Matchroom's Netflix Series

[Ruthless-RKO]

Barry always treated fighters nicely, it seems Fast Car has too, I suppose it was instilled in his learning

He just had that rocky relationship with Ronnie.

Maybe cus he went from being his manager to promoting the whole snooker.

Not saying he didn’t do right by him either.

Just watched the whole lot , (rainy day and bored LOL ) not too bad a watch , It does show something we all know EDDIE IS A DAMM HARD WORKER , HE'S MOTIVATED , AND DETERMINNED he just eats sleeps and breathes matchroom , sometimes i do find the hate for him a bit strange , Ok i think has like any buisnessman he could and would be ruthless but , to my knoledge no one has ever not been paid and had to call lawyers out to see him , and he genuinly does seem to become freinds with a lot of the fighters , course the main thing is make money but heh , he's got a buisness to run has well .

I did find it a bit sad though that his whole being and purpose in life is to impress his dad , admaril in a way but a grown man should'nt have that weight on his shoulders his whole life .

One i sort of felt sorry for was the woman exec , mid 30's does'nt have time to date , no man or kids in her life totaly obsessed with pleasing Barry and becoming a coperate leader , I got the impresion where Barry treats them like familly when he goes Eddiie will not , he would sell the buisness , or even get rid of her in a flash , and too me she's wasted a life , But then again i'm just an old fashioned prick , not got any daughters , and i just want to see all my grandaughters happily married with great kids ,

wonder if Tut Tut is still interested in buying now he's pushing Eddie and Frank to the side a bit and bringing Dana in , Barry was'nt stupid he does'nt trust TUT TUT doubt he'll bow and kiss his arse like Eddie does

Truly sickening scenes in episode 4 which heavily features Conor Benn in various states of self pity. He nauseatingly cries crocodile tears at one point when recalling how close he came to suicide. I didn't believe a word of it.

It's a decent little series overall, obviously most of it is staged and conversations are scripted but you get some nice behind the scenes footage. Eddie comes across fairly well on the whole.

I couldn't watch any scene with benn in. I skipped forward so missed large parts of some episodes. I've never hated someone I don't know before him. A despicable pudendum.

[Ruthless-RKO]

This is what he said...

Benn said during episode 5 of the new Netflix docuseries.
“Being on the brink of suicide.”

“Then having panic attacks in my sleep. Dripping sweat. Scared to wake up or go to sleep.

“I couldn’t cope. I didn’t find comfort in my family. I found extreme failure, extreme responsibility, extreme shame. I was going to end my life, and I came very close to it.

“I was so bad. How did it get so bad?”

Then his partner Victoria, who was tearful added in..
“Me and Conor weren’t even sure if we were gonna make it, just because it was so much and it was intense.

“That’s why I’m so proud of us because of the way we got through it. It’s definitely hard to think about those times and what kind of strain it put on us, our relationship, and our family.”

-----------

It's as if they dedicated some time of the docuseries, to do a bit of damage control on Benn, knowing when it was going to air as well.

I remember when fast Eddie first came on the scene. He was going to change boxing in the UK and we were all so excited and behind him.

But these days he comes across as a horribly self obsessed and duplicitous individual. I'll be giving the show a wide berth.

Yep the bit with Benn was nauseating . he's a real wanker , rich wanker for his age but wanker anyway , i reckon he'll be broke by the time he's 50

Considering how successful Barry is, you rarely hear anybody say a bad word about him.

Not sure about Benn being broke but I don't think he has a long career ahead of him,purely because I think Eddie will match him hard when he really needs to be matched carefully. To be honest I think he is overrated in my opinion

This was the meeting at the end.

So just funding the ‘other’ sports that Matchroom offer.

[punchers chance]

Like others have said, not really a 'fly on the wall' but there was some good stuff.
I also skipped the Connor Benn tears.
I wonder if Eubank Jr really dislikes Matchroom so much or was he just hyping the event? It came across as a bit odd especially with his sister dating Frank Smith. Didn't Senior spend his entire career with Matchroom?
You can see how Matchroom must enjoy running snooker, darts & pool where they control everything versus boxing where every event involving a rival promoter has to be negotiated and events can just fall apart.
I think the bad blood between Eddie and Jake Paul's MVP wasn't faked.
Overall definitely worth a watch

Knowing your love for the Saudi's mate you will be all over that !

Like it or not, this is how it is. Everyone’s selling their sport.
