I dont agree with the "at least its on" "I suppose though we should be glad atleast we are getting some coverage" argument. I believe it should be all or nothing. At this stage of our sports development in the eyes of the general public, if it isnt good enough, it shouldnt be on tv. Full stop.

Easier said than done, but we need to sort the sport out in general. While there are several sanctioning bodies, no uniformity and anyone putting on whatever they want as long as the have the money, it wont be long before the tv channels get sick of it and stop putting it on.

It happpened before with the Stuart Promotions/WKA shows in the early 90's and it took 10 years to get tv stations interested again. I would hate to see that happen again.

While we have promoters putting on shows and asking "has anyone got a fighter at Xkg to fight my guy for a 'british title'", we cannot expect the game to be taken seriously by anyone except those of us who love it.

But who wants to give up control of being able to put "British" and "Commonwealth" - even "European" and "World" titles on their shows with fighters of their choosing and without having to pay expensive purses????
