    A little naive to believe he was just telling the short fat chap to get his coat.

    Pug, this isn't racist. You should shut the **** up because when somebody says something racist acting a ***** now could dilute severity of any actual racist **** for some people. Vali ran a taxi firm, telling him to go back to that because he is **** in the boxing biz is an obvious insult. Hearn worked it into a **** off comment as well, fair play to Hearn.

    I think you know all this though and are trolling.

    Seriously, he is very naive and a worse businessman than as-if-i-have-a-clue valley if he reckons a rematch is on the cards.

    A voluntary defence that sky refused to show on PPV and was roundly slated beforehand by fans. A fight that turned out very ****, making no-one want to see it again. In order to se this fight, it'd have to be on a card with other fights to sell a PPV, it's a waste of khans time in that he can earn so much more fighting some one else, as the main fight

    He was slagging Vali off because he went from running a taxi firm to trying to manage the career of a world class boxer and is doing a bit of a **** job. Basically he was telling him to go back to what he's good at. There was **** all racist about it, he could have said the same thing to a person of any race.

    Certainly matchroom are a good outfit, eddie is part of a team.

    I like him but he's getting a lot of bumlicking on here, no doubt many of the same posters will slate him terribly at some point for something minor.

    If he is such a great businessman...how come his prediction of the PPV sales was so horribly off...?

    If Hearn keeps talking about a rematch, it keeps McCloskey's name out there...

    I think it's more to do with bumping up Paul McC's profile and future prospects then hoping to get a rematch.

    Edit: Wallet beat me to it.
