I have no idea. I do know that Ross Greenburg was a loss for HBO. NOT boxing, per se, but that fucker put together the sickest documentaries.


OH, and, not for nothing, that tournament was a disaster. It has taken what, like 3 years at this point, and STILL no tourney winner? The Fight Camps were great though, but once a month?I dunno.

Great idea. OBVIOUSLY needs tweeking.

How da hell is a tournament a "Great Idea"?

It's like serving coffee while it's hot.

Sorry. I didn't mean that as the overall theme. Just in theory sort of.

I mean its a great idea if you can hash it all out within a year or so, like that Sugar Ray Robinson Middleweight Tourney was.

I was one of the critics of the 6 man super middie tourney, because it was a round robin, double elimination point system thing.

Fuck all that. Too many players. Too many possibilities.

Its BOXING, not ping pong.

keep it limited to 4 (or 6) guys, SINGLE ELIMINATION, and get it over with.

3+ years for a shitty ass division where contestants were dropping out from injury, etc.??? One elimination. 4 guys.

Whatever.
