    Talks about why Haye and Khan are unlikely to be on Sky in the near future and a bit more about the business of boxing and trying to make it appealing to TV bosses/advertisers.

    Was gonna ask if people thought it would be useful if I made an iFilm London video thread (pretty much like griff's thread) to put all their new vids in one place. Or do people prefer using/discussing them in and around the specific threads?

    Good interview, one of his best in a while. Some recent interviews in the last few weeks have just been him and Kugan bantering which is okay but too much of it makes you switch off. This was good, lots of hot topics discussed and lots of interesting information we learned.

    Yeh if I wanted to give Kugan more credit, I would say he has been cleverly maneuvering himself into a matey relationship with Fast Eddie, so he can spring his true journalistic instincts on him and get us the real scoop:bbb

    Hearn's a good talker, and addresses all things very well.

    V/Good interview.

    Not if it says borked.
     
  8. Less humility than normal from Eddie, thought he seemed a bit tetchy in that. Enjoyed Kugan taking the **** out of his premature celebration in the Froch Bute fight.

    Kugan's as much a mouthpiece as Bunce is. He's the least challenging interviewer out there and just as biased.

    If you view the site on a mobile platform, the You Tube links don't show up. Instead they say BORKED.
     
  13. Thought he tried to offer an alternative point of view there and usually plays it pretty straight whoever he's interviewing.

    Not usually challenging admittedly and it doesn't always look great because he's obviously mates with Eddie, but he does at least raise potentially tricky questions even if he qualifies them by saying they're from other people.

    He's nowhere near as one sided or 'as much a mouthpiece' as Bunce. As much for the fact that he generally asks questions rather than spouting his opinions.

    very good interview and he is open to say if there is a chance for other promotors to get their fighters on his bills then this is the opportunity isnt there?

    Can't understand where you are coming from. In that interview with Eddie, Kugan straight-up told Eddie to his face that he doesnt like the monopoly and prefers it to have a 4 or 5 promoters on Sky.
