Like others said, you can't really complain about the work done at IFL tv, great contain.
The only issue is the sensitivity of Kugan when a valid and constructive criticism is made in the comment section.

That's what I was trying to say in a nutshell. Unfortunately in this day and age, phrases like "hater" and "negative energy" have ruined an entire generations ability to communicate constructively.

Someone earlier complained they didn't give Hearn stick about the July 9th thing? Kugan pretty much said 'what the fu ck are you playing at' almost word for word to Hearn in the post fight interview in the corridor after Joshua won. Then in the interview in the Matchroom offices a few days later he pretty much again says, I think that daft, Barry what do you think? And Barry Hearn then says 'I'm all for competition but that sounds like not the best idea.
He does call Hearn up on things, especially the July 9th thing. Kugan is pally with Hearn, but he is as friendly with everyone, and I think it's fine. He gives boxing some great exposure, and you get some fantastic feature length interviews with Frank and Hearn. I think there's more work with Hearn as Matchroom seem to be more active, and have more shows on. He tries not to take sides too much (although he is a Joshua fan - as are many).
Long may their work continue.
