It's a historically brutal authoritarian regime propped up by Russia. Was under all sorts of sanctions even before the Ukraine war started.

It all highlights why boxing is in trouble. It had little to do with boxing it was all about celebrity. I don't get celebrity - one of the perks of being an expat is that I have never seen a reality show - not one episode of anything. My mind is consistently blown when reading UK papers the...

Also why Russia may not be keen on peace talks? These aren't isolated incidents. Peace talks would also accelerate the war crimes investigations.

May try and circumvent this by announcing an arms deal with Belarus instead - seeing as Lukashenko is visiting Beijing atm. Timing of supposed Belarus partisan attack on Russian plane is convenient for some.

Game turned on the Brook run out. Foakes shouldn't have been sucked in like that but that is bazball.

Boxing has a load of problems: - too many organizations equals too many"world champs" - little free boxing on TV. Now you need pay TV and then if a big fight comes along you've got to pay an extra PPV. Losing the casual fan - MMA. Product of modern society. People want fast "crash,bang,wallop" -...

Get it now. Just seen a Bunce interview and it makes sense. I had no idea this Paul had 200m followers on social media. And Bunce is right boxing needs help.

Fury split win - one of the judges got paid off😄 Fury won pretty comfortably. Split decision I suppose gives chance for another money making return. Neither of them any good. It is just a circus. Found a dodgy stream - guess you have to be a celeb fan to pay to watch that.apparently 50 dollars...

Still hard to see how that fight generated do much money. Never gotten into MMA but the two of them were supposed to have earned around 400 million between them!!

Not surprisingly. Just seen the numbers and it's more for each fighter than 99% of world title fights would get!!

Someone please explain the fascination with this Paul Vs Tommy Fury fight. 2 kids who have fought nobody and spend their lives in the media. Paul is at least a stone heavier.about a dozen "fights" between. I get social media and entertainment pages would get excited by it. But it's getting...

Immediate points all favour Russia - cessation of hostilities allows Russia to retool, reset defensive positions etc. Sanctions removal again benefits Russia. China one of the major beneficiaries of sanctions with cheap oil. China going to back China until an "obvious" winner emerges

Hard to see as much more than PR when it offers bullet points rather than possible solutions.

always a slippery slope for me. Literature, the Arts etc need to be taken in the context of the times in which they were created. Artists accused of fat shaming in female portraits from 200/300 years when in fact they were a celebration of what was considered the epitome of beauty at the time...

DM'd you

That's why I'm saying it's a completely different game now. Everything screams it shouldn't work in Test cricket but it does for now. Other teams will adapt. There inevitably will be a mini-disaster along the way and some will scream but (for me) enjoy the ride. Brave declarations, fast run...

Reminds of being a kid listening to overseas Tests on a pocket radio at night in bed - many years before live TV coverage!! 😁 😁

I find the lines disturbing/confusing. She can be stripped of her citizenship (whist being born here and her family is here) but convicted murderers, rapists,serious criminals etc (who weren't born here and were awarded citizenship- in some cases don't even have citizenship) can't be deported...

It's just a different game now. 21 for 3 having been put in day one of an overseas Test. No problem keep attacking and close the day 315 for 3. Brook on course to be quickest Test batsman to 1000 test runs. Noone has done it all in overseas Tests?
