Izzy's a top man and he can hustle. Really hope he makes a success of it.

Me too

BBC will be looking for someone soon

He has big problems.

Thought all the money dazn throw around they couldn't find some for gmb having a show every 7-8 weeks

I am told Izzy is
Struggling.

The deal with dazn was not lucrative izzynhad to stumpmup the production costs

Izzy allegedly lost his financial backer

Finances were allegedly the reason he
Was forced into a deal with shalom over kraus

Lot of cost cutting over there lately. Bunch of senior staff gone and various deals been allowed to expire.

Any word on what Boxxer will be doing once BBC don't renew them? Price event is last event of the four-event deal but maybe Azim owes them a fight to make it to five events. Can't see them getting renewed beyond that.

Expect Azim to wind up with zuffa or to contract directly with Riyadh under the McGuigans. Not sure who else viable is even left in that stable beyond Azim.

Maybe Dutch regional TV picks your guys up?

I am told we will be surprised.

Im having doubts.

Izzy probably got into the promoting game too late he probably would hace been a big player around hennessy and Maloney promotions peak years.

GBM are fucked, shame nice guys who give it a good try but thats it for them

I agree its bad news because Izzy & Mitch are thoroughly decent people.

Possibly

But I think the game now is going to become a two-horse race between Matchroom and Zuffa anyway.

I can see Queensberry struggling now they've fallen out with Saudi. Don't see Top Rank or Golden Boy returning as a force.

A lot of people wildly underestimating Zuffa due to slow start. They've just managed to get legislation overturned /amended at federal level in the USA. There isn't a promotion on earth could have done that except them. Gives you some indication of their power level.
