    Thoughts on the rising match room stable. :) ...good promotier? Fair? Arshole? Good matchmaker? Delivering top fight?

    Bit of a ****er. Tries his best to be honest but is emotionally invested in his fighters. Still learning and making fish eyes less and less relevant.

    Interestingly, his sons are taking over his business bit by bit too.

    I've seen hour long interviews with him and i can't help but agree with everything he says.

    His biggest flaw is being from Es***. Makes him instantly unlikable.

    Top geezer.

    Just a shame his 'team' are a bunch of idiots.

    My friend offered them a £1,000,000 sponsorship deal and they didnt even get back in touch.

    Instead they sign with an investment group for £500,000 for a multi year deal.

    Bizarre set up.

    I've actually watched many interviews with him, particularly insightful are the 45+min ones, he actually talks very openly and in detail, answers questions literally directly from the screen. I think he's an alright guy to be honest now I've watched some lengthy dialogue from him, he doesn't seem to be talking out of his **** the majority of the time, I have a new found respect for how he explains all the little details of each thing he's been involved with.

    A giant tit. A car salesman. Hypes up his guys then makes complete ****fests on Sky TV. It's all well talking the talk but where is there walking the walk?

    As promoters go I don't think he's that bad, he's got title shots for quite a few UK boxers at home etc, like Mitchell / crolla etc. Think he's helped make some of his fighters like degale, froch and brook etc more likeable to the general public, and fighters like josh warrington are selling out 10-12k seats and making the matchroom fight nights seem bigger occasions then what they actually are, - which is often 5 names fighting 5 people nobodys ever heard of and can't pronounce at odds of 1/100.

    He does seem to link well with some USA promoters, and has tried to make big fights with brook khan and quigg Frampton etc which haven't been his fault imo for not happening.

    All in all, could be better but could be a lot worse.

    Doing a great job for British boxing and far more open and honest than most promoters.

    he is done great to protect kell brook and keep him away from top 10 fighters... not often do you see a fighter with only 1 fight against a top 10 opponent in his 12 year career
