Yup and unsurprisingly Frank didn’t mention Ricky Burns either and Jordan just moved on.

The sad thing is that Jordan will probably think he did give Frank a hard time.
At least Jordan asked him about paying fighters, legal battles and pulled on the Fury fiasco. Most other journos wouldn't have. Lets face it, no matter what Simon asked him, Frank would have a story to cover it.

Yeah - he mentioned it but he claims to give Frank the same hard time he gives Eddie which is rubbish.

He gets into the granular detail of things with Eddie whilst he didn’t really push back on Frank’s answer re: Calzaghe and he didn’t mention Burns at all.

Why did he liquidate Sports Network rather than pay Calzaghe what the court ruling gave him?

Why did he liquidate allegedly Promotions when the court ruled against the company and ordered he pay Ricky Burns?

Frank was also a bit dodgy when it came to Setanta sports - didn't he use liquidation of Sports Network to terminate a deal as he threw his toys out of the pram as they signed a deal with Hayemaker.

To be honest, when I see Simon Jordan - I can only envisage a "claim to fame" drinking game we played with some lasses on a hen party about 10 years ago -and we worked out one of them shagged Jordan and said he wasn't up to much!

Yeah - they are mates. Jordan called him mate during the interview and said that he likes him during the interview.

He shouldn’t then say how he gives Frank and equally hard time when being pushed about how he goes after Eddie when it isn’t true.

Crazy isn't it. :confused:
Sort of thing I’ve seen people get sacked for. Blabbing to people who they shouldn’t be about things that are for that time private and being investigated.

He detests Hearn, there is no way he is balanced. Fair play to Hearn for even going on there, he probably loves it though, always comes out on top.
