    The absolute radio silence from Boxxer since the BBC announcement makes me think the deal in reality is a pig.

    Surely if it was a good deal you'd be bouncing up and down about it

    Yeah it’s almost certainly a deal with a very limited budget isn’t it

    4 shows a year. Nothing more to say.

    All this for barely a 6 figure fee 4 times a year, highly unlikely .

    After the 4 shows ( if it gets that far ) the BBC will dump him and that will be the end of that .

    It wouldn't surprise me if it doesnt even do 1 show.

    Like to me, you get the Clarke vs TKV fight announced as fast as you can

    I think you’ll get at least one or two shows, both parties have done their PR and you’d assume the funding and everything is in place for those. I wouldn’t be shocked if it tails off (whether through poor viewing figures, lack of cash or Shalom getting a different offer elsewhere) and we don’t get all four shows though.

    Surprising news. Must be getting a good percentage of that small BBC budget. Maybe Shalom promised him he'd be a household name on the BBC, maybe it's hard to build a profile on DAZN unless you're fighting a YouTuber these days.

    If Ben would of done his job in the first place Adam would of been a real world champion already, it's due to his poor management Adam still not a known name..

    So at this stage he should of been moving to a top promoter with a world title..

    Look at Azim

    he just oozes superstar. Look at the hair. The beard. He just looks so cool. He's destined to be the best ever Brit in my humble view

    Anyone know what's happening with Ben Whittaker? If he stays with the BBC, I can totally see him on Strictly Come Dancing, he'd be in his element there.
