That’s a wrap! 👋
A quite fitting way to end my time at @boxing_social off the back of a MC fight week in Belfast. I made the decision a few weeks ago that it was time for me to move on.
Appreciate the opportunity.
See you all around.

@jameschamley I honestly thought he was the only one who tried to be positive with the ball when he had it.

Can someone explain to me how we’ve cast one of the best goalscorers this club has ever seen aside and replaced him with Wheatley and Mullin? One of the biggest downgrades the club has ever seen. Honking the pair of them. Grass isn’t always greener. #bcafc

In 33 years as a professional journalist including my time at newspapers well before covering boxing I’ve conducted thousands of interviews. Never once have I given my subject my questions ahead of time. And if I was asked to do so I just wouldn’t do the interview. Very clear cut to me. If anyone is giving Dana or any other subject questions ahead of time they can fuck right off. The subject can ask. Fine. But to acquiesce? You’re a fraud.

“This is what annoys me... Dana’s doing interviews with UK outlets, and they’re telling them the questions they’re allowed to ask. They’re asking to see the interview before it even goes out. I’m listening to these guys asking questions, and no one’s pushing him. No one’s really asking any serious questions. No one really asks any proper questions. It’s a huge machine that you can’t actually get close to and ask the real questions. If I’m on media row, I’m asking a question: if Tom Aspinall is driving more revenue to the pot than Conor Benn, why is he making 10 times less money? Can you answer that?” Eddie Hearn on TKO's attempts to control the media.

Eddie Hearn 12 months ago: "I’m very jealous of the MMA model, it’s a great model."
Eddie Hearn now: "I can’t believe the way some of these UFC fighters have been treated and what they’re getting paid!"

Eddie Hearn is asked his thoughts when he actually looked at a UFC contract. Says Conor Benn is getting 10-15 times more than Aspinall. Later, Eddie Hearn: We've had a dozen fighters approach us from the UFC, asking to speak to us, have representation, could we just educate them a little bit about the space, what's going on. #HelwaniShow

@K1rst3y He annoyed far too many people, so they have all moved their horses and there isn’t a queue of people wanting horses with him anymore.

Touched down in Cheltenham.
Nice weather, bit of food and drink tonight.
Midnight Tipper ™️ will return.

@BCitarella42847 @TstreeT_Contro In boxing terms they ain’t many selling like him , which is disappointing but to get over 10k is good at the moment
English
@TomDev88 @TstreeT_Contro He does ok. I think his biggest one was 15k at home. For context the BKFC with two 45 year old ex-UFC guys headlining sold the same place out with close to 19k.

So Teofimo and Shakur got $8,000,000 a piece and Vergil Ortiz's manager wanted $7,000,000 for the Boots fight. Golden Boy offered $3,000,000 with a split of PPV revenue if the fight crossed 200,000 PPV buys (which I doubt would sell that much).

@TheRacingJosh @ASymondsJourno Let's hope he comes back to his best 🤞

@ASymondsJourno He’s on the boat with the rest of the Wednesday runners ✅⛴️

For those curious, I didn’t see Final Demand at Cheltenham this morning.
He wasn’t in the two lots that came down to the gallops.

@TstreeT_Contro Ennis and Vergil aren’t doing the Shakur v Teo numbers at the gate or PPV. . Ennis and Ortiz can’t get those numbers their hometowns.
Boxing isn’t a sport that you get paid by how good you are, instead it’s a business where you get paid by how much revenue you generate.

@Hazzy2_0 @louishart_ No way is this a co main. 100% headlines its own card.

“You take on Willie Mullins three times a year and cry about it. We have to take him on every day of the week!”

What I’ve just heard is the maddest piece of boxing news this week. I didnt think Benn leaving Matchroom would be topped for a decade but..😳
English
What I can’t get my head around with the Benn and Hearn thing is, Benn imo is a very limited fighter, he’s never won any title of note and imo losses the all the current world champions
I’d rather sign a great fighter than a limited fighter who can chat shite
