So far all the fights until now have been high paced entertaining bouts between undefeated fighters. Hopefully Super Lightweight, Middleweight and Heavyweight are similiar and are also displayed online.

Good that the upcoming fighters that are participating are OK with taking a loss to have a big opportunity.
Obviously everyone will try their best to win, but at least the 0 doesn't seem to be the the be-all and end-all blueprint that majorly affects the future of these fighters.
Agreed...also the fights are only 6 rounds long so losing by decision against another top prospect is NO big deal.
Yes that's probably 10-15 fights worth of prize money if they end up winning the competition. However, like the commentator said after Powar's fight, he's very likely to be signed by a TOP UK promoter after that performance which is the real prize in my opinion.
In fact, just being on this kind of platform is a victory in itself even if they lose as they're facing other top prospects.

That's not bad, sufficient for a upcoming fighter to self maintain and be able focus on training to get more opportunities. Also the experience, elevation in rankings and being signed by a big promoter.
Normally they get 1K to 15K depending on the fighter's quality of opponent and their marketibility.

$200K and the likelihood of being signed by a top promoter.

Just wanted to note that.
1. There was a lot of good competitive bouts and a few (1-3) snoozers.
2. The chat is filled with racism.
3. Bonalo seems to go all out early, the guy is already taxed in the 4-5th round.
4. Talent wise, the fighters that standout to me is Qamalli, Denson, Munguia Jr, Nash and Mosqueda. The ones that lose in the tournament in phase 2 are still worth keeping an eye over in their future bouts.
Powar is fun to watch
Yes that was a VERY impressive performance. His opponent was a top amateur who beat Bam Rodriguez and one of Lomachenko + Inoue's sparring partner's so I was expecting a tough fight but Powar blew him out of the water with a 59-55 shutout on all 3 scorecards. Terrific performance!
Btw Powar is one of 2 Punjabi Sikh fighter's competing at the event...Eric Basran is much more talented in my opinion but has a tough fight against American Isaiah Johnson tomorrow.
