    Will this documentary be looking at his involvement in only snooker or will it go into boxing?

    Great bit of tele.

    Barry has done really well, fair play to him.

    How much is he worth then? With the Darts/Boxing & Snooker, he has got to be earning a pretty penny, hasn't he!?

    Great programme.

    Barry is so single-minded and ambitious - nothing could stop him. What a show at White Hart Line.

    I wouldn't mind some Matchroom aftershave.

    Fantastic stuff, thanks. I really enjoyed that!

    How did Jim Davidson get on with Samantha Fox? I bet Barry Hearn tried to sell tickets to that as well.

    Just watched it, pretty good, can't deny the man has achieved a fair bit, and that he has some charisma.

    Really want to believe he is as decent as all the contributors would have you think, but can a man who has stayed at the top of the game for so long in such a notoriously cut throat business really be that decent and honest?

    :think

    Full footage of the fight was taped over apparently by ITV so that's the most complete version you are going to see.

    I was surprised that Barry still seems to control the majority of the business including the boxing, I thought the boxing side of Matchroom was 100% Eddies now.

    I think Barry is still the man even with the Boxing, but Eddie will attract a bigger and younger audience and therefore is the face of it.
