FAO Matchroom: Cut the BS in the Build Up to Big Fights

I dont like how WWF some of it has got - but by the same token punches at weigh ins and two fighters scrapping in car parks etc has been going on for years. The TV networks love hype it gives them air time to fill so its hear to stay. When you get a frampton/LSC that doesnt have that panto style to it enjoy it....it takes all sorts.

 

It all depends on the personality of the fighters too. Haye and Bellew are both big talkers so it was always gonna mix well. In contrast, you have Murray fighting Rosado next month which could really do with some hyping up but they're not really like that and are quite respectful. Must be a nightmare for the promoter when two fighters are like that.

 

It's worth noting that Sky take home half of the PPV cost so they ultimately they are driving this narrative as well.

I still have my doubts that PPV is as frequent as it currently is if Joshua was to lose, become injured or leave Matchroom.
