...Fury, Murray, Eubank Jr.. I kind of hope so too.

He had Degale, Galahad and Blackwell at various points too.

What's gonna happen with Hennessey and channel 5 now?

Must be the final nail in the coffin for Hennessy Sports.

No mate. Who's he?

Ah ok mate. Cholo is part of the twitter handle of Andy Patterson, regular panel member of the Boxing Asylum podcast.

I see. I think I've seen another Cholo on boxrec. Maybe that's him.

Great. So cheating ‘drugs cheats should be banned for life’ Hearn has now put on Galahad, whyte, Ortiz, Miller, Canelo and now fury. Anymore?

Maybe he could put them on a massive bill and call it the ‘PED PPV’. Stacked

AJ and Tyson could fight for the WBC lineal drugs championship of the world, and the winner can fulfill their mandatory obligations vs Whyte and Ortiz winner (fighting for the PED interim title)

I’d say my list is currently:

1. Fury
2. AJ
3. Whyte
4. Miller
5. Ortiz
6. Teper

Larry O should come back Hearn would sign him in a flash

Edit: forgot Povetkin another Hearn stable cheat

Rios (failed after the Pacquiao loss) headlined the first Matchroom Mexico card (Vs Soto)
Povetkin, might have been the mandatory for Joshua but principles is principles
Lucas Browne (Vs Whyte and Allen)

Can't help but feel this is actually a bigger issue than the Whyte story. Whyte was getting PPV dates afterwards (yeah years afterwards but still PPV dates), Browne got 2 solid pay days, Miller was set for his biggest pay day, Rios headlined a pretty major card, Galahad got his biggest fight in the back of it. Almost feels like an incentive, seeing these fighters getting these opportunities with Eddie, and on Sky/Sky PPV/DAZN in front of huge audiences.

This isn't a one off, this is a string of names who have failed a test, been given a second chance by Eddie and been able to get some of their biggest bouts as a result.

Welcome to the club of like-minded!

Underwhelming. Beyond a price fight where else is there for him to go? Dubois, Joyce would both likely beat him. Guessing he wants to make a bit of cash on a few sky cards fighting top 50 (ish ) oppo

Hughie signs with matchroom ….bringing his one right hand with him

I bet he signed the contract with his left.

Can't see how this is going to work unless Fast Car plans to sacrifice him as fodder,no way he could headline him against anyone in the world,he isn't a name that people will queue up to fight,he has no belts,he stinks the place out and is almost always negative and hard to look good against,basically Hughie has nothing going for him and has no charisma.

Maybe plaster fury vs price around and try to make ppl think its the other lanky partridge, thats really the only fight that stands out to me with this signing

That could end any hopes for Price going anywhere at this late stage of his career,he'd be lucky to land anything and would just end up chasing fresh air.

Ya could well be, although with how negative the hughster is maybe they think a few shots here and there could win it for price without him gassing

He has about a dozen heavyweights now, it’s easier to make the fights people want to see if he has a few of them under contract...

Nobody wants to watch Hughie though,even against Parker it was on youtube ,his fight before last had 65 people in the crowd

Price-Fury coming right up.

Would rather see Price face Tyson.

Im surprised Matchroom were interested in signing him. Firstly because he's fallen short every time he's stepped up, and to add to that, he's not exactly got a fan friendly style.

keithmoonhangover wrote: ↑28 Jul 2019, 15:10 Price-Fury coming right up.

Thing is, he's probably the one guy that can't knock him out, he will probably pick and poke his way to a decision, but his lack of commitment on his punches means price may just be able to throw caution to the wind.

I could see Price knocking him out. That would be a good feather in his cap on his resurgence.
