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.
