£500 to knock down Yassine El Maachi in sparring

Did he? Shame, I was looking forward to that one :-(

 

Tony , is Hall Vitu off then ???....

 

So El Maachi was given three weeks notice?

 

gutted the hall fight is off. El maachi is a hype job.

 

lol maybe he didnt wanna fight on a warren card, maybe he has some principles.

But the Hall fight would have really shown him for what he is, if Witter fought Judah on 12 days notice, i'm sure El-Maachi could fight Hall, although i'd picture a Bradley Price style KO for again.

 

I'm sure he could too, but if he wants full preperation for what would be the biggest fight of his life he's entitled to it.

 

He only fought 3 weeks ago and is scheduled to fight next month anyway so he should be fit enough :good

 

Would you send your top prospect into the toughest fight of his life, on another promoters card, at 3 weeks notice?

 

I'd love to be given the opportunity mate, but sadly not got a stable of fighters.

But a win over Hall on a televised card would have really got his name out there.

 

Exactly.

If he's that good, stick him in.

If he isn't, then zip it

Losing to Matt Hall is nothing at all to be ashamed of, if he wins he'd be straight in the title picture.

 

You've got a new promotional firm trying to make a name for themselves and you're expecting them to chuck their top prospect into a fight he'll probably lose anyway, on another promoters show all at three weeks notice.

It's nonsensical.

 

Yeah.

a. He's got nothing to lose getting beat off Hall
b. He's the one mouthing off trying to get any exposure by saying he'll fight anyone anywhere and whoever beats him/KO's him bags themselves £15k. Someone's come'a'knocking now and he should put up or shut up.

Who seriusly believes he beat Hall either FFS. He's limited as **** and they're trying to get exposure by coming out with ridiculous challenges like this.

 

Well they should shut up with all this 'bounty' garbage then if thats the case

There wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't for the fact that it's Goodwin Promotions and El Maachi calling everyone and anyone out

 

They do go too far I agree, but Hennessey get's slated for doing the opposite, it seems like some people can't win regardless.

If I was a fighter, I'd rather be over promoted than under.

 

Possibly.

There's nothing wrong with a bit of promotion and yeah Hennessey is an idiot but this kind of 'bounty' that they have placed on El Maachi's head is a bit much considering he's done pretty much nothing in the game and someones offered to take it up and they've refused.
ESPECIALLY since a good performance on a massive card infront of possibly 20,000 spectators and tens of thousands of TV viewers would go no-end to promoting El Maachi and would help Goodwin Promotions ten-fold in the future
