    Because Matchroom was built by fighters who have been in good domestic scraps over the years and entertained the fans, whilst being limited to that sort of level, just as much as fighters who have made it to the top.

    Don't think it is fair to take an opportunity for these sorts of fighters to get themselves on the telly away from them to be replaced with Olympians fighting foreign club fighters.

    With ITV, Dave, Channel 5, Bt/Box nation there is plenty of places for fighters to go. Sky tend to want to be the 'top level' of sports not near top.

    Eddie himself said Burns/Crolla have overachieved based on their potential to win world titles, under his current criteria he would have turned both away. A lot to be said about living the right life and training hard

    Because they can’t spread themselves too thin, they already have a vast number of fighters under their promotion.

    There stable is so weak compared to their main rivals, they should be trying to close the gap.
