Anyone seen the recent interview with Kugan and fury I actually agree with fury and Saunders IFL TV do buthugg heard and Joshau your talking to the number one heavyweight in the world and all he gets his the sun shines out Joshaus arse I agreed with how fury and Saunders handelled it nothing against Joshau as I think he's a brilliant fighter but IFL TV bore me now and you could see Tyson wasn't fussed for the interview from the get go

This one?

Think you're being unfair. Kugan makes no secret of the fact that Tyson is his favourite fighter. When you go to their channel there's a big picture of Tyson at the top. They're cordial with everyone. They do spend a fair bit of time with Hearn, and Kugan and Eddie do seem pally, but they're of a similar age, live in a similar part of the world and have similar interests. They also spend plenty of time with Frank, get on well with him but probably don't have quite the same dynamic on camera because Frank is older and not as much of a show pony as Eddie.

Just going on the video I saw don't really watch of Kugans interviews anymore find him off putting rather watch the interviews done by James

I now think Kugan is better than James they have to try and be diplomatic to keep in with everybody but they along with Fury and Hearn even though I dislike him are some of the reasons why UK boxing is booming again.

Most folk interviewing Tyson are going to ask about AJ because everyone wants to see the fight. The press do big up AJ a lot more than Fury because Fury is outspoken and anti pc. Just the way it is with the media. Tyson and his team are obviously a bit sick of hearing about him and feel a bit disrespected. End of the day everyone in the know knows who the main man is and that's the gypsy king

It's all good for Fury, lots of hype, good guy v bad guy etc and if it was done today it should be a good win for the gypsy king

I dont know if I'm the only one but saunders and fury just reinforce how most neutrals view about the stereotype image of wanker gypos

I've gone right off IFL now. Someone suggested on one of their videos something like "maybe it's time to calm down with the relentless Joshua questions to everyone you are interviewing" and they basically replied telling him to fornicate off. Strikes me they are a bit too big for their boots now and can't take any form of feedback. It's not like the guy was trolling, quite a few people jumped to his defence. I know everyone's gona jump on me with "they provide a great insight" and all that, and I agree they do, but I think they are forgetting it's the fans that gave made their channel a success.

Regarding the vids, the intros seem well long lately, the rehashed snippets can be a bit irritating. Other than that the content is good.

during Kugans Interview with W@rren, W@rren mentioned that July 9th for AJ at Wembley was never on the cards and Hearn was simply bullshitting.
Kugan went on to interview Hearn the day after and never mentioned it, choosing to instead ask Hearn "banter" questions.

I love the guys content, but I feel Kugans friendship with Hearn gets in the way of serious questioning and negative feedback...

Lately I feel he has been showing that he is beginning to see through Hearns BS and lies. He must be seeing evidence of the truth against what Hearn is saying as I am noticing an edge at times. Plus he clearly hugely disagreed with the Hearn role model bs against Fury and made that very clear. Kugan even went on the Next Big Pod the next night, pissed and said that same and it was clear he is not quite as sucky sucky with hearn as I thought.

Always liked the content and access personally but have been critical of Kugan but starting to see him evolving into someone smarter, with some better questions at times and think he is starting to open his eyes to the utter horseshit that comes from camp eddie

I wouldn't over analyse it, what they're doing is not rocket science. They're just two lads working really hard to provide a simple quality service for people who are too lazy to read.

Love Ifilm and feel that the gypsies are not doing themselves any favours with their bully boy attitude.

Kugan from ifltv is a top man and working really hard doing a great job...

If you don't like him don't watch him

He is providing a free service ...

A lot a people in here are jealous and negative

I don't doubt they are sound and hardworking, but felt on this occasion they treated a regular viewer with utter disdain for offering valid, constructive criticism in a polite manner. It was James not kugan.

I don't watch them normally but i like to watch any interview with fury as he's usually good entertainment just thought from where. They first started its gone down hill just my opinion and everyones will differ

Tysons great value and very likeable. Peter seems like a class act too, tells it straight but is also sharp and listens to what others have to say.
Johns amusing and quite likeable but seems very ignorant and in indeed something of a bully. When someone else has something to say ( usually a middle class journalist ) he just shouts and rants and doesn't listen at all and waffles on about persecution. It's tiring even if he has a point sometimes.
BJS don't come across well at all. Seems like he's full of shit. He's gome from being a world title holder in his own right to being chief Fury hanger on/cheerleader.

He's done all right Kugan hasn't he? Didn't he used to be Hattons gopher?

Without doubt.

They do a great job and it can't be easy being in the middle of Hearn/Warren etc. as well as loads of other warring factions and they seem to be pulling off the balancing act.

There's a reason why everyone from top to bottom in British boxing gives them access (bar the Eubank's) - the exposure is excellent for the sport.

Even if their product isn't up your street, you can't fault their work ethic and enthusiasm. It's not easy to do what they do in terms of sheer volume of content week in week out.

Sometimes there's a distinct lack of journalistic polish - rambling questions, silly in-jokes and treating fighters as mates rather than interviewees - but I can live with that as it is free-to-view and their fly on the wall style does not always enable considered questions.

I don't understand why people keep treating them like highly qualified journalists. They are a pair of guys who have built what appears a successful business by finding a niche in the market. Why criticise them for lack of journalistic prowess.

Someone earlier complained they didn't give Hearn stick about the July 9th thing? Kugan pretty much said 'what the fu ck are you playing at' almost word for word to Hearn in the post fight interview in the corridor after Joshua won. Then in the interview in the Matchroom offices a few days later he pretty much again says, I think that daft, Barry what do you think? And Barry Hearn then says 'I'm all for competition but that sounds like not the best idea.
