British boxing is suffering more but let’s be real, it’s only because Saudi has taken the politics out of it and is delivering the fights fans have wanted to see. These lot have no one to blame but themselves for why national boxing is being forgotten, they’ve continuously let the public down for years stealing every penny they can and almost never delivering on the big fights
Couldn't agree more my friend.
Great comment, 100% agree
👏🏾 Could not agree more. This comment should be pinned 📌
Bang on its a nasty pill to swallow
Blood money.
Clueless Jim White said Ben Shalom and boxxer have cornered the uk boxing market 🤣🤣🤦♂️
Funniest thing iv heard all week. Bent Shlong is done 😂
Dim Jim is clueless about most things
Boxxer have the best current UK schedule
Boxxer do 10 shows a year and pull fighters out of big fights
@@HisExcellencyB😂 don't be silly
Adam Smith,said exactly the same when he announced he was working with Boxxer and Ben Shalom..
It's the Saudi money that's 'saving' boxing if they pull out the same old one-sided fights and politics will return.
Nah numpty
Boxing has suffered with these BLOODY TERRIBLE judges NEVER getting the Results correct any other sport and there would be hell to play, the most CORRUPT SPORT
VAR is basically Footballs version.
British boxing has been suffering since Matchroom left Sky, used to make a day of going to a match and end up in the pub watching the boxing. Not anymore sadly
Adam smith was one of the funniest commentators for sky, Dazn is a complete shitshow, they have no clue about anything.
Same lad
Adam the tit smithzzzz was always a cowardly pundit , commentator, he is one of the biggest reasons for the state of judges and refs . Weak all round .
Competition is always a good thing for boxing. As the british scene looses the big fights there will be a market for smaller promotors to come through, so i wish them the bestv of luck and all the success.
If Izzy and Adam pull this off will be good for sport of boxing. Good luck lads
Good link up, GBM are doing great stuff so far in Yorkshire, hope they can expand around the country cause this is the life blood of the sport. We need more of this to keep it alive & give kids the chance to box on big shows, tv & for bit of money & who knows progress up the ranks. Adam's a great guy
Great to see this link up. Boxing needs a man like Adam Smith at this level
Adam/Izzy a breath of fresh air, GBM is a great way, especially looking after the young fighters that we dont know, and this is important, after they finish, they will be looked after, well done Izzy.
Both boys not getting that Saudi money, wonder why they’re not happy 🤥
Exactly, they’ll be aiming for that
Not everyone is a gold digger and the Saudi bubble will burst when they move onto to their next fad.
@@twindigo No everyone will pick a few million over a few hundred grand , that I can assure you.
If they were getting that Saudi money they would be licking their balls just like Eddie and Frank
@@twindigoyea let’s go back to British boxing where we got to see Tyson Fury vs Sefer Seferi. It was crap.
Adam is a good man
Nice guy but blows with the wind
Sky should have done everything they possibly could to get Adam. They need someone to run their press conferences and drum up public interest, Adam Simon Jordan or Sam jones would all be good for the job
Following on from my last comment and watching this video, Adam and Izzy want boxing here in the UK, lets get going guys please.
Nice, a bit of a shakeup, seems a good guy too.
Got Adam Smith and talksport on board already so not bad at all.
Good luck 👍
Great to see him looking well!
Adam is one of the very great boxing voices and commenter out there , and Issy is brillant ,lets all support them just awesome
Adam not interested in commenting, don't you get the move?
Was sure based on his prior relationship with Eddie that he'd be a good addition to DAZN, seems like this is well below that
It is below that but they arent claiming to be on that level. Theyre up and coming, Adam would have had offers and he wouldnt be with these if they didnt sell something good. We need more promoters like this in my opinion, good luck to them.
@@BillyandBuddyCatswell said - Adam probably dosnt want the pressure either
what a passionate decent bloke Ishi is, i thought honesty and decency was gone, but, GBM, im all up for them
This is the first time i've heard of this lot (Adam aside) but if they’re good to their word then this is great news. All the other promotors are focused on the top end where their money is made, so to have a serious player working the “grss roots” with the young and fresh talent is great for the sport and definately supports the development of the boxers.
Talksport really put all their eggs in the Fury basket and it blew up in their face. Went too hard on Eddie to curry favour and are now out in the cold. This should be a lesson to partisan sport media.. stop being so disingenuous in how your report/present stuff
I quite enjoyed it, was a bit of good old fashioned journalism, based on what the listeners wanted to hear rather than what the promoters want us to hear
I've seen them slagging fury like mad. But talk sport slag everybody, that's how they get views.
Well said, I completely agree👏🏼
"Please stop going too hard on my Eddie" 😂😂😂
@@HisExcellencyB Come on mate, everyone loves a pop at Eddie.. it’s tradition!
At least the Saudis are actually making fights !
