Why would he drop him? Buglioni's popular.

What does developing his career long term mean? Lots of rubbish opponents?
The only reason Buglioni got signed was because he beat Eddies fighter last out...reminds me of Don king back in the day. Walking out with the champ, walking back with the winner. Eddie loves a pound note more than ever and although he makes out he is mates with all his fighters you will soon see that they will turn on him.

Rumours are there are a few fighters get peed off thats all I'm saying. End of Horse, have a good day pal

Top bloke is Frank, met him at the BJS Lee fight, I'm a boring c4nt but he still took the time to have a little chat.

It seems as though he's plateaued and as such his best bet of increasing his earning potential is probably to switch promoters. Good luck to him.

Had Lenny Daws beat a Matchroom fighter in his last fight he wouldn't have been signed with the greatest of respect to him. Likewise countless others who don't bring to the table what Buglioni does. The title fight was a purse bid situation anyway so options couldn't have been on the table meaning the two parties have sat down and agreed something. I'm sure Buglioni knows what he is signing up to.

I expect him to be used on a lot of Joshua under cards if he keeps winning. Hardly being locked up in some gulag and left to starve.

He knows that his last fight was his very best but can be a great support for those fringe main bill events with the likes of Chisora and Whyte headlining it. Sorry Frank but Eddie will bleed you dry for 4 fights then release you. Prove me wrong and win a world title but just make sure you get paid well while Eddie uses you

In fairness mate, Eddie is using him but FB is also using Eddie , its his job, he is a pro Boxer .

Its like saying , my boss at work is using me to my job.... I do my job to get paid

Is FB ever going to be a world champ? No , so what is wrong with signing with Matchroom? What is Matchroom not going to do for him that other promoters would?
I guess I get fed up of seeing promoters use and abuse fighters but your comment above is true its all business I guess. Sad really as I think boxing should be more than that as its a game that can kill you....seen a few boxers of matchroom have not a penny to their name but matchroom happily used and abused them years gone by
I deffo see what you are saying mate, Also I'm not saying Eddie/Matchroom are saints , they are far from it.
