Surely Kugan being so close to Eddie will see him lose the confidence of other promoters. If I was Warren for example I'd be thinking about not giving them press accreditation or interviews.

I used to like Ifilm. but the self congratulatory, pointless Adam Booth shit grates a bit. Wastes everybodys time.

no1 seems to want to get to the meat and 2 veg when it comes to boxing interviews.

He is bang close to Eddie isn't he, its tough for him I think as it seems they have become good mates. I think that other kid Kugan does IFilm with handles the other promoters mostly (from how it looks).

I think long term it can't be too damaging to side with Matchroom anyway, can only see them getting bigger and ultimately having all the best fighters.

They do it for free to be fair so why not plug Eddie as it's his mate. They give plenty of coverage to Warren and team to be fair, and he gets on well with Fwank.

Carl can be established as can Quigg, the same way Benn and Eubank were. A few close decisions/draws do no harm to eachothers careers! Neither beats Rigondeux tho!

I kow what you mean but you have to take into account that as far as I know he does it for love and nothing else so it's up to him what he says during the interview I guess. So you have to cut him some slack. What else would I do when I'm having a poo? Ifilm London makes some good boxing interviews to watch whilst pushing through my kebab meat from the night before :OhYes:

Agree with this 100% - annoying when my wife is banging on the door wondering who I'm talking to, so I use headphones now.

Going off topic a bit but I would love to do what Ifilm London do, in fact I would say it's up there in dream jobs. Going round interviewing boxers and then going ringside for each show. However, to not get paid means it is not something I could do so Kugan most have a big bank account to self fund himself, fair play.

From the last interview Eddie was in discussions with the Geale camp.

Give Kugie a break, he is simply hinting that a big fight has been made - and then he gets criticised for it.

He'll read this and then think "f*** it, i wont bother hinting next time".

I think I know who it is, having heard from the other side, and if it's now done, then it will please a few people.

I reckon it will be Barker going with Daniel Geale. Daniel Geale is supposedly due to have a mandatory defence against fellow Australian Sam Soliman who beat (a perhaps fading) Felix Sturm over in Germany in a IBF eliminator however there is contraversy of Soliman's B sample from the post fight drugs test which is still on going so Geale has been given permission to have a voluntary defence until the situation with Soliman has been cleared up.

You reckon? More likely he'll think "awesome, more free advertising on Boxrec"

I think the ifilm videos appeal to a certain audience. They are entertaining but not particularly insightful, as I don't think the two guys who do the interviews have a massive knowledge of the sport.

They also seem to overreact to any criticism if you look at their comments on the vids etc which can be a bit of putting. However you have to give them credit for the amount of shows the cover etc. It's also a bit of light hearted fun aside from the norm.

As for the world title for another matchroom fighter - looks like JCC jr is after Murray so Geale v Barker could be a good shout.

Who ever it is they will be fighting on an away card if it's a decent belt holder

He doesn't like stumping up the cash Eddie

Geale has stated in the past that he would like to fight here in the UK which might make it an easier to make if it is Darren Barker getting the title shot.

Barker v Geale would be a very good boxing match.

They do a cracking job I think. Yeah ok the Adam Booth thing is getting a bit repetitive but that's the only gripe (if you can call it that) I have with the guys (and gals if there are any women in there.) Yeah he seems to do a lot of interviews with Eddie Hearn however Hearn seems to be the guy at the mo who has boxing shows on every few weeks. They seem to give coverage to the other promoters when they have televised shows on too so I don't think it is favouritism at all but just it can appear like that because Hearn has more shows on at the mo.

Ironically enough I have just checked their youtube channel out and today they have done an interview with Mr Warren.

Keep up the good work I say.

I like the insight and pressers/ weigh in's for the ones I cannot get to.

The banter with Bunny and Eddie Hearn is good aswell.

Good for boxing IMO