I wonder why
@@CC1984_ rather see fights with no atmosphere than no fights at all
@@daveclark3337You mean like the lacklustre atmosphere AND very often boxer's performances during convid?? Fcvk that!
@@gerrodmendham461 no pleasing some
tear-ups in leisure centres, plastic chairs flying in the background etc. excited to see british boxing is BACK!
Just go to a Queensbury show
😂😂
Adam Smith the real voice of boxing up there with harry carpenter and ian drake
The Irony of GBM getting the sky contract would be incredible 😊
They are that's why Adam Smith signed with them.
Fans were losing out for years from fighters pricing themselves out of fights, at least now we are seeing the fights happen
Good luck adam. And GBM
Good cause, so many stories and upcoming talent never covered especially in a Saudi Arabia heavy time.
Simon will try and dig out Eddie at every opportunity. For a successful businessman he comes across as very jealous and bitter
Good fight for Dalton Smith tonight, not seen it previewed. He’s a quality boxer from the UK Simon 👍
“Coming of age” “an event from Rotherham” … very badly named
He’s right it’s great fights happen but the British market has suffered a lot just look at the live shows no real big fights
Been some great UK cards recently. All the fights going to Saudi would be ppv anyway. If anything, the Saudi situation has freed up some budget to put better UK cards on since the excellent one lumps up all the cash for the big fights over there
yes ok guys, i`ll have all my windows replaced with your upvc double glazed frames, you`ve convinced me it`s what i should do.
Jordan can just never give Eddie Hearn his credit.
I am fed up with big fights in Saudi if Izzy bringing boxing back home I like what he does and says .
Exciting times ahead can’t wait xx
Eddie opened the door to Saudi wit AJ vs Ruiz 2,when Simon was strongly condemning it. With very strong words too.
Good stuff, best of luck, god bless x💪
Fans have never been happier that we finally see the fights to want to. thanks Saudi
British boxing is fine tbh
Can’t wait to see the Tyrone Fury vs vitali Kilroy fight. Great undercard too with Micky Hatton taking on kris Eweboink.
Was cool to hear Adam on the Joshua Ngannu night
Totally agree. Boxing is the most overtly money orientated sport in the world. Whilst it suits their financial priorities to move boxing to the Middle East it will eventually kill the goose.
Amir Khan has changed!
British journalists are experts at loaded questions 😂
boxing is far better now being in saudi big fights happening all the time and the fight cards are quality the big fights always use to happen in america anyway but its much better with the time zone difference to watch from uk now
Great to see Adam again
If it wasn’t for Saudi we would still be waiting for these super fights people always have something to moan about 😂
FANS DONT MISS OUT BCOZ THE CARDS IN SAUDI ARE AMAZING AND MILLIONS GET TO ENJOY THEM AROUND THE WORLD KEEP IT GOING THSTS MY OPINION AND SO SAY ALL OF US
Pleased for adam..the vouce of boxing...good luck
i do think at the moment everything is all rosey with the Saudis but i think it’s going to backfire eventually - at the moment we’re getting the big fights but i fear it will start to filter down to the average boxers who want the bigger payday and we will struggle more to make top British or european level fights. i know football is totally different but look how the money side has effected football with very average players demanding silly wages and ridiculous transfer fees and at the end it’s the fans who end up suffering
Last Sheffield show was great cant wait for the magna show
What an amazing BOXING 🥊 City ShEFFIELD is it’s also the 3rd largest city in England Size wise & 4th largest City Population wise it’s the birthplace of Football Sheffield is!
I was at Sheffield arena last Saturday night they was 5k fans in for the Dalton smith fight🥊👏👏👍👊
Is this izzy guy that one who came in the ring dancing with the big gold chain and got flattened?? Years ago.
Should be thanking 🇸🇦 making the best fight the best with no politics. Well done
the people to blame for the state of boxing is promoters eddie frank ben shalom etc not making fights because of personal feelings over what the sport needs
Correction. Saudi showed us how incompetent at making fights happen british boxing really is.
They didn't show us how its done, they simply have more money you doughnut 😂
Well they're over-paying everyone
@@Inmyownleague british boxing association could easily make it so fighters have mandatory fights with a fighter of the British boxing association choosing. They don't. They sit on their asses and let the likes of fury retain his titles by fighting bums. If money is what it takes then so be it.
@@FurioussBear lol the only bodies with respectable power is the governing sanctioning bodies, not national associations.
@@Geohillierneonothing wrong with that
Is Adam gonna blush over Eddie & Frank any more and let his guy get a word in? 😂
Yes the fights we wants to see. fury and AJ fighting Ngannou.
Didn’t watch the show last week, did they even mention dalton smith vs zepeda???
At least we have big fights now. Who cares if they take place in Saudi Arabia. If you want them in the UK, pay the same money.
Simon said Frank has opened the doors to Saudi pretty sure it was Matchroom
It was Frank .. Eddie linked up with Saudi 1st but Turki took over the boxing in Saudi and Frank got in 1st
@chrishaswell4405 Aj vs ruiz was the first big saudi fight so please tell me how it was frank ???
