The amount of politics in British MT never fails to amaze me.

Its like stray cats fighting over scraps of food. No sharing or cooperation and at the end of the day there is fuck all to fight over.

Why is it like this?

In Thai boxing you have 4 groups of people -

the supporters
the fighters
the trainers
the promotors

All fighters want to do is fight. All trainers want to do is train fighters. All supporters want to do is see good fights.

The people who are holding the sport back are the promotors. MANY want to be the main men and to make as much personally out of the sport. Its laughable when you see Master Sken and Ali Jacko fighting to get into the picture when interviews are taking place.

The both are doing a lot for the sport buts it all for personal gain. In my mind, and in many others, MT has so much potential which will never be realised as long as the sport is so fragmented.

There is people out there, like Dave, Sandy, Richard, Colin, Bulldog and Alan, who want whats best for the sport. The idea for them to come together and put on brilliant shows is exactly what the sport needs.

Colin - You seem quite sceptical but I don't see why. The show wouldn't need EVERY promotor/trainer in England, just 5 or 6 who want whats best for MT. As long as they don't get involved in petty arguments then they really could pull it off.

Good luck guys!
