    I know they love patting themselves on the back for making woman boxing quite prominent (honestly nothing to do with the fact woman boxing purses are much cheaper)

    I am sick and tired of every 3rd fight on any card they have featuring women - the elite women boxers I understand high up on the card but it’s like they are trying to force you to like it.

    not every card has to have woman fights.

    Just a way for Eddie Hearn to save money by billing world title fights on his carfs whilst paying bugger all for them.

    It's terrible.

    It doesn't help that you have people encouraging this circus, even on here. Boggles the mind.

    They’re all crap. I got reeled in for Taylor v Serrano and there was zero skill involved and
    then I got reeled back in for Shields v Marshall and it was even worse. Shields couldn’t crack one of Benn’s eggs and Marshall had the footwork of a pissed up giraffe.

    Never again.

    It's not all matchrooms fault in a sense as its the way the world is now, its a narrative from the mainstream and the networks are owned by the mainstream so they will be telling Eddie to make sure there are women fights on the cards. Hearn won't mind as it saves him a fortune.
    But the woke agenda that is in full force at the moment is causing the issue same with immigration, if you say we don't want anymore immigrants in the county you are a left wing racist same if you don't like women's boxing you are a sexist homophobe.
    Well I must be all of those things, and I don't care.
    Women should be cooking my tea and hooving the living room floor, not throwing hands at some other lass in anger. Let's face it women's boxing is terrible as a spectacle and from a moral social view point, women should not fight.

    Pissed up giraffe, that made me lol

    Side note, it’s funny to see now that Hearn is being respectful to Warren saying he is a ‘very good promoter’. He’s changed his tune with the egg on his face due to their Saudi balls up with fatty Frank Smith ‘negotiating’ with the wrong people, while Warren and Arum get their man his next eight figure purse. When will he learn to shut his mouth.
