Said on another thread, watching Leo Santa Cruz vs Gervonta Davies, was a fairly stark reminder of the total horse **** Eddie serves ups. Derek is a fun fighter who has hasn't won a meaningful fight in years.
The Matchroom bandwagon should be likened to WWE these days you can still be a boxing fan and on the whole ignore Eddies enclave of the sport
Haha no its not his real name. He is half Indian though. Someone called him Imran Rashid on one of his YouTube videos once and I've found it funny ever since
His momma called him Davinder, so I'mma call him Davinder. Lol, but Eddie should have had a word with bellew last night. His cheerleader act is horrible, and he always seems to be eyeing the camera from the sidelines to make sure it catches him. It's made worse when there's no one else there to drown out his voice.
Even in between the rounds you're supposed to hearing the bloody cornermen but all you can hear is that fat scouse twaat carrying on his cheerleading act.
Bellew should be banned from turning up to fights after that display. I bet even Chisora was getting annoyed by him.
Why do they want Penfold in their secure bubble? Does he doll himself up at night like the picture off the Tyan Booth videos?
Not quite 300k but late 200’s was Eddie’s initial assessment , that’s around £5.5m in PPV cash , whatever we all think that’s a lot of PPV revenue for them not to exploit.
It is a lot of cash but once you start taking out deductions, fighters purses, venue and , in particular, taxes that'll be a fair old chunk. You can see how important the gate money is right there.
I totally agree mate. My point is that although it being a PPV event is disgrace imo the fact it does those numbers (or somewhere near) justifies the decision to make it PPV in the eyes of MR and SKY.
Some views... 1. Chisnora does not have another PPV fight again. He’s had his chances and he’s never been able to get over euro level. Think he should retire while he has his health as he looks shot at times. 2. Anyone who knows about boxing knows that anyone saying Chisnora won that fight is talking trash and they either have financial reasons for saying it or they are just his mates. 3. Bellew/Penfold/ the Chisnora followers etc... should not have been there at all imo under the circumstances they talked trash during and after the fight and were drowning the commentary and Chisnora corner with crap. “ pin him in the corner” etc.. they knew he was losing. 4. Usyk will never be a unified World HW champ as long as I have a hole up my arse. No power but great skill, think he will end his career sparked at some point which will do nothing for his legacy. 5. Haye did nothing to make Chisnora boxing any better apart from try teach an old dog how to throw Southpaw jabs during the fight. Apart from that he was plodding as usual and throwing the windmill when he could. Nothing changed and in fact he looked like he was after oxygen after round 1. 6. Was a shite PPV and needs to be better.
Obviously you’ve got Bellew screaming like a tart from the sideline which is annoying for the viewers and no doubt the corners but another thing it can do is have some influence on judging imo.
