Round-by-Round: Kaisy Khademi vs Ijaz Ahmed - 27 February 2021

' Yeah, it was a good show. Some 50/50 fights for the fans and a chance to see some of our great prospects coming through. Look, we do what we do best, that's bringing young talent through to winning titles. We don't rely on big names to fill our shows just good quality match ups '

I haven't seen his latest interview but I guarantee it'll be something like this that won't be challenged by IFL or anyone else. The worse show ever televised, quality wise. If BT's budget for this show was anything more than a couple of hundred quid, they're the biggest mugs of all. This makes next weeks Matchroom show look like the Thriller in Manilla. It's not just about the fighters getting a payday, it's supposed to be entertainment. The viewing figures must have been tiny. An average MTK show with no UK TV is way better than this whatever the motivation behind it.

I was thinking about it after last night’s show - is FW still the number 2 promoter in the U.K. or has now been overtaken by MTK?

Yes - he has a piece of Fury but he was unable to get a U.K. fight sorted for him in December and last night’s show will be his only one up to the end of March.

MTK had a good show last week with McComb vs Gwynne and have others lined up including the Frampton world title fight.

The Fury partnership is going to be worth so much for him. If the two fighters are going to be sharing £100mill as is being rumoured then even if Frank has nothing out of the promotional side then he’s still going to be making a percentage of Fury’s £50 million. Most promoters it’s 20% I think if you fight on another persons show, given Fury has Arum as well it may not be 20% but even if it’s just 10% that’s 5 million quid.

I’d go as far as to say it may be the only thing keeping the old fella going.

Your probably right although Fury will get to a point where he’ll question what FW has done to be worth £5m. AJ has his own deal with Sky, why couldn’t Fury have his own deal with BT?

Fury wanted to fight in the U.K. in December yet FW couldn’t get that done for him.

It may have got some viewers purely because Tommy Fury was on Love Island but agree that FW will likely say something like you’ve said.

We all know the show was crap but I was still surprised by the lack of promotion for it even before the Cacace fight was cancelled. Very little promotion on social media (particularly when compared with what Matchroom have done recently).

[markinmidd]

I enjoyed main event, Mtk always put on good few evenly matched contests. Said that for ages .hard tho for promoter when there dropping like flies with Covid .

Think Heaney will get chinned when he moves up. Good offence but leaves himself wide open with his chin up.

As a Stokie myself, am I being biased in thinking Heaney might get a English Title? Probably not British though

[handsofstone]

I seen something on Twitter saying Tommy Fury fight peaked at 1.9 million , blows everything else from weekend out the water, Ryan Garcia can only dream of those numbers

On BT Sport? No wonder they’re matching him with bums. I didn’t realise he was such a huge name

Wow. If that’s true it’s staggering.

[Frostieballs]

This makes next weeks Matchroom show look like the Thriller in Manilla.

This made me chuckle out loud!

Who’s the source? Sounds like BS to me.

[margaret thatcher]

ya, who is the source and how would they know is always good to ask when it comes to twitter claims

cuz literally i could create an account on there and claim something else right now

i could also spread horrible falsehoods, such as 'jamamb wasnt a goat poster"

Yeah I think he can do English. Just needs to tighten his defence up. And tuck his chin in !

[handsofstone]

Yeh it may very well be bollocks, there are a few people talking about it though

[handsofstone]

Well turns out it was a spoof


Tyson Fury believed it and even tweeted about it today

Would have meant about half of the people who watched Love Island paid for BT and tuned in for it!

[maverick23]

I’ve just seen the tweet from the guy who started the rumour

He even said on Thursday that he was going to make up a load of boxing viewing figures so people can argue about it.

Some of the numbers literally made me laugh out aloud - particularly when he argued with someone who questioned his numbers on the IFL show on YouTube that actually shows the views.

[jameswilson]

Yeah I remember when Hughie Fury v Parker was made for youtube. I was like this will be good as youtube literally says how many people are watching/have watched.

Suffice to say the numbers weren't high.

[dookus]

I was watching and remember it peaking at around 8,500

Claressa Shields is fighting PPV this weekend, im fascinated what the numbers will be, she's vile, reckons she should be earning Canelo type money for her achievements, she can't seem to grasp the concept of earning what your worth or what you can negotiate

[margaret thatcher]

lol ya, on a 'her-storic' all woman ppv. oh lawd

Be good if he does get a English Strap, although his fights are a nightmare to watch with all the football lot in attendance

"this a five rounder mate"

[Goodz]

Frank has made a lot of weak signings lately. Definitely quantity over quality. Im guessing he must be signing them all on short term deals having a look at them and quicklydiscarding a lot of them

Khademi on his Queensbury debut lost.
Akbaar on his debut looked poor and pillow fisted against a journeyman
Heaneys probably just been signed cause hes a ticket seller, british title is his ceiling I think.
