    Brandon Lee has signed with them.

    Didn't he fight once on a QP card in the UK and look quite average

    Yes, my point was what is being supported (they have the freedom to support it too) is the usurping of longstanding industries your not happy with.

    And the insiders will tell you LIV golf has been an unmitigated disaster, most top LIV players cant wait to move back and play proper golf, but they had to take the money while it was on offer, boxing will be no different imo.

    You can't just change a sport completely and expect it to take over from its predecessor.

    Benn now being interviewed and claiming part of the reason he owes Matchroom nothing is because they wouldn't pay his father's business class flights :risas3:

    Cmon Regis, do us all a huge favour

    I don't know if it's that God awful peroxide blonde that looks like grey hair, but he looks like an old man now

    Catterall is a huge hypocrite, gives it the big one on his podcast like he's the moral authority and expert on all things and then when he meets the subjects of his criticism he sucks up to them.

    I understand things are pre-scripted and he's keeping himself in work but you can't have it both ways.

    I hadn't seen that in my original post. Fair play to him for accepting the criticism, moving forward he's going to have to change his approach to a more challenging one to keep any credibility. Let's see how he does on the next one....

    Is this not the easy way out?

    Give it the biggun, play the game when you interview the guy, then post on socials to make it look like you have humility?

    Fair play holding his hands up but it's too late now.
    Little rat Conor has sailed through that interview thinking he's god's number one disciple rather than the cheating bang average little scrote he is.

    You'd have thought Catterall was interviewing an all time great fighter watching that interview.
    People in 25 years saying watching his fight against Eubank was best night of their lives FFS...
