George Groves Boxing Club | Promoter Ben Shalom

[@sam-nw3zl]

If ben did not block those fight people wouldn't have a reason to dislike him cant say we want to work with everyone but block fighters from purse bids

[@gruunt4064]

i looks like from what he is saying about other stuff that they are too small an operation to be taking the hit of losing a bid on their bigger stars, easy for Eddie Hearn to lose bids, they have the money in reserve to play the long game

[@sam-nw3zl]

@gruunt4064 he can't complain about promoters not working together when matchroom and queensberry had fighters on boxxers cards but shalom won't even entertain a purse bid proper weasel move

[@Airyed]

​@@gruunt4064 see you have made comment trying to defend Ben Shalom but if you are right that is absolutely awful the fighters interests must come first! Not the promoters

[@gruunt4064]

@@Airyednonsence it's a business, they signed a contract, promoters are there to make money not invest money in a fighter and have him go fight for someone else. fighters can put up the money to promote themselves if they prefer. they chose Boxxer as their promoter, they wanted to be on Sky TV but when an offer comes in to fight with someone else suddenly its forget the contract i want to fight with another promoter. lets guess what happens when the fighter gets beat, they come back to Boxxer expecting their contract to be honoured in full. you can't have your cake and eat it what would happen if footballers did the same, do you think the fans would be singing their praises because they wanred to go play for another team for a few weeks that was in the final of the FA cup

[@noahmoeskops2268]

​​@@gruunt4064and that is completely reasonable from boxxer that they can't afford to lose their stars in purse bids, but don't put on the false narrative "we want to work with everyone" when you clearly don't want to and lie about it. And wasting everyone's time by pulling out of purse bids for big fights by mere hours. Because with things like that everyone will get behind the hate wagen

[@henners9747]

Brilliant interview. I was never sure about Shalom, but watching him here you can see the passion he has for the sport and that he's a decent bloke

[@JB-td9fz]

Never has a human ever been so out of depth in a sport as schlom

Such dedication and integrity Ben has for the sport. I do believe Ben & Boxxer will be in Boxing for the long haul.

[@colin20g]

This fella will be the reason sky pulls the plug on boxing in the next 18 months...shows are terrible...doesn't promote his fighters well...pulls his fighters out of big fights...Saudi coming in now and wanting to work with hearn and Warren...this guy is fucking it

[@aviduke]

I hope he's as genuine as he seems. A good interview.

[@creativeartist83]

He is so monotone I genuinely forgot I was listening to this until one of the guys butted in with a question

[@burlesque809]

Promoter with personality of an undertaker

[@catpain11]

On one hand I find it impressive what he has done and how far he has come. On the other, he's so boring and the Boxxer shows seem to be going backwards in terms of quality. Also unsure why he is putting himself of Kalle Sauerland.

[@samla77]

Anyone know why he has stopped doing interviews during fight week with ifl, boxing social etc

[@johnsmile434]

A promoter that doesn't promote 😂

[@empathic_mimicry]

Boxxer are drowning Shows are terrible. Overpaid for Okolie and Parker, then matches Parker to immediately get beat on a rival network. They seem to have ripped up Okolie rematch contract CBM Boxxer can't allow any of their fighters to get into mandatory positions as they refuse to take part in purse bids and pulls out fighters. Subsequently most of Boxxers star fighters are only fighting once a year with only cheaper up and coming fighters fighting more than once. Cancels shows in mysterious circumstances, Buasti Azzez O2 show is cancelled under rumors' of poor ticket sales even after they reduced the capacity to 11,000 then remainder of the card to York Hall, finally reschedules the fight but now it's at the much smaller Ovo arena, which in turn validates the rumor's of why it was pulled as correct.

[@waynefitness9972]

Facts. I’m glad people are seeing the same 🥊💯👊🏾

[@chrishughes5895]

When Eddie started on sky he had ZERO fighters. Zero experience and he also had to persuade sky that Boxing could succeed on sky after years of leisure center shows. When you took over you already had a huge audience that Hearn had spent years building up

[@waynefitness9972]

Ben shalom didn’t allow any of Hes fighters to be on the Saudi card. What a waste man. He’s got to go !

[@michealdexter1188]

who's he got? a bunch of GB Olympians and fighters only recognized in the UK. It's a HW card and have you seen the state of their HW rooster? lol you can only work with what you have. FYI point of correction they got Bakole on the Fury vs Ngannou show

[@CC44998]

People have to remember that his father is a weathly man that didn't agree to him getting involved in boxing... He lived in Belfast for a long time and it was his fathers connections got him to where he is... Hence the Shalom... Isn't it amazing that someone called that can generate money...

[@aviduke]

Are Warren and hearn also Jewish?

Very well said, mate, and that is exactly what I was thinking.

[@michealdexter1188]

say what you like! he's done well to even compete with people that have been in the sport longer than he's been alive and he didn't get a leg up and silver spoon like Eddie. He's still very young so he'll learn on the job and get better
