Comments Thread For: Matchroom CEO Responds To Joshua Buatsi, Claims of Inactivity

[MulaKO]

I don’t get why Matchroom and Slow Eddie like to keep many of their fighters on the shelf ?
To then offer us in-house fights which are useless for their careers
Buatsi and Okolie imo should of been promoted like crazy

Well I wished they would have used their budget to pay those weak inbreds from running up in the Capitol building on Jan 6th because they don't get anymore woke than that!

Amazing that the term “woke” is being used by British right wingers isn’t it. A term that comes from circa 1920s foundational black Americans in their response to staying aware of what could get them killed during the Jim Crowe apartheid era…a term now being used in place of “political correctness” by the alt right in the usa and oddly in the U.K. by the national front/edl/Britain first crowd

Every British fighter should leave Matchroom as soon as possible. ALL of them are being kept out of the ring. Not so for those in North America. When the North American is active and ready to go, this is the time Eddie will make the fight with the Brit who is at their worst. Why? Because he needs to sell sell sell in North America and they don't want to see their fighters losing all the time. Eddie is actually helping them and f3cking over his fellow Brits to save his company. He's appeasing them by doing this. Problem is, it's across the board and too obvious now. Only someone dumb and blind can't see it. The consistency of it makes it impossible to be by coincidence. It's all by design.

British fighters should get with Sky, get back to their best, THEN ask Eddie for those fights. Watch he and his fighters back away like what happened with Sunny Edwards and Martinez. If Sunny was inactive, that fight would have been made in an instant. But he's not with Eddie so he can't control his activity level.

Matchroom has been copping alot of flak lately, as has DAZN.

They both started out well with Eddie Hearn appearing to be a bona fide boxing fan first, business man second; however the Conor Benn scandal smeared him badly, and he is the face of both outfits whether he wants to be or not.

I always believe the worst promoter is PBC, but comparing every promoter and channel with them sets a very low standard.

Matchroom need to make a couple of high profile bouts.

I withdrew my membership from DAZN after they increased the monthly from $4 to $17, and introduced PPV in GB and the US on top of that. Now they are going to partner with Sky?

They are going to shed customers faster than they can handle if they keep this up.

that's actually pretty funny

Yea, it's "funny" because it's true.
