    It’s just greed. He didn’t learn anything from Brook’s career and how Matchroom ruined it. Brook should be out there now with other the other WWs getting big fights now.

    I don’t even know what’s wrong with Kelly. I just hope his career isn’t over before it started. Both Rison and Cheeseman aren’t even ready for the big stage but he threw them out there to the wolves.

      Hearn hyped the hell out of the Lomachenko fight with Campbell and the fight bombed. Campbell on his own can get 50k buys in Yorkshire if he’s promoted by a pig.

      Both flopped - no excuses.
      Whyte did well vs Chisora and Parker no doubt. But I didn't expect anything difference from the Rivas PPV.

        He had Pricey vs Dave Allen and Chisora vs Spizkla on the same card. And the trio have big local followings in the UK, yet he did almost 200k less than the Chisora fight.

          Sure he had them on the UC, but not the same as fighting Chisora. That fight had crazy hype/beef.

          I mean if you want to say boxing in the UK is slipping a bit, you would be correct. Damn near all the top names fought outside of the UK in 2019.

            Chisora has always been a local draw on his own due to his antics. Del Boy has his own fan base of nutters. Match him up against any solid boxer and he’ll do decent numbers.
