    Good to see Eddie being honest only thing I will say is people gave you stick when you say there is no bigger fight out there. And he won't get the bigger pay day. You are then proved wrong and people will rightly tell you.

    Kick in the nuts for Eddie but opens up for another big fight 2016. AJ VS Haye ???

    Agreed on the honesty. But let's be honest, he's run out of excuses.

    I get the "I'm a British promoter who wants to put on fights here" - Then listen to him mention Bradley coming here, he looks like he's going to cry! :lol::lol:

    All about next year for Kell, I suppose. Zzzz.

    Haye vs joshua in 2016? i doubt it if they arent even confident in taking the charles martin fight that was offered to them... and martin is an easy fight

    He doesn't come across as very sincere when he talks about getting a big fight/going stateside tbh. Kell needs to sack him off. He's basically admitted he's only interested in making fights in Britain.

    thought it was refreshing to see eddie saying if kell has to travel to make the big fights then they will do it.

    eddie looks really gutted in this video, for me it looks like he will want to bounce back with something big.

    I understand his point about how he wants to please sky sports by having a big fight in the UK. As UK fans its better if we could get the big fights here.

    British boxing needs the huge fights.

    just really difficult as these guys wont come here. Take porter for example, if he beats thurman dont think for one minute that al haymon would allow him to fight kell in a rematch over here.

    Agreed.

    His greed is causing Kell's career to stagnate, IMO.

    Well what else was he going to say? He has no choice but to travel.

    Eddie's had around 18 months to get one big name over and has failed. And the only other UK name that would create a mega-fight has jilted him.

    I think Hearn is losing Kell and knows it.

    If Kell has any brains at all he'll go to the states after this mandatory has been dealt with. If not, the rest of his career will be down the toilet.

    but before hearn has never talked about having kell travel. my point was its refreshing to see hearn actually starting to accept it.

    Hearn knew he'd have to travel, but he can't do anything but say it now. I mean he was hardly going to lie and not say it, was he?

    Hearn needs to change his business model as it's dependent on your rival being world class and if not, you only go so far until you HAVE GOT to travel to face THE BEST.

    Kell will leave now he knows he can't get the Khan fight. You watch.

    Exactly

    As for pleasing sky sports they would be happy if Kell faced either Thurman, Bradley, Pac and Garcia in the States Hatton did it yes it would not attract the amount of fans going over but would still be big. I am starting to think Eddie doesn't fancy the above mentioned with Kell and was desperate for Khan. Amir knew that and asked for silly money. Eddie Hearn had this plan of staging mega fights at wembley every year between uk fighters he gets the majority of the money but reality is the best fighters are mainly in the states.

    Kell should fight March then go USA with or without Hearn

    Hearn is deluded if he thinks he can get Bradley over here if he beats Pacquiao.

    Hearn looked like Alan Partridge after his autobiography got pulped in that video.
