Barry Hearn replaced by son Eddie as chairman of Matchroom

[KiwiRider]

He’s with Meaty Mick.

Oh, alright then.
I just recall an interview with Eddie where in response to a question about how well Sam earns and how often he gets his fights televised, Eddie said there is a special relationship between Sam and Bazza

I saw it. Hype... got rid after two losses!

Thanks Mickey, it's hard to keep up.

Lol not quite mick sam had 20 fights on sky and all 7 of his losses were on there.True he got put into the away corner for the last 3 or 4 fights but if they would have got rid of him after two losses. We would never have seen him win British commonwealth european or any of the international titles he won.

Edit I tell a lie it was 21 fights on sky.

Cant really say a bad word about Barry hes a top bloke and made sure sam was always in a good position sometimes when he didnt even deserve it. He payed for sam and a few of us to spend 2 weeks in vegas training with mike mcallum ,Sam was one of the few current fighters invited along to barrys big 70th birthday bash and he also went out of his way to get sam some really good sponsors so he could train full time.Its still a business and thats how you have to see it but barry always went above and beyond where sam was concerned.
