Oscar rolling out the excuses already

So unlike you Primo, the Brits are gullible and stupid? Is that what you are saying?Are you simply admitting we are bigger boxing fans than you?

Gullible yes, stupid is a matter of opinion, but anyone who PPV's Bellew v Haye or Cleverley is a definite contender for stupidity.If you think you're a bigger boxing fan, good for you , I wouldn't really know. I didn't realise it was a competition "who's the bigger boxing fan!" It's a bit like the old "my Dad's bigger than your Dad" syndrome.

Quite the opposite. Despite apparently living all your life in the UK you seem to consider yourself as being 'above' the average Brit. I don't think I am a bigger boxing fan, I assume everyone here is a huge boxing fan. I am just not ashamed of being British, and don't think what other people choose to spend their money on, is in any way relevant.

So from me saying I wouldn't really know if I was a bigger boxing fan, you think I consider myself as being above the average Brit? I don't think I've ever said that. And let us not forget you brought up the question about who the bigger boxing fan was, now you "assume we're all huge boxing fans", so I don't know why the question in the first place?

all I said was if people want to buy Bellew v Haye or Bellew v Cleverley, or Eubank Jr. for that matter, then their sanity has to be questioned . that doesn't mean I deny them the right to spend their money however they want.
the reason I feel passionately about the lack of value or worthiness of certain PPV's is because this is the tip of the Iceberg. You only have to look at Pro Soccer in the UK to see where it's going. I've already said that Brook v Spence for example, I wouldn't hesitate in paying for , but there are many others that are either not good value or not worthy.
Finally, why should you be ashamed to be British? you seem to be a tad paranoid if I'm honest.

So now people are insane ?

I am a bit ashamed to be British today to be honest

Come off it you are always having a dig at the Brits for being mugs etc. There have always been crooks in Boxing. It is the nature of it. I know what you are saying but without wanting to make you into a cynical old man it isn't about to become a shiny reputable transparent business any day soon and it it did you might actually find it over sanitised. Hearn takes the p*ss, Frank takes the p*ss, Khan takes the p*ss, Oscar takes the p*ss, Bob Arum takes the P*ss, I see Judges, refs, promoters, small clubs, big clubs, venues, (editors ) the public, and everyone take the p*ss all the time. Embrace it or rail against it ( and I support you railing against it if it makes you feel better) they will still take the p*ss. Just enjoy those that don't.
