This remains one of the best written boxing features out there. It's so much more than just a schedule:-
Funding fascinates me [I just wish all fights had to list 'official purses' as Dan often lists for some US show]. 65 fights upcoming this weekend alone. Are any promoters/broadcasters making any money?
What is Redemption PPV [and how many people will stump up for Farmer vs Bey in a 10 Rounder as the main event?
I had no idea Gassiev was coming back prior to reading the article
Azeez vs Pitters is a cracking fight.
Etc...
Excellent - thanks.
