    Thats good, call me a suck up but could you imagine many other promotional banners personally responding to emails like that. I get in brill, I don't its a shame but I think they're a top outfit.

    They seem like a top drawer operation. I'm really pleased Froch is fighting under their banner too, I'm sure they'll do an excellent job.

    They do there are other things that I can't talk about right now but they are sincerely looking to establish boxing in the right light again.

    Matchroom are my favorite promotional team. You can see they read the forums and take note of the fans thoughts and Eddie's got the right attitude to make more fans then enemies unlike other promoters who ask for stick when shows go to pot.

    They'll have their bad nights too but thus far i'm a fan- they treat their fighters with total respct and the PF i went to was top drawer.

    I don't know the ins and outs of matchroom but Eddie has been a real breath of fresh air.

    They seem to be doing an excellent job - British boxing could be huge again with the right promoter / TV partnership - and obviously the right fighters. Good luck with the selection Jeff - it would be fantastic to see you on Prizefighter and you deserve a shot as much as anyone.

    Hearn answers quickly, I'm impressed:

    Thanks for the email *****.

    You are right, PF should be about giving someone that life changing opportunity and for that reason Jeff is now in the mix.

    We will decide early next week.

    Kind regards

    Eddie

    Yep, Eddie is top notch I agree. Apart from the fact he listens to the fans he backs it up by doing the business promotionally, he's performing miracles at the moment.
