dislike him a lot, all he does is repeat what Eddie says, but in a slightly different manner. Hasn't got an opinion of his own because he has been a tea boy yes man for so long
Forget the weak cards, this has been the worst part of the Matchroom world expansion for me, having this guy do interviews to give Eddie a break.
I know what you mean mate lol. Guy annoys me, talks contrecending shite, loves himself and is totally false (he literally is trying to be an Eddie Hearn clone).
This content is protected Oh dear, what an appalling interview. Arrogantly telling people to 'educate themselves' on Saudi Arabia before discussing the human rights issues.
They're going to get tricky questions in the run up to this fight about ethics. If I were Matchroom, I'd keep Smith well away from interviews where he might be asked. On this showing - he doesn't have the understanding or intelligence to answer them properly. Hearn is already taking the 'interesting' stance that ethics and religion aren't his field and he's just concerned with the boxing. That sort of answer might wash with Kugan, but over the next 4 months or so he will get grilled on this from an ethical stand point.
Smith is actually talking there like loads of Brits are going to go over, nah there not don’t matter if you put on a gig the night before. Aj has massive fan base no doubt but most of the crowd will be Saudi i would imagine. Certainly not going to have the 9 thousand or however many it was who went over to New York
Complete tool. Seemed to be his response to every difficult question. That said, name a boxing promoter that gives a straight answer...though you at least expect them to know the answer they’re avoiding in their response...
