team uk vs team usa

[neil hibbert]

i know the contender did something like this w while back but i was just wondering what peoples opinions would be if it happened again, been speaking to a few peope and theres a chance something could be sorted out just wondering do you think it would be a good idea, thanks

[kosaros]

It would be a good idea, if it got more promotion than that contender one, because that was poorly promoted - would need some decent names too.

[neil hibbert]

yer thanks, im just seeing what people think before putting the wheels in motion, thanks for the input.

[Losfer_Words]

It's a good idea. Like Kos says, it needs to be promoted better. I'm no UFC fan but their 'Ulitmate Fighter USA V UK' series was very well put together. You can't take that away from them.

[El Cepillo]

Better production values. Better organised and promoted events. The last series was cheap rubbish, TBH.

[neil hibbert]

yer well im gonna take all the posotioves and what people didnt like get changed, if i get enough posotive feedback ill try get things moving forward, i aint involved in boxing in particular i just know the right people that could possibly pull this off

yeah like said above if theres more media on it etc it would probably work.

if you cant find alot of boxers in the pro ranks look at the am's and say your showcasing the "upcoming talent" also.

the main thing is publicity though, i didnt even know about the usa vs uk until half way through and that was only by skipping through channels accidentally.

[Power]

you could even do something like what channel 5 did ages ago with the am's (north uk vs south) that was good but also lacked media

[neil hibbert]

yer tking all this on board i have the american side overed for getting the fighters and looking good for the uk just need to get tv bcking then hopefuly something good could come from it

What type of fighters would you be looking at? prospects, journeymen, gatekeepers or a mixture?

[neil hibbert]

a mixture to be honest, i have only just got the ball rolling so still a long way to go but idealy like all the matchups to be 50/50 or as close as possible because im a major boxing fan myelf an there the fights we all like to see, its a bit ambitious at the moment but so far all the people ive spoke to have been very posotive

[robpalmer135]

the contender USA vs UK completley flopped but mainly because it wasnt live so everyone enw the results.

no chance. :lol:

[Lewisbell]

no chance. :lol:
Froch beats everyone at 168

[Losfer_Words]

Froch beats everyone at 168

Although I'd like that to be true, we shall see if it pans out that way. For the time being, apparently the IBF have ordered purse bids for Bute-Andrade II so we will now most probably see Froch in a voluntary defence:-(. Ah well. He does deserve a break after the war with Pascal and the miracle show against JT.

[Lewisbell]

If Froch vs. Bute can't be made, here are the options in the mean time

Allan Green
Mads Larsen
Stas Kashtanov
Edison Miranda
Adonis Stevenson
