At the the pool results is there poll results yeah let me have a look do you know how many people got back to me and said is this guy is this guy blind me honestly everyone the the poll results are insane Colin mcgan Colin Colin Colin where our G on

Here say Franks 63% so basically 12 people out of 20 said you’re St little in terms of uh yesterday I seen you flew back to London any special meeting I had a meeting last night but nothing for this camera uh unfortunately in the future could be for

This camera maybe who knows that’s the joy of meetings you never know I uh spoke to Jose Felix yesterday he’s a little bit annoyed at he isn’t here he said uh that with this is going to be Edie Horn’s biggest surprise of his career he said he was telling me when he

Signed with top rank I didn’t know much of this but they red him very highly and he didn’t really uh take his career as serious as he should have he left top rank he was one of the released when they released a lot of Fighters and he

Kind of feels that this is a stage of his career where he’s revitalized when you’ve seen him yesterday and you’ve seen him with this top off in the photos are you a little bit worried for Lou Crocker uh look it’s the it’s the kind of fights leis Crocker and these

Fighters need fighters who are coming to fight you know it’s the only thing that’s going to develop their career you know not only when you see him with his top off you know you can see he’s in great shape you can see he’s trained hard for this um but when you listen to

Him speak as well like you know went on for about five minutes Kieran had the toughest job in there Translating that yesterday but um he’s here to win obviously and that’s great to see because so many fights have been made in the past this is what we’re saying about

Making real fights a lot of people would say about the weight but he said in there himself he’s a lot more comfortable at this weight he struggled when it was the cul fight um and he looks a lot more comfortable he looks big at this way you know he looks big he

Looks like he’s trained hard for it and like I said it’s the kind of fight Lis Crocker needs if we’re going to step on in the right direction it’s exactly what we need to do Lis Crocker has spoke yesterday when I spoke to Billy Nels he

Wasn’t quite sure if he signed with Mom or or not if he wins this fight he does sign with match room would you like to make that fight with Patty Donovan next I’d love to I think he’s a brilliant fight and I think it’s the right time

For both of them um and I think it’s what we need to see more of you know that’s a fight that would sell out at the SSC you know we we saw a great atmosphere uh in December obviously and hence why we’re back so soon and we see

Massive potential here so you that is definitely a fight we’d love to make and I’m confident we can make it I’m confident both guys won it they got tests on Saturday that they got to get through they won’t be looking last it but yeah they’re the kind of fights we

Need to make talk to me a bit about the state of Irish boxing in terms of where match room rank these kind of Belfast cards obviously youve came back here at the beginning of the year just kind of worked out are we looking at something more regular now Frank for sure look we

Never wanted to Really Leave Belfast it was just we’re led by and I said it in the interview yesterday we’re led by the talent that we have you know Mick was obviously signed to top rank so he was promoting his own shows with top rank you know some with Queensbury as well um

And they were selling out they were doing tremendous numbers and like I said there’s a massive Market here for boxing where people love their boxing and the fighters are fortunate to have that cuz not everywhere has that um so yeah there’s definitely intent for us while there’s the talent there while there’s

The personalities there’s intent for us to do more shows and we will be back here throughout the year Kitty Taylor Chantel Cameron where are we at with that discussion where are we at with the possibility of cro park I got meetings with both the teams while we’re here um

Both Katie and Chantel’s team obviously I say Obviously a lot just realized well maybe realized that before um yeah meetings with them while we’re here and you know that’s the fight we want to make we promote both ktie and Chantel I think it’s the biggest fight

Out there you know it’s one all between the two of them and they gave us you know the the the two of them gave us two nights that we’ll never forget probably possibly two of the best nights we’ve seen in the sport in terms of atmosphere atmosphere show and the fights they left

It all in the ring both times and I think you know that deserves a Trilogy um and hopeful we can make that happen in terms of croak Park conversations ongoing conversations ongoing with the government as well I don’t know whether it happens in all honesty like I’d love

For it to happen we’re all working as hard as possible you know we’re working well with with with croak to try and make it happen so you know let’s see how things play out if it’s not cro will it be the Aviva though is it definitely has

To be a stadium I mean obviously we think back years ago when when you Bank fought Steve Collins is there a possibility of going to Cork or anywhere else in I don’t look I think a Eva’s another potential stadiums that are smaller than sort of 40 odd, thousand

Are really tough to make work because of the cost of putting a show on Outdoors you know it’s really hard to do and and you’re sort of better off going into an arena at that point it’s a shame the three is not 15 20,000 um but I think the focus for us

Is to create another night like that if we can do that in a stadium and that is obviously number one priority for us if we can’t then we will go back to the three I would say if we can’t do aava if we can’t do cro Park we’ll go back to

The three again would it be the type of Fate that potentially we could see Landon Saudi Arabia uh not not right now I don’t think there’s discussions of it there right now um you know and the time frames as well we’re looking at may you know and we know all the talks about

What’s going on in s you’ve obviously got the Feb 17 March 8th show and then the match room Queensbury event as well and I saw his Excellency was posting about vivel PV as well so hopefully that’s close to being done so I don’t think right now I think the focus as we

Sit here today is May time and doing it in Dublin but you know let’s see caral tlor there was discussions yesterday that it might land on another platform from M can you elaborate on that a little bit yeah look we we’ve been looking at that fight it’s it’s the fact

