I've been speaking to quite a few people about this (fans), and no-one is that excited.
There is a definate 'i'll believe it when i see it' about the whole thing.
As a fan, i guess the only thing that matters is that we get top fighters matched against our best (everyone liked the jwp v peter crooke match).
Everyone wanted a current stadium champion over, and most people liked the idea of a famous ex fighter (like Orono)? although i think that's more nostalgia than a top fight.
No-one, myself included, believes the sport will/can work together, and several found it most amusing a suggestion since time after time the proof is there to see.
Our conclusion was that everyone wants 'a piece of it' because they don't want to be left out of things (which is understandable) but i personally believe that some people have worked so hard looking after there own interests in mt, that if there was nothing to be gained personally from such a venture then they wouldn't be interested.

Mike Duffy tried to put on a show with Dekker and Ballentine on it years ago, and that was 'brought down', and no-one could see the same type of thing NOT happening so ruthless are many of the people involved these days.
The cracks should start to appear as soon as the 'who's doing what' and 'who's fighting who' is out, and it will have to be a strong team for everyone to agree with everything as a lot of those involved have their own agenda in mt.

I'm not knocking the project, because all i want to see is top fights and good singular administration of mt in this country, but thats what people think about this that i have spoken to.
I also spoke to Dave Jackson and Dean White yesterday. Dean has a show this week with no titles and he had seven pull outs. I agree with him that interest will rely on 'whats in it' for the managers/fighters and when i mentioned about everyone working together he gave me some instances of xxx working with xxx and i have to agree with him that it isn't going to happen.
Ta for the call Dave, already it looks like the coordination of the arrangements require some allocation work :-) the very best luck with it all.
