    Completely shocked. Stunned. I thought that matchroom made such sense and was a natural fit.

    Wonder how Degale feels about this.

    I think it spells out what Fwank’s doing… he needs to set up more big attractions and it’s pretty clear more people have taken to George than DeGale. This will also affect when DeGale renegotiates his contract…

    “Well James, I’ve got a great prospect at 168, and he’s already beaten you… I’m not sure you’re worth what you’re asking for.”

    Have to say I really don't get this. Am a bit disappointed in Groves if I'm honest.

    This is a bit of a shocker.

    ******'s obviously realised that he's had to raise his game as a result of Matchrooms appearance on the scene.

    Can only be good for British boxing - having two such strong promotional stables -

    Agreed.

    Just seems so out of the blue.

    It seems a bit like a really "cool" independant band who've you've followed silently for years, moving onto a major label and selling their soul. or something.

    there was something unique and interesting about hayemaker and although matchroom are no mickey mouse outfit, they seemed to fit a bit better with groves.

    signing with FW just seems so out of character.






    unless it is Booths plan to bring down FW from within...
