    Agree with other comments. FFS please let the man finish. If he’s not worth listening to, don’t get ‘em on in the first instance. Otherwise love it. Also can we talk PPV and what a rip off this is for punters? Lots of fights not worthy of PPV now. I’m watching less not more.

    These pods would be so much better if you didn’t talk over each other so much. You all have great points to make, so it would be nice for people to be able to finish what they say. Paul is about the only one that doesn’t cut people off - please be like Paul.

    Great pod, just please stop the over talking.

  • Issues with uploads?

    The pod seems to be uploaded a week or so after it originally is supposed to be - by then pod is irrelevant as it’s old news. Outstanding otherwise even if the pod is obsessed with AJ

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Well If You Let Me Finish...
Q: Can you explain the risk of pursuing 50-50 fights as a core model for boxing?
A 50-50 fight structure could maximize spectacle but may undermine long-term fighter development and the ability to build a stable weight-class ecosystem; promoters must balance immediate popularity with career longevity for athletes.
Well If You Let Me Finish...
Q: What is your assessment of Zuffa Boxing's multi-year deal with Sky Sports?
The panel sees potential benefits in bigger fights and pay-per-view infrastructure, but there are major questions about belt integrity, sanctioning body alignments, and whether fighters will receive sustained opportunities at the elite level.
AJ BEATS TYSON FURY
Q: Where are you on this particular Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua fight in terms of likelihood and risk?
The panel broadly agrees it's a volatile matchup with serious risk for Joshua, acknowledging Jake Paul's size and power while noting Joshua's proven experience and knockout potential; the consensus is that the fight could happen but remains controversial and opinionated, with business and spectacle driving some of the discussion.
Tunde & Paul's EXPLOSIVE Debate Hits BOILING POINT!
Q: Where do you think it went wrong on the night?
Tunde shares insights on the challenges Yarde faced and mentions that they prepared well regardless of Benavides being a special fighter.
SIMON, YOU NEVER BACK ANTHONY JOSHUA!
Q: Do you think AJ's fight with Jake Paul was a legitimate preparation for a world title fight?
No, you don't play boxing. Boxing needs to ask itself about the commission of such a fight. It's a big problem that boxing will be brought into disrepute.
