    The Eddie and Frank thing is boring and cringe

    The conflict was never entertaining, it just made fights more difficult to make.

    The subsequent love-in is cringe. Good fights are being made, that's enough. I don't care about either of them particularly, these side by side interviews are just weird.

    5 vs 5 is obviously marketing. What actually matters is the quality of the fights, the promoters involved are unimportant.

    If you don't care about them then why do you watch them?

    It is bothers you it's very easily avoidable.

        As a US guy I was never invested in the Warren vs Hearn rivalry like UK guys have been for decades, but I find promoters being homies a good thing.

        And not gonna lie I quite enjoyed the Eddie vs Frank janga game video they did a few wks ago lol. And the Riyadh 5 vs 5 video with them is fantastic. I haven't paid too much attention to the rest of it.

          I don't mind it though am happy to see that they can get a long. This only means fights are able to be made more so than before between both sides. That is only a better thing for boxing. Clearly you can tell here, money talks. It appears that it took a crazy amount of money that nobody else could offer to get these promoters to be on the same side. Had it not been for Turki at this point, would we have ever seen Frank and Eddie get along to put on fights together? Hard to tell.

            It was never really Eddie v Frank, it has always been Barry v Frank.
