    He's currently one of the top promoters in the World. I can see him either staying at the top for decades, or trying too much and burning out.

    You've got to say he's absolutely brilliant at what he does.
    Of course he over hypes and cons the casuals but that's his job, to maximise the income of himself and his fighters.
    As a boxing fan I get irritated with some of the bull**** he spouts and the PPV's he's managed to get away with.
    You've got to say though, present day he's the man.

    He does the 1% things better than everyone else, that’s what makes him different!

    He knows the boxers, he knows their family’s, he takes time to understand where they have come from and he respects their journey to get where they are! Watch the videos of him being interviewed in the corridors of the gym, he greets every boxer with sincerity and takes a moment to show his interest in them, even those not signed to Matchroom or those who are training to fight a Matchroom fighter.

    On the business front he makes his cut but doesn’t lose sight of the fighters being the main earners, he ensures they are well paid. Beyond that his fighters have their futures sorted for them with advisors who help these young fighters set their lives up so they’re not left destitute when it’s all over.

    The rest is salesmanship, film flam but that’s the business he’s in and he does that well too.

    Look behind the curtain and you’ll find a good man and a decent human being

    12:34 #ALL TICKETS SOLD OUT IN LESS THAN 3 SECONDS... RECORD TIME!!!

    12:35 #TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE ON STU*HU*!!!

    just another promoter fleecing mugs dues to lax consumer protection law enforcement and gullible idiots who couldnt care less anyway. as usual the end result is boxing fans end up getting shafted the most.

    Best promoter in the game

    Best looking promoter in the game

    Best dressed promoter in the game

    Most debonair and urbane promoter in the game

    Basically he's everything that Art Garfunkel/fat tortoise hybrid looking uncoth pot-bellied slob dressed in teenage boy's clothing Lou Dibella isn't.

    I still have it...

    1. Serge
    2. Ed Hearn

    …at the moment but Hearn is mightily impressive and even Serge knows Serge needs to stay at the top of Serge's game or young Ed could catch him in the GHTEL rankings.

    :lol: Thanks man and I couldn't agree more. E-Hearn is like Serge-lite. That said, his rise to the top has been pretty meteoric and I always keep an eye out for the young hungry lions trying to make a name for themselves coming up behind me. If he gets too big for his boots I'll slap him back down indefinitely to York Hall level lol

    Both of the below;

    One of the best promoters at the moment
    They’re all shady he will come and go

    He is just upto date and modern, the others have no backing and are over the hill.
