He's a grafter - you even sound like him! Yeah he's doing a good job and everything is well operated he's had a good teacher though. He's basically a very very good salesman but beneath that I don't think there's much there.
I sound a lot rougher than Eddie. Think Game of Thrones accents !
No I just think it needs a bit of context. It's not like he beat a man to death with his own shoe in the street like Don King. Fights are being made with extreme regularity at the minute across these shores and fighters are actually signing with him to make fights happen - rather than hiding behind their respective promoters to stay unbeaten like the bad old days.
Cast your mind back 8 years ago and sky had all promoters on board and not a single bloody fight was made between them domestically. Now here we are, on the verge of an 80,000 seat fight between two of our country's most exciting fighters and we're complaining lol.
If the monopoly saw our fighters not face each other, and they stayed at home padding their records instead of challenging in America - then I'd be the first to complain but they aren't.
