The reason I ask about the UK Governing Body is that there's whispers that a new body will be formed to rival the IMMAF here in the UK. Makes me wonder if each have anything to do with the other...

I have not had a proper chance to look up the Q+A's as in a very limited net connection area til next week. Maybe I've got it wrong but it just seemed like they were trying to regulate the safety...

I'm quite a skeptic about this whole governing body thing, although I do see it as a positive for the sport I'd like to ask people's opinions on:

1) Will it be viable for smaller promotions

...

Really?

I know several pro boxers and they have to shift at least 50 tickets to make £250 purse, so unless a pro boxer has some serious amateur honours, or is an aspiring heavyweight, then I'd say...

Ok I know a bit about this particular event and have also nominated two fighters to go down to it.

Just to reply to a few points:

Bare knuckle boxing is not illegal as long as both parties...

Invite journalists could be good and bad. When you've got angry fan-boys in the crowd giving it the "smash his fucking head in" it could lead to awful press. Though thankfully these are becoming less...

Didn't surprise me the lack of response on this one, seems to me the whole 'purses for amateurs' situation is increasing, in which will probably have a drastic effect on upcoming amateur development....

Should amateurs be paid a purse - yes or no?


The very definition of amateur means they should not be paid, as in all other amateur sports. So, if you think amateur mma fighters who fight under...

Would like to also recommend Neil Hall of MMA Officials, helped myself out with MMA insurance when the insurance companies were clamping down on 'caged' sports altogether... Failing Neil, you could...

What a bunch of fucking morons, just like the leaders of the BNP, National Front, EDL, etc. All clueless morons.

Doesn't the US one stand for BAdbeat MMA and the UK one stand for the British Association of Mixed Martial Arts??

Is BAMMA an association?

Bloody hell i'm surprised Sak is still in the game.

To break away from the BBBoC and have rival bodies form. It will basically end up like K1/Kickboxing/Muay Thai/MMA with nodbody knowing exactly who the real champions are because every sanctioning...

Thanks for clearing up.

Thing is this is not good for British Boxing itself in the long-run because we are opening up the gates for any old tom, dick or harry to come along and think they can sanction boxing.. Warren has...

Taken from another forum. Quite interesting. I have added the words MMA to the title.

This thread has been prompted by the recent news of the upcoming David Haye vs Derek Chisora fight.

Both...

Bit of a joke cancelling like that when so many people, in particularly families forking out for their kids to go and see top names. What a joke.

Is this organised by the people that done the SENI...

Well done to Mr Ogle, fantastic news. I hope he goes far!!!!!

Oh. And please don't put spoilers in the fucking threat title. The word numpty comes to mind.

Fight fixing goes on in all the main fights, albeit moreso in the lower classes: muay thai has a load of rigged fights in thailand, boxing has loads of history of match-rigging and that mickey mouse...

As much as BJJ is not for me it is however a martial art. In fact ANY combat form, be they for self defence, hand to hand (including certain weapons), or sport, from Cumberland wrestling, boxing and...

Very true. Another 20.

EDL are muppet-led, and have muppets as followers.

I hate all extremists regardless of , nationality, colour, race, sex, age... White supremacists are just as bad as Muslim extremists.
Why don't...

yawn... 48 seconds of my life before i switched off, i will never get back

Must've got beat.
