    I want a show all about women’s boxing.

    And the reasons why it seems to be in decline.

    A few years ago the future looked bright - amazing women on every bill.

    So what’s happened?

    Why have promoters stopped pushing?

    We all know Turki Al Sheikh has no interest - but what about Hearn and Warren?

    Buncey is the best thing in boxing!

    But - as a fan - I want to know….

    * Has Turki Al Sheikh’s investment in boxing helped changed the culture in Saudi?

    * what’s happened to women’s boxing? Where are the fights? Why have all the promoters dropped women’s fights??

  • Great pod… but

    Gone downhill so much since Costello left. Don’t know why Bunce has guests on he just talks over them anyways. Almost as cringe as watching him on TV. Embarrassing.

  • It’s decent.

    It hasn’t gotten bad per se, but it was better when Costello was on here with Bunce, now that his DAZN deal is over, is there a way to bring him back perhaps?
