Just tweeted by Mr Matchroom Jnr:

@EddieHearn: Fighters that didnt hear me on the radio,if you haven't been paid within the 7 day regulatory period-tell the Board! Or you may never get it

This follows this by Rocky Fielding:

@Rocky87Fielding: “@TonyBellew: The truth is being spoken on @CityTalk1059 right now!”not half bro still waiting £ haha

Has anyone been listening to this? Any other details?

Fielding has been pissed off for months about a number of things to do with his promoter by the looks of his twitter account especially non payments and lack of fights.

Are boxers not being paid?

If you believe a few reports boxers arent getting paid for a few months after fights. a certain promoter seems to be the main culprit.

I don't believe fighters aren't being paid because of greed, more like someone has serious cashflow problems.
Perhaps the Upton Park jaunt is more the actions of a desperate man.

A certain tv channel has 100, 000 subscribers and is being laid out across europe. His words not mine.

I'd bet my house that there's no way it's anywhere close to 100,000 subscribers - bear in mind that the specialist mags (BN and BM) sell around the 10k mark as a rough average.
As Coco said, it looks like a cashflow issue.

My only surprise is that it’s taken so long to become more prominent. Guys on here and elsewhere have spoke of/posted reports regarding certain fighters and their payments (or lack of).

I could list out a fair number of unhappy employees in the camp, I'm sure most of us could.

The lack of shows being put on by a certain greatest promoter in Europe would appear to speak volumes. In a huge summer of British sport, it's bordering on shameful that the likes of Ricky Burns, Kevin Mitchell, Nathan Cleverly, George Groves, James Degale and Frankie Gavin are twiddling their thumbs with little sign of fighting before September at the earliest. Ironic given the heartfelt pleas about poor little Dereck Chisora being denied an income if he was to stay out of the ring for more than a couple of months.

Frankie Gavin fought last week, James DeGale tried to split from Wazza and I think Groves is pencilled in to fight Anderson after recovering from his injury. FW is probably going to pit Mitchell and Burns together next if Burns wants it.

Britains first ever world amateur champion fought last week without anyone knowing about it. Olympic gold medallist, James degale fought on a rival promoters undercard. Groves v Anderson is supposedly 4 weeks away yet there is no confirmation that it is happening. Burns v Mitchell could have happened at anytime since December, but still there is nothing - this is a cracking fight that would benefit from a high profile build up, yet time is already running out before the summer break - this fight will not happen any time soon.

Frank is hanging on by the plebs on his balls.

Won't be long before the floodgates open and a chunk of his fighters start leaving.

If the BBBoC gave Carte Blanche for unpaid fighters to leave there would be an exodus.
Maybe this can be a negotiating for the Luxembourg problem.
