HOW does 2022 compare to other years you’ve been in the job? For me, it feels almost like the severity of the lows outweighed the highs.
It’s been a long and tough year. But is it worse than any other year? I don’t know. Perhaps the things that have gone wrong, have been bigger. But don’t forget all the good things we’ve had, some great fights and looking at it purely from a boxing standpoint, it’s been a good year. The rest is admittedly slightly different.
This Thursday (December 22) will be the last show of the year and that will be the 307th show, which is the most we’ve ever done. We did 276 in the year before Covid and when you consider what Covid did to us and sport as a whole, that’s something. And when you consider that, on average, each show consists of six or seven fights, that’s an awful lot of fights that went by in 2022 without any criticism or controversy.
