So what? When Hearn behaves that way I will judge him accordingly. The length of time if anything would let you learn, but a lot of the instances are relatively recent.

Well he hasnt been dealing with fighters that long, that's my point.

So the longer you have done something the worse you are allowed to be? Surely it should be the other way around.

Andy Ayling has always come across very badly on here under the pseudonym 'boxingchat'. He hasn't yet realised that you get further by being nice than by attacking people.

Eddie has grown up in and around boxing.
He's served an apprenticeship under the old fella.
That means he is qualiified in my book - not that you need any !
I guess this started as a bit of banter but it is really a step too far with the Watson comparisons.
Promotion Companies are not just about the figure heads. It's about the team and what goes on in the background.
My personal view is that Hearn has the better team and are respectful.
Johnny Wish of Matchroom is one of the nicest and decent blokes in the business but no one shouts or raves about him.
It is just my opinion.
However my favourite saying about Promotors is that they all piss in the same pot.

It would not have been posted if Ryder had won. Hopefully we'll see more fights between Matchroom and Queensbury but I cannot see it myself.

if ryder had landed as many punches on Saunders as he landed on himslef he woudl have won a shut out.
Anyone else notice that habit before he throws a punch he feints and taps himself on the forehead?

Ayling, in his posts on here, comes across as a right pillock, tbh. Both W@rren and him are hardly fans of Boxrec, preferring the fawning bunch over at ESB, who were regularly plugged by Bunce and Lillis.

Not surprised by this, read the first few lines then never bothered with the rest.

Very embarrassing and immature statement,but more importantly, unprofessional.I don't know either party, but it seems that Matchroom try to be businesslike with their press releases. Sadly the other group behave like teenagers when they don't get their way.
I suspect Matchroom may have a solicitor write their statements, while this statement from Ayling looks like it was penned in a rush, with all the grammatical errors.
Did this do him any favours - I suspect not.

I think it is well written and I think Andy did the right thing. Barry gives it the big one on twitter and loves himself a little too much. I like Andy and it looks like Frank and Andy showed their fair share of hospitality on Saturday. I wonder if they would do the same for Frank.

Long live Sports network I say!

spiteful, sardonic, vindictive.

I enjoyed it immensely. shame the Watson comments took it so far beyond the pale, otherwise i thought it contained some lovely lances to the bubble of Teflon Eddie and some of Matchroom's pretensions.

Just read it, and I agree completely with this.

The Paul O'Grady line was a particular highlight.

only in boxing...

Or did i imagine that..

One that should be picked up on by trainers and fighters, making it easy to see the punches coming and counter him.

Jermaine Taylor does the exact same thing

this sport is truly like no other. Silly comment about the Watson bout the rest was all along the right lines as far as piss taking is concerned.

I wouldn't like to be a sports network/ queensbury /FWP / allegedly representative at the next matchroom show.
