulation. they want to moan and point fingers when things are not right, but they don't want to make the sacrifice it takes to make it right.

Those that do fight an uphill battle as they are surrounded by this crap.

I watch people week in and week out moaning about discrepancies, and then pitch themselves straight in to that promoters next event.

It does not really matter who is regulating or sanctioning as long as they follow a guideline.
People have mentioned Orgs being blanked in favour of individual brands. That's fine if the rule sets and regs are in place and adhered to. Glory, K1 etc have that covered. No problem.

But many others couldn't even tell you what happens in the case of an accidental stoppage in the 2nd round because they are still discussing rules sets between themselves in the changing rooms before a contest. there is nothing written down, no rules confirmed, in fact they have not even thought about it because their priorities are different.They can put their own brand title on and save £250, and whilst they are at it, they can give the fight to the biggest ticket seller.

It's become a yawn with easy scapegoats and crap quotes like 'all the politics killing things'. It's not politics - it's the people!
