I know you can't judge people just on appearance, but if I was going to judge the people in charge of this I would say each looks like a crook

Groves selects Cox and says it's a long tournament so he wanted an easy fight first. Cox says he looks forward to burying a seed
Callum Smith selects Skoglund says it matches stylistically, Skoglund says he's honored
Eubank Sr selects for Jr/Abraham winner and selects Yildirim says because he's a come forward fighter for a spectacular fight. Yildirim says it's his time
That leaves Brahmer vs Brant, both are respectful
Boxingnews24 has a stream, stupid song debuting now, next is cruiserweight
The timeline for this means it ends (without injuries/disputes) next May. This ain't no micky mouse super-six, serious money has gone into it ($50 milion prize fund), serious people are behind it. Eight quarterfinals in a eight weeks. The launch night looked incredible for a boxing event (people behind the champions league ran it).
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
Groves picked Cox not just because he knows him because the British fans know him. It's an easy sell with Cox being with Matchroom, no problems with TV or anything.
Cox has sparred loads with Groves, Eubank jr and other top fighters through his barren spell (main sparring partner for Canelo recently). His problem is a) he's a luntatic and b) he's a lunatic (been inside a couple of times, should have been DQ'd a couple of times too). We had a Jamie Cox watch thread on here years ago before he went loco.

Fifty million is more than Top Rank and Golden Boy put together made in profit last financial year, not to mention Haymon's ongoing multi million loss making fuckup. There's a rabbit away somewhere.
Cruiser aside from Lebedev opting out is fantastic. 168 is ok but will hopefully lead the bigger things in the future.
