Matchroom v allegedly ??

Post by JamieM »

What has better value for money? How can bellew v clever be PPV but chisora v fury and BJS v eubank jnr not be? Also BN has the better international fights! What everyone else think? Matchroom a bit one sided and a lot of decent scraps on BN.

Allegedly for me. Better bill on the night in my opinion, more 50/50 fights off what we know & assuming the cards hold together.

allegedly easily for me thats £12 a month my Sky Sports is like £20 odd plus PayPerView for half decent fights (thats how it seems now).

To be honest even if both were the same price and on boxing content alone I'd say allegedly. May not have as much domestic stars but atleast they tend to be in better fights.

The Fury/Chisora bill is better, but it's only the international coverage that holds BN together, the rest of FW's cards by the time the first bell rings are worse than Matchroom's, and at a generally lower level.

Frankie comes across as a total nob head
Eddie comes across as a sound man who you would gladly go for a pint with
Frankie fighters are leaving him going to Eddie but
Frankie does put on the more competitive fights and Eddies cards are all very one sided.

the only headliner I can remember getting beat was paul mcckloskey (im sure there is others).

The tipping point for me is that BNation show a large number of world title fights from outside the UK that all get shown free and usually live. Huge bonus.

allegedly is a bargain if you are a boxing fan. Pretty much every other month they show a fight that is ppv in America and was cost you $50+ on its own plus all the other coverage.

Hearn has the better stable and when he announces a show it more or less holds together. However I think you get better fights with frank. Fwank is due a bit of luck, with his domestic shows. You just cannot grumble with the overseas action on his channel. To their credit they don't try to con subscribers with quantity over quality, you get the biggest names and fights.

The Liverpool show coming up is certainly on a par if not better. The Fury v Chisora exceeds anything in terms of even money fights!

I'm not really sure how you can compare the two.

One is a boxing promoter and the other runs a dedicated boxing channel.

Hearn is a much better promoter but the volume of overseas fights on allegedly is excellent.

It`s a shame you didn`t answer the question,I`m not talking about shows which has been announced(the Hull card and Liverpool card is about even)I`m talking about what has actually happened this year.When you said by recent form I thought you meant shows which have happened.I give Wazza credit.the show on the 29th if it holds together is potentially all round the best show of the year,however most of his promotions this year have been Skeete/Bugiloni headling the York Hall,those shows certainly don't piss on what Matchroom have been providing.

Can't put the section I want in bold but it's the bit from however onwards

There's been 3 York Hall shows this year
Every single one of them pisses all over prizefighter

Correct me is I`m wrong,but I think we have only had one Prizefighter this year and that also had Ryder fighting against Wilson in an eliminator I think.They have cut down to 3 a season according to Hearn which I don`t mind especially if we get a have decent 10 rounder on it as well.Take the one Prizefighter out of the equation do you believe the shows Wazza has put on pisses over the Matchroom shows this year?.I`m not Hearn`s biggest fan but to say so is pretty laughable imo
