    Universum= Worst Promotional Company

    Honestly the only news you hear with universum is either them suing their fighters or their fighters suing them. Is it official, are they the worst promoters around?

      What about Team Palle????

      Frank Warren gets a lot of heat from the brits.

      And why do you think Universum is bad in the first place? They have made Sturm a multimillionaire without exposing him to too much risk.

        3 million people tuned in to watch valuev vs holyfield, the klitskcho brothers sell out huge stadiums fighting the tony thompsons & ray austins of the world.
        50,000 fans to watch hatton fight lazcano.

        What does that tell you about european boxing?

        they will basically watch anything. no matter how awfully boring, uneven the match up is.

            THAT...is their problem.
            In a fighter's perspective, maybe Universum would be good.

            but for fans around the globe who want Universum fighters to fight the best, theyre pretty awful.

            still, theyre pretty darn good at hyping up mediocre fights. So I dont know what to say about them, haha.

              Yeah. I await Sturm's reasons for splitting. Is it lack of big fights? Surely it cannot be his purses since he allegedly received 1.1 million euros for the Sato defense.

                I wouldnt say they are the worst because theyve done some profitable moves for others but they are in the top 3.

                    He's pretty much been forced into retirement, but he tried to get Molitor last year so it's Murad Muhammad.
