Thing is if it was me id happily take a pay cut to be on terrestrial tv watched by millions than stuck on an obscure subscription channel. Im sure about year or so back Degale said something of the sorts when asked about boxing not being on terrestrial tv.
Yes! it's one thing doing a boxer out of money, but doing us (The fans) 6 month contract, what if the company went tits up, what will happed to our money? atsch
Gotta be honest was well excited by Eddie Hearn, but honestly what has he done?? Other then prizefighter of course, been very disapointed with what he has offered. Least FW has exciting fights from time to time, dont remember ever being excited by a matchroom card.
I don't get the Hearn love, to be blunt. He's a nice bloke, but he put Audley in with Haye - that was largely from his relationship with Sky. It wouldn't have happened otherwise. What else has he achieved? Froch was already in the S6, Barker had no chance against Martinez and hasn't got anything good lined up... what else?
I think many like that he's riled Frank, must say i do enjoy it . Hearn's good, it's gonna take time but he's got a lovely little stable of fighters when you think about it.. Brook Barker Froch Ryder Rees Frampton McCloskey Can't even remember all names, but it's a vibrant and talented group. Some will become world champions at some point IMO. Eddie will add to this core group i'm sure and he's got a few youngsters who have turned over as well.
Degale really is between a rock and a hard place, even his best win pales in comparison to what Groves did to the exact same person, didnt look impressive in his last fight, does not have the right trainer to bring along his game and now his trying his hand at career suicide, good luck Degale because your'e going to need it without Frank on your side.
