John Murray has been championing this for as long as I can remember. All it's needed is a figurehead and someone who is a name in the game to get this out to the masses. Long overdue and criminal most fighters end up with nothing out of the game
Great stuff, I hope the big heavyweight lads like AJ/Fury worth hundreds of millions get involved too, bit of capital to kick start things would help. Ideally followed by a pot every one contributes to depending on earnings. Can't wait for others to help you...gotta do it ya self. Promoters are greedy pigs who will make huge money from several generation of fighters...then pass that business onto their kids to do the same. Also legal/liability issues re why they won't get involved. Well done to Paul Smith & Amir Khan for getting the ball rolling!
Maybe, but I fully respect these lads for trying. I hope other big names/media help em out. Cause promoters/board won't ever help. Gotta do it ya self. Good luck to em
How can they have a union they don't work for anyone. If their contract isn't adhered to they can take their promoter to court. Don't understand how it could work what about journeymen they won't pay into a union they don't get enough money and have no idea when there next fight will be if at all.
Or in English the caption should read ...its criminal that fighters dont have a union
The caption suggests the fighters are criminals 🙈
I've been saying this for years. Need money backing and support from everyone involved in British / world boxing.

You know damn well Fury won't lol, he loves his money, he already supposedly 'donated' his purse to charity, don't want him doing it again.
It’s a good idea in theory, but in reality it wont happen