Of whether it Stacks up you know and it’s not a fight we could we would do on pay-per-view it’s a fight maybe another plat would do on pay-per-view um and if it works out for everyone and you know it delivers a huge opportunity for Jack cat you know we’ve been fortunate enough

To promote and it delivers him a big night and he’s not with us we’re not you know we’re not the kind of people to stand in the way of that um you know we’ve got a great relationship with Jack and obviously Sam Jones and but let’s

See let’s see but yeah I think it’s not a fight we going to put on pay-per-view or design would put on pay-per-view when you refer to another platform I imagine you’re referring Josh Taylor I think he has one fight left with this top rank D does that mean that you think it could

Land on a top rank Sky kind of pay-per-view in the UK is that the kind of direction that we G yeah possibly possibly but but let’s see it’s not it’s not done I think it’s just more the fact that there’s been a lot of talk about

That fight but again it has to stack up financially for everyone um but at the same time if we can’t deliver that then we’re not going to stand in the way of Jack getting a massive opportunity um and look he’d be straight back anyway if

If he did and you know if he if he went and beat Josh Taylor which I believe he would do know he’s an even bigger star I spoke um to I spoke yesterday to Sonny Edwards it’s the last one because I know you’re busy no um got a couple minutes five

Minutes okay um I spoke to I spoke to Sonny Edwards and he didn’t mean this disrespectfully but I just want to get your opinion on it he said that the fights that have been made so far and the schedule has been made so far isn’t really it in his opinion he

Said and it’s down to Fighters like him and other fighters to say that they’ll take the bigger fights he thinks too many people are just happy um basically going along with whatever’s given to them do you believe that as well do you believe that maybe the schedule isn’t as

Strong as you would like I think there’s strong fights on there I think there’s really good fights you know March 23rd we just announced some more fights for the undercard of that I think that’s a tremendous show I think uh zelfa Barrett against Jordan gills a brilliant fight

And sets the winner up to go on challenge for World titles I think we need to do some work to deliver what one or two other big fights as well in the schedule in April May June time and we know that and we’re working very hard to

Do that right now you I think we’ve got strong nights and I think we need to just bolster that up with a couple more and we will do that and we’re working hard right now um you know it takes yes it takes Fighters want to take the right

Fights in look if we if we make the trilogy between Katy Taylor and Chantel Cameron know obviously there’s the discussion around lewood Josh Warrington as well you know there’s not infinite nights you know Conor Ben back out as well in around May time you know it’s not infinite nights to do thank you

Cheers infinite nights to do every show I’m not going to sit here and say we can do every single event it’s not an endless pit of money um but yeah we’re working on a couple more you know to bolster it up you got Joshua and garu

Sat right in the middle of there as well on on March 8th um there’s a lot going on in the sport right now there’s a lot of investment in the sport right now and you know it’s it’s working around everything that’s going on but we you know we’re working hard to deliver even

More big nights for the schedule would you be honest enough to say that you’re lacking in US Headliners at the moment and you maybe will be looking at more talent in the US in terms of looking at the schedule there’s only really one US night that sticks out which is the Vegas

Show I know you’ve got obviously the Mexican show and stuff as well but would you say that maybe there’s a a gap in the market for more us sence from mum look we’re working on a couple right now we are working on a couple potentially headline shows around May May June time

Um but yeah we’re always looking for new Fighters you know I think you’ve got Diego peo is is someone coming through who’s a tremendous fighter and you we wanted him to headline but the the venues didn’t quite work out so he’s on that show you know with Richards and

Hitchens limos is is a tough fight for Richards and Hitchens if Richardson can win that he goes on to fight for a world title um so yeah we know we know what we need to deliver you’ve obviously got bam as well will be back out around probably

June time you know in in the schedule who’s that legely against we’d love to make their Str fight you know that’s a fight we’d love to make so you know there’s there’s a lot of work going on in the background but you know as always we’re our own biggest critics and we’re

Working hard to make sure we can deliver the best possible nights for the subscribers and you know the zone as well in terms of you know you’ve referred to their new signings we spoke previously maybe a month ago and I spoke with Ed about boots s where’s the

Conversations with boots now boie said that he’s were in discussions wherever they went they’re led to disc still discussions everyone will be talking to boots tenis you know he’s a tremendous fighter and everyone will want to sign him so but still discussions Ong going nothing yet last one from me Cameron

Vong Jordan Flynn on social media is that a fight that you’ll be looking to make after Cameron’s next fight yeah I had a meeting with uh with Tom Dallas yesterday to go through a few bits that’s a fight we we’re very much hopeful to make and you know that that’s

Planned for sort of April May time um it’s not signed yet but I’m confident we can get it done any discussions with Liam Smith about re him the match room and and maybe a couple more fights yeah look we’d love to work with Liam you know we’ve had a great relationship over

The years and yeah we’ve had a few chats um he’s not ready right now but as soon as he is I think we’ll look at what can do Frank Smith was a pleasure appreciate it thanks very much Stuart Little reporting live I’m [Applause] fine

  1. Hope Matchroom keep up their work outside of Saudi Arabia. A brilliant edition, but it’s great to see cards across the globe as well.

  2. Catterall v Scottish fella is not PPV anywhere. First fight was minging dull only reason it has any appeal is the controversial wnding
