Another Daniel Kinnan comes along tomorrow with the same background, with the money coming from the same place.

And as long as he's willing to pony up boxing with open arms, nothing has been put in place to stop another Kinnan coming in.

The amateur game, not so much in terms of participation, but in terms of public support, I think it has an impact.

People will say the Anthony Caccacci fight in the Three Arena in March was sold out, which I think would have taken people by surprise that there is an audience there.

But I think even within... I'd look at somebody, say, like Donald McRae in The Guardian.

Donald is 65 this year, so he may well retire in the next couple of years.

When he steps away, will the Guardian cover boxing?

I'm not sure they will.

But when you look at Seoul, not to the same extent.

Don covers different sports, but boxing is his main love and his main area of expertise.

And I think a lot of all that's going on around boxing has...

has diluted interest among the media.

Yeah, no, no, no.

That's all part of it.

Because there's fewer specialists.

Like, outside of football, say, in the UK, there's very few specialists now.
