Does the Prizefighter format appeal to MMA fans?

    I've been told by the people at Matchroom (those guys that running darts, snooker, Leyton Orient and some boxing) that they started the Prizefighter to appeal to a cross over audience of younger boxing fans, MMA fans and casual sports fans.

    Has it worked? Do you watch it, like it? or have you even heard of it?

    cheers! :)

    Thats it. Limerickman Willie Casey took the space he vacated and won the thing - he now has a European title shot against Kiko Martinez (he of knocking Bernard Dunne out in 90 seconds fame)

    I like both MMA and Boxing. I hate prizefighter. Usually the best fighter never wins, there is always some decision, injury or the opponent of the best fighter stopped the bum of his opponent in a minute and is fresh as a daisy. Prizefighter was great for a few events but I now think it has run its course.

    I also like both MMA and Boxing but enjoy and watch MMA more. I don't mind Prizefighter but I wouldn't stay in to watch it unless I was broke.
