He is so out of touch it is quite sad🤣
Frank Smith isn’t jealous of you Ben, he’s just doesn’t like you or the way you do business, unprofessional? Did he pull out of a purse bid at the last minute? Now that’s unprofessional but five fights SMH 🤦♂️
To call someone unprofessional but pulling out multiple purse bids on the day when people have travelled to bid. That's unprofessional mate
I cannot wait for Ben Whittaker to join Matchroom, thats going to be an unbelievable day of tears

@@IceCold100 I don't disagree with any of that, but it works both ways & helped Hearn massively. Heanr himself often admits most that success came off the back of the huge AJ success & PPV's which only happened due to the mass sky machine to UK casual market. You can't build a star like that off DAZN to the point he's a national star. Either way Sky is key for UK boxing & don't get people who pray on the downfall of other promoters, also would suck if DAZN built up a boxing monopoly & charged whatever they like having already increased prices to £15-£25 a month just for boxing in the UK.

Frank smith CEO of Matchroom (not just Matchroom Boxing) worth over a billion quid is Jealous of BTEC Ben 'Joint Owner' of Boxxer worth 1m 🤣🤣🤣🤣. fs
Sky sports boxing has fallen off a cliff since the departure of Matchroom and this clown quotes NBC and Peacock numbers - it’s embarrassing. How many times has he pulled out of purse bids at the last minute in order for him to save his own fighter from taking a loss. As for Ben Whittaker - seemingly his only potential “star” - well let’s seem him step up the quality of opposition before mentioning the likes of Bivol or Beterbiev 😂

He’s so out of touch it’s funny, he’s in the city where all the promoters are about to announce a massive show and he’s sat begging nbc to do a card around Ben who’s arguably the only boxer they have who’s mainstream whilst also not even being at the table with the big boys despite having the biggest broadcaster in the UK behind him, hes the equivalent to sky sport’s tea boy

Ben, we once spoke in a hotel near Covent Garden almost two years ago. You seemed green, but ambitious and I respected that. You spoke about planning to get Okolie and him being the face of boxing. I had doubts, but you assured me he was the man. We spoke for about an hour, and I consider you a friend. So, as a friend: it's over.
Given todays LA card, Boxxer is literally the last promoter refusing to work with the rest.
Shambles. I like to give benefit of the doubt, but how he can sit there and go, Ben Whittaker is getting hounded at the game in the states...no one has a clue who he is. Lauren Price has zero about her, how dumb does he think we are to believe that it is going to be a big selling fight. It is so odd. I get promote but its like the Stockport manager claiming his team are full of superstars and could easily beat Real Madrid if they really wanted, but they are just gaining promotions at a slower rate to reward the fans....
You literally do what sky tell you , sky have the contacts with nbc you’re a representative so dont give it the big licks you’ve put on a British title fight so just calm down a touch and frank smith does most of matchrooms business so to mention your own company as a jibe , the guy has 100 times more pull in boxing
Aldi standard boxing promoter he is a shambles ben shambles sky wont renew with this clown
He's not jealous, you are just a bulb.
The irony of how he talks about Ben Whittaker being a big deal in America, yet sky sports and the UK audience can’t stand his style lol
Incredible schedule???????
The People who use the word jealous are the ones that are usually jealous of others
Whittaker will be a Matchroom fighter when his contract is up, and that would be the best move he could make.
Pro, I think you’re giving the wrong man a hard time, he’s been putting on great shows recently. Why would you try and kick a man down when he’s doing very well. Well done Ben, keep it up mate
‘My friend showed me over 100 videos of them talking about me’ 1) Why is anybody going through and counting videos for him.. 2) Promoters (all) can only answer questions that they’re asked. Certain media outlets are the issue
Good luck to anyone buying tickets for Selhurst Park, was there Sunday, shocking view of the pitch.
He keeps telling me to look. Still looking for the best fights
Theres no chance Riakpore v CBS sells out Selhurst park
Did this guy do okolie in the rematch? Its not about " no one wants to see that rematch" its about contracts, period. We had 3 fury wilder fights despite " no one wants to see that rematch" from Frank Warren, when its was he who insisted on a 3rd fight in the 2nd fight negotiations.

Boring Ben. GMB should get the next Sky deal
Hes putting on great British fights in the uk on the nunber 1 platform, building a solid stable, i really dont understand the hate towards him.
Fair play to him. He’s young and got a golden ticket contract with sky. Always respect people who take the chance at starting a business from the ground.

This guy is so cringe!!! It's not jealously, you don't have the respect of your competitors because your unprofessional & out of your depth.
You wasted fighter’s time including your own fighters and promoters time on 5 different occasions! I can’t think of why frank wouldn’t like you… you came into the game talking about wanting to work together but when it came time to work together you didn’t want too!
Funny guy giving us a funny interview 🤣
Ben Whitaker is 26 years old, he should already be fighting big fights, he’s a old Prospect
Clueless and delusional. The only thing this guy is good at is pulling out of purse bids and making his fighters look like they're ducking. Frank Smith has forgotten more about operating in boxing and sport promotion than Ben will ever know.
