    I do enjoy IFL and it is Koogans 'special relationship' that gets him his content with fighters and promoters but he should be a bit more professional and start giving back to the viewers who pay for his holidays and sports cars.

    They claimed recently they got 13.6 million views last week which would pull in more than 10k of ad revenue + whatever sponsorship they get and what they can fiddle on the Matchroom expenses. The very least he could do is buy a basic microphone setup and a HD camera so we don't have to endure his terrible audio/video any longer. Other boxing channels manage this easy enough.

    They need to start being held to account by the viewers and not just given free reign to do whatever they want. Lets face it for Eddie and Frank it's all about control of media there are no friends in business.

    I agree completely, the fact Kugan was offered and didn't even show up the day after Klitschko for an exclusive with AJ, an interview that most of the world would have ripped arms off for is extraordinary.

    His arrogance and attitude is rather shocking.

    Hearn was organising the biggest post-war show put on in Britain, televised by BOTH the biggest US subscription channels, dealing with both the fighters teams and security, managing the undercard, arranging the weigh-ins and God knows what else, and Kugan Cassius dedicates half of an hour long interview with Eddie Hearn a week later to ***** and moan that he wasn't allowed ringside as accredited media?

    The guy seriously needs to get a grip of himself. He's been elevated from a random guy walking around with a camera to owning a successful, lucrative YouTube channel with over 100,000 subs pretty much thanks to Eddie Hearn. A reality check is badly needed by Kugan, because without the good will of Matchroom he'd be working a 9to5 like the rest of us.

    This, a million times over. I always liked Kugan but he seems to take his own standing way too much for granted. The guy needs to get a little more humble. Eddie was far too gentle on him in the interview I thought.

    If that's true then Hearn should sack him off. It's clear his ego has gotten out of control. No one gave a **** if Kugan was at that fight or not. 99% of that crowd would have no idea who he is. Hearn even offered him free tickets ffs and he just didn't bother going at all. The bloke is an idiot.

    I was half expecting him to suggest Hearn should have cancelled the show. No wonder Bernd Bonte didn't want this twat there.

    i think he got the message , he changed his tone throughout the interview ,, He was told and put in his place in a very nice way ,, Suprises me though the lenght that Eddie goes to , in order to protect his image , Its important to him that everyone knows what happenned , , and if Kugan would of left it alone he can do his cockney , wide boy act and sort it ,, He really is a little daddys rich boy , who's desperate to be seen has council and one of the lads .
