Obviously someone funds them or pay for their services, otherwise what is the point? And more to the point they would be doing day jobs.
But this is there day job!!!
Saw a tweet over the weekend that matchroom paid for travel and hotel expenses, for ifilm to be in Belfast so I presume that wasn’t a one off.
I don’t think they are on the matchroom payroll, but they obviously to get paid for services.
They don’t have a company number at company house, but I don’t believe they are owned by allegedly or matchroom, more of a affiliate.
I do enjoy the boxing coverage ifilm provide, let’s all be honest they do more for uk boxing then, itv + bbc put together.
Just find it strange how boxing news or bbc haven’t jumped onto the back of what ifilm do and do something similar as surely they would have a bigger budget and a business objective behind doing something similar.
All for ifilm, they are a small team and they can’t cover everything but what they cover is great.
Kugan picked up a recent award in the new year, you would hope someone like Golden Boy or Top Rank invite them over to US to cover a fight.
Someone like Adrian broner and danny Garcia might benefit from a ifilm interview, to build up a following.
A lot of people dislike paulie maganalli, because he fought Hatton and then because of he’s tweets. But on camera he comes across as a good person, if all boxers had that opportunity it would do wonders.
BBC and ITV don’t offer that, ifilm and the power of the web do!
Thanks for the comments. firstly Matchroom Sport have paid the hotel costs for two fights, and the plane travel for one fight and one press conference.
Secondly, they do NOT pay for our 'services'.
Thirdly, was it you that sent an email from 'HMRC' asking for our company number?
and finally, we are not 'owned' by anyone.
