    Oh dear, oh dear. Using regular belts to try and make Hearn & matchroom look better.

    What did you make of Hearn's American shows this year & the upcoming Andrade/Akavov Bill?

    Regular shows were pretty shitty
    Thing is no other promotion is working to keep Matchroom on their toes
    So some cards came across better than they should have done

    PPVs were bang average with the Whyte Parker one amazingly being the best one of the yesr
    We are now relying on David Price and Dave Alan propping up cards

    **** year to be honest. Lack of NxtGen shows which I was enjoying the year prior.

    Also a huge lack of the cards like Ryder vs Sirotkin, which I always enjoy a lot more. On that card you had Cheeseman vs Byfield, Doyle vs Gill, Chamberlain vs Watkins, Felix Cash, MJ Ward and a few others.

    Not the best year for Matchroom, they have been spread pretty thin and quite a few fighters have been fed to people in America for a keep busy fight.

    2019 isnt starting much better from what i can see but this is the bar so many people are gleefully paying for
