Its sky /Matchrooms own fault but folk will continue to buy it as longs as its hyped.

Agreed - good post.

If you regularly put fighters on PPV, whether it is AJ or Dave Allen, you have to pay more for the opponents as well as for the home fighter.
You can't make punters pay for PPV then expect fighters to take small hall money.

It's nuts - the likes of Dave Allen goes on about being on big PPV shows etc. but he boxes at 4 o'clock!

Matchroom surely know that they have created an unsustainable model, but they are not bothered and want to make as much money as possible in the meantime - and at the moment this includes keeping Aaaaaayyyyy jaaaayyyyyy unbeaten.

I am 100% sure that AJ, Fury and Wilder would all love to fight each other - but I can't see AJ fighting either of them.

I would love it if the Fury vs Wilder saga continued till 2020 - Kevin Keegan voice

But in all honesty if AJ wants to be best in his era hw has to make an = split!!!

So i always payed above the going rate , which at the time was about $25 dollars an hour , I would'nt hesitate to poach good tradies , from others , and my rate of $35 p/h $10 p/h more plus the gaurantee of plenty of work was always sufficient .

I did have on occasion guys come back to me and say , we want more , , and my answer was always , go back to your old job , and see if they will pay you more than i do , people just get greedy its nature , , Eddie is'nt stupid he knows the figures . In any case i doubt that its matchroom being ackward , AJ is the boss they work for him . Eddie gets payed to take the flak

You just imparted some real knowledge - I guess being a promoter involves taking stick from a silly business analyst like me haha!

When your in charge or a director of matchroom , a company worth probably a Billion dollars , I don't think taking a bit of stick of anyone on an internet forum is a problem to them , we are what we are , just boxing fans , who have a hour or two to pass and do it reading and commenting on sites like this , but overall were irrelevant , and probably a source of amusement to them , Lol ,,, but it beats reading the Beano

A billion dollars lol no chance u can believe that

Well obviously i'm not there accountant so would;nt know the truth , really i just repeated what i herd Eddie say in an interview , when he said they get offers all the time to buy matchroom , , but heh go buy a buisness with turnover in the 100's of millions , and profit in the millions , with secure international sky and ppv contracts , , and remember boxing is only part of it , You have darts , and snookere to add to the golden pot , plus other sports , think Barry said they have 12 sports they look after , thats 12 succseful companys , under the matchroom banner , . I think there bigger than most relise and a billion would'nt supreise me one bit .
