    Buatsi doing BT punditry was surprising, got me thinking, I wonder how many fights he has left with Matchroom.

    I think you’ve got to tbh, he couldn’t deal with a basic 1-2 last night, I think it also goes to show the guy who taught you how to fight in the amateurs can’t always teach you how to fight in the pro’s.

    Fletcher basically sparred for 6 rounds and you can’t really take anything from the Moses fight, I think he’ll have a few of them this year.

    I think Frank blew the budget on the main event, I reckon he probably lost money on this card tbh.
    Someone on Boxing24forum was saying Yarde and Beterbiev got $900k between them for this fight, surely that can't be right?

    Buatsi needs to move if he's not getting the Bivol fight.

      Yeah that’s BS, I reckon Beterbiev got at least 7 figures alone.

      Frank said in an interview this fight ate up a significant portion of the BT budget.

        Yeah I would’ve thought Yarde would be paid well considering he allegedly got offered a mil for Buatsi by DAZN and turned it down presumably on Frank’s advice that his next (proper) fight would be Beterbiev. Probably £500-700k?

          That was just bluster for Hearn I think, I don’t think they’ll put Buatsi anywhere near Yarde. They can afford a loss to Bivol, they can’t afford a loss to a domestic rival

          You’re probably on the money likely depends on what the structure of his deal was too, he sold a lot of tickets so I’d assume he got a cut of that.

                Sniffing lines off a table? I wouldn’t exactly call that having blast.

                I think it’s sad it got leaked was what I meant.

                  A literal blast. Yeah, he got some trash people around him.

                    Yeah it’s rat behaviour, complete ******ity from Brook too as he obviously became aware that they were filming him.

                    If he does comeback, I doubt Sky will still be interested. Ricky Hatton got dropped for the same thing.