@RuleStarRacing because it was different people the guy who put on AJ v Ruiz was no longer the sports minister so yes technically Eddie did the 1st fight there but he had no relationship with Turki so Frank got them back in and where there is cards every month
@@chrishaswell4405 and what fight was this. Just because there is a picture of turki and frank holding hands doesnt mean frank is pulling the strings the only fight franks put on in saudi is fury vs ngannou so please enlighten me to how frank is doing anything let alone opening doors
@@chrishaswell4405 what card every month ??? What are you even on about.
I've been to live boxing events and I still prefer to watch it live on TV
Long may it remain with the Saudis. They are making the fight fans want to see.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they replace boxxer at sky
How ?? By putting on the biggest cards we have ever seen instead of usual shite of one title match if your lucky on ppv then rest u never heard of if anything it's helping boxing but I forgot if we don't run it then obviously everyone else is guna ruin it
There’s a famous saying ‘money talks and bullshit walks’ so walk along mate let them make their well deserved money
IZZY ASIF - What a lovely British name
SUPER BOXING 🥊 CITY SHEFFIELD is & Remember it’s the birthplace of Football plus it’s Englands 3rd Largest city Sheffield is
It’s about time that Sheffield Wednesday got a new Chairman to make the great club go forward!
This is as a good name in Sheffield
Swfc 🥊👏👍👊
did i just hear jim white say ben shalom and boxxer have cornered the UK market 😂😂😂. We all knew this show was on the pay roll but thats taking the piss
It's simple Adam. We don't have the money in the UK. 30 years ago, uk fighters would go to Vegas and New York to fight as that is where the money happened to be. Now it is Saudi. Do you think prize fighters care about venues - They care about what they are getting paid. Let's get real.
The PPv are super low in Saudi compared to US and even UK
Turki Al-Shiekh Throwing his Money around like his middle name is "FATIMA WHITBREAD" hitting every sport, the Money Magic hand don't miss:-))
PS: I dropped my Green Tea when I saw him appear in Therapeutic peaceful sport Snooker, that moment I realise there's nothing the Magic Man can't do
You can tell Adam loves Eddie Hearn still
Izzy sounds exactly the same as Amir Khan, uncanny!
Saudi have saved boxing. Long may it continue.
Well uk boxing shouldn't have put on rubbish cards for the fans, and worked together for the greater good instead 9f trying to line their own pockets, it's because of Saudi that boxing is back where it should be
Where's Teddy, Beanster? 😂
Saudi is saving boxing 😂. UK couldn’t even get Fury to fight Usyk
Yes but their PPv numbers are so low Fury v Francis 80k AJ v Francis 4k when your competing with the US that’s laughable
Simon will start promoting soon 100%
Miss Adam
Was brilliant @ his job
Hearn leaving sky was a travesty.
Judges are often a travesty.
Good luck to them. Hopefully more competition makes the others raise their game.
Imagine AJ v Fury not being in the UK as much as I'd be grateful to see the fight.. I'd be gutted
Sounds like Adam’s Jealous Sky & Shallom aren’t In with the Saudi’s. Also, the bloke said I understand about 47 times we 3 minutes
I didn't know Adam boxes.
Thought he wanted to do something different.... Wasn't that why he left his position as head of sky sports boxing
GBM, the Sky contract ASAP
Adam is truely a salesman
The Saudis have saved heavy weight boxing let’s be honest the promotions if not for the oil money would not have allowed their fighters to put on shows for us.
Is that the geezer from wakey wines?
I'm afraid to say, the kid Smith needs to wind his neck in and get back to work
Jim is a Boxing casual
Don't need all these promotions protecting their fighters 0, we got Turki now.
sorry, i spelt it wrong, i meant IZZY ASIF
Lamb and Balti start a promotion 😂😂😂😂
Adam missed the boat with the Saudi's 😂
I know all the comments before regarding hiding children but let's be honest. Adam commenting is the voice of boxing as such as buffer ....the saudis missing a trick if they don't get Adam on the tanoy
What 🤷🏻♂️😂😂😂😂😂😂
He's a terrible commentator I preferred Ian Drake personally
@@richuk69 Ian was a goodun as well harry carpenter
@@sugarcan1110 we can't leave out reg gutteridge
Screw British boxing, with that low money we just get fights like Fury vs Chisora. Saudi is a blessing, think about the amazing events we’ve had so far and what’s coming up. Those fights would never have happened in anywhere else in the world, money just isn’t there
Their PPV numbers are super low compared to US and UK and they have no fans or atmosphere compared to the bigger markets in UK and US and that’s just the facts
Amazing events?
They're absolute shite.
Wembley, Vegas, the Garden.
These are the events that boxing needs.
Saudi keep big fights coming
Wonder why simons being so silent about boxxer
