Probably didn’t want to win the bid as matchroom loves taking slice of pie without putting in the work unless its a cash cow
Long gone are the days where Matchroom over bid on fights Tbh it's rare they did even years back Tbf to them over losing to Fresh, they made a very good bid that Fresh beat by paying over the odds
Yeah, that is true, you make a good point. Also, very few people thought Smith would beat Matias, especially by KO, so there must have been a discussion at Matchroom about getting Matias over to the UK for huge money, just to see Smith get stopped. Crocker falls into the same bracket, really. He's one of the weakest world champions in the sport at the moment, and Paro has every chance of beating him quite comfortably. But still, you'd think they'd try and get it in Belfast and give Lewis home advantage.
