I reckon it’ll be this..

It’s meant to be purse bids for this today so I’m sure there will be news about it today but I’d be amazed if that’s the big news.

Would be nice for him to announce more of his Q4 line up. Also rumours of a deal with someone in the UAE to host several shows.

Unless a deals already been agreed.
Tbh it could be many things.

Looks like it was the Abu Dhabi champion series deal. Hopefully this means Matchroom will finally announce some more shows. His stable can’t be happy how inactive most of them are.

Any fight that won’t draw a big gate but is still a good fight.

Decent payday for Buatsi given the current exchange rate. The relationship between Eddie and Lou DiBella is pretty bad so can’t see Eddie being helped out on U.K. TV rights.

I think Buatsi has the beating of Pascal even in Canada but let’s see what happens. May be the catalyst for Buatsi to leave Matchroom perhaps.

Well they clearly wanted the fight or they would have already pulled it.

Hearn asked WBA to allow Bivol-Buatsi, but they declined.

Buatsi isn't gonna get many opportunities at the moment. all the belts are tied up with 2 people.

Ruthless-RKO wrote: ↑30 Aug 2022, 12:46 Buatsi (16-0, 13 KOs) will earn $585,000 based on his being entitled to 60 percent.
Pascal (36-6-1, 20 KOs) will earn $390,000, or 40 percent of the bid.

As I said earlier.

DiBella isn’t really on the best terms with most.

Yep. He should be feeling the pressure now.

Overall, he has gone down hill. Despite all the new deals etc..

He’s not the same he was say 3-4 years ago.


Yup, you can’t help thinking that Hearn’s time is coming to an end. Everyone’s leaving him or planning to leave him, DAZN appears to be going to become a PPV app like Fite TV, I’m sure the number of subscribers they have must be dropping every weekend particularly with an energy crisis coming, and when he does make a purse bid he invariably loses. He must be pretty demoralised to think that in 12 months he’s gone from Fight Camp and a Josh Warrington stadium fight which all took place in the time , this year, between a nextgen show and a Leigh Wood defence.
