    i think that lad has improved so much as an interviewer.
    at the start of ifl tv i used to put him down saying he was frustrating to watch and listen to in interviews, especially in the early fast eddie interviews where there was so much, too much, talking shite basically......but he is totally transformed now.....does fantastic interviews, which are enjoyable to watch and that channel provides a wonderful service for boxing fans.
    there's been times he has done interviews with boxers where it has made their next fight a must watch because you have become familiar with the boxer.

    anyway...thats all....what do you's think ?

    100% agree. I can see Kugan going mainstream and possibly getting a job with Sky Sports.

    No it's owned 50/50 by Kugan and James Helder.

    Kugans just very pally with Eddie and clearly favours him over the other promoters.

    Suppose it's only natural when Eddie puts on most shows.

    I do think recently however they have made more of an effort to cover the Boxnation and Coldwell stuff too.

    Kugan does a great job, and a big mention should also go out to James Helder too, they both work their bo**ocks off. I love watching all the IFL footage before and after watching the shows...

    They seem to get there expenses paid travel and hotel.
    Kugan recently showed his room at the Hilton Liverpool.
    Personally I think they should get paid more than just expenses as its great marketing for the promoters and boxers.

    actually...he has guested on sky sports before....and with his rapport with boxers...and his friendships on the ringside team...nelson and mccrory...and his friendship with fast eddie who has pull there....i could well see him landing a "roving reporter" type slot for the ringside show.......and...he has a following built up which i am sure ringside would look upon as pulling more viewers in.

    make a wee bit from the youtube adverts

    also...kugan showed great composure with tony bellew last week i thought....maybe it was all just banter but to me it looked like bellew was out and out insulting him and belittling him in front of a crowded dressing room....calling him a "fookin panda" and saying it in a way that didnt look much like banter.

    Agreed, you good feel the tension. Bellews real personality comes out and its not nice.

    If he ever fights Marco Huck I look forward to the post fight interviews I bet Bellew will be humble after the beating he'd get.
