Lee v Saunders 'head to head'

[beenKOed]

I'm just watching this, it was on BoxNation last night, the old dark room sitting backwards on chairs and trash talking to build the fight...wait a minute...there is no trash talking at all.

I'm looking forward to this fight but they are doing absolutely nothing to sell the tickets, I can't remember the last time I saw two fighters with this much respect for each other.

BJS - Andy Lee can knock me out with the right hook, I'm going to have to be careful of that punch
AL - BJS can box the ears off me for 12 rounds, I'm going to have to be careful of that

BJS - this is the toughest fight of my career, I have to be at my absolute best to win
AL - BJS is the toughest figth I've had, I can't underestimate him if I want to win

whilst its refreshing to see the mutual respect when you have the farcical press conferences from Fury its just well...a little boring and flat.

Refreshing is the right word, almost makes me want to be a Brit!

Dull build up, interesting fight but the problem is no one is anticipating an exciting fight.

Yeah it's ever so much better when one fighter acts like a complete twat



I like it when fighters respect each other, I like it when boxers hate each other, but I do not like the phony bullshit some boxers do just to try to hype a fight...the all sizzle no steak guys SUCK

Thats why you will never be a boxing promoter.

If you want to sell a fight would you rather have Tyson Fury in press conferences or dull boring Wladimir Klitschko?

When is the last time one of Klitschkos fights have been on the front page of any mainstream papers?

Personalities sell. Pro boxing is a business, its like you have no idea about business or even boxing. Just look at the Lee and Saunders fight as an example. Its not selling amd how many threads are active about it here?

Fenster, Fury is a mandatory....that's why Wlad is fighting him.


Ross, I've never had a professional bout...but I've boxed many a professional

How many amateur bouts have you had?

Fenster, Fury is a mandatory....that's why Wlad is fighting him.

I know he's the mandatory but that doesn't mean Wlad was forced to fight him, he could have vacated the belt. Wlad obviously believes that he can beat him and it makes commercial sense.

When have you seen Wlad doing multi country media tours for any tom dick and harry? Once again, SKY PPV and HBO is not common for Wlad (certainly not PPV). To say Fury brings nothing to the table is quite frankly rubbish. He's one of the most famous heavyweights in the world precisely for being a giant nutter.

Who's trying to be a promoter?


Wlad doesn't need help selling fights dude he fought Jean Marc Mormek in front of 50,000 people. He fought Alex Leapai in front of a large crowd too. Why would he need some jackass like Tyson Fury to sell a fight?


Go watch wrestling, that's what you want.....you want Wrestling Promos...why? Because you don't understand boxing, which is probably why you support a guy who lost to John McDermott everywhere but the cards.

Have you ever boxed? Run your own business?
