Good to see the response about the joint venture. I share Colin H. Sceptisism about joint ventures but there is a way around this and that is to only include trainers and fighters. No promoters, no middlemen, no armchair supporters etc. Lets just get the trainers together with their relevant fighters to talk about it. I would travel anywhere for that meeting! I remember the last time we tried to get sports council recognition for example, too much interest by people trying to monopolise rather than sort the issue out. The people that train the fighters are the ones that need to meet. Many of them promote shows aswell, including myself,Sandy Holt,Sean Toomey, Dave Jackson, Karl Samms etc. However they all train fighters aswell. This is what it is really about! We are the ones that want to see our own fighters and the sport progress. to be honest I put on between 2 and 4 shows a year and it is a nighmare! Pullouts, pullouts,pullouts.... I am not surprised that Sky have shown no interest in Thai because some of the shows have had rank novices on them including mine! If anyone can tell me they havent done the same then I would like to hear! The fact is that there isn't enough money in the game to promote such a show unless the trainers get together and agree to fight for nothing. That includes me! This way you could afford to have 10 international, say England v Holland! Any more ideas?
