    Agree with everything you say here n17 the only thing I will say is that any woman's fight with matchroom behind it will ultimately benefit all the fighters in the long run because they are the only promotional outfit really backing the females globally.dont worry though bridges and courtenay will get it one way or another

    I have no problem with female boxers and there are some that really impress me but Courtney and Bridges do not ! This is an Instagram /YouTube event where their respective bust size is the major selling point ! At the conclusion one of them will be recognised as a World Champion and that will boost their followers.I hope it does boost female boxing personally I think there are better role models for aspiring female boxers.

    I don’t think Matchroom are trying to benefit woman’s boxing at all with these YouTube fights. They are doing it because the fights are cheap to make

    Adam Booth has 1-0 Ellie Scotney who would already beat Courtenay and Bridges every single day of the week.

    The problem with this fight is that it’s for a world title, makes a mockery of women’s boxing.

    The pool is very shallow but there are good female fighters like Chantelle Cameron etc who has pretty much no public exposure cause she doesn’t flaunt her bits.

    this fight is purely caus they are both decent looking and nothing else which puts women’s boxing even further behind.

    the Jones v Taylor fight has just been announced, which is actually a decent fight but will be overshadowed by a pair of blondes

    Women's boxing has blown up the last few years over here.nobody uttered a word about women's boxing on here 5 years ago.now you get fans actually debate about it good or bad.that can't be wholly bad surely?

    I’m well aware how woman’s boxing has taken off since 2017 but Hearns constant pushing **** fights as worthy of world titles is joke. Also Bridges should not even get approval from theBBBoC as she has fake tits which are against the rules

    Lol I was cringing so hard reading the comments on Matchroom's LinkedIn announcement about the Parker-Chisora PPV. Have a look there is one bloke who regurgitates the old line about "it's only 20 quid". Utter simpletons, but I don't bother replying because I don't want any of my professional peers seeing that nonsense!

    Hahahaha

    My favourite is "it's the same price as a round of drinks"

    Firstly, that's a very cheap round, I'm all in on that, I'd love to able to get a round of drinks for £20

    Secondly when I buy a round of drinks I don't have to sit with Dave Allen, David Price, Adam Smith, Tony Bellew and the rest of the Matchroom Cult.

    I think it must be deliberate, they have a few stock phrases and approaches they do that they somehow get their audience to repeat.

    "Round of drinks" or "takeaway" is one. That often crops up.

    Hearn criticising people who criticise him or fights as "living in their parents box room wearing Transformers pyjamas" is something I see Matchroom FC types parrot on social media.

    He's very slick and good with the media, so I am convinced he knows what he's doing and it's all deliberate. Sky know their exact demographic through years of market research.

    Hahahaha the old takeaway, I'm surprised they haven't upped the price of a PPV to the average price of a round of drinks.. say around £35?


    Hearn has no right to talk about people wearing anything, he is a man in his 40's dressing like a teenager who is on the spectrum and his best mate Koogs trying to Big him up when everybody takes the pee by saying "that jumper cost £1500.."

    Hearn is a walking midlife crisis, the cheeky mug.


    But you're right, Hearn is a salesman, he says it all the time, he has his techniques and scripted lines, uses stock words and phrases.. "Stacked Card" is wearing a little thin now so he its "Two or Three WORLD TITLE FIGHTS" but not mentioning they are women's.

    I used to defend Hearn quite a bit, I thought some of the criticism was unfair but I can't defend him these days, he is robbing people in my opinion.

    The mental gymnastics this moron does is outrageous.. he says that somebody like Chisora is a PPV fighter because if the numbers are good then he is.

    He also says that Chisora has to be PPV because he earns a certain amount, it is the only way we can afford to pay him and that's the market figure, A FIGURE HEARN HAS INVENTED.

    Chisora pays Hearn to promote him, so the more Chisora earns the more Hearn earns, so its in Eddies interests to tell everybody (including Sky) Chisora is worth millions per fight, same as Whyte, the more they earn the more he earns.

    So it's just one big rob in my opinion.
