I never said anywhere that AJ was a bum I simply stated it shows a moving of resources. Previously all heavyweight resources went to AJ and the others got the trickle down effect. The fact that you took "AJ is a bum" from my post shows the bias in your own views, don't paste that crap on to me. Stop defending when there has been no attack made, cringy ass boxER fans rather than boxING fans.
When matchroom does stuff like this, it is for a push. Khan got a lot of it when he was pretending he would face Brook then he he conned people and went and got sparked for money by Crawford. TV slots on regular basic free UK channels for boxers are rare now, very rare actually and in the UK AJ has had them absolutely sewn up but he has barely made an appearance of late. So it's not a leap of logic at all to look at this as Hearn making sure all avenues are open, because as long as they keep ignoring the drug issue Whyte is his most marketable heavyweight. If you are still confused after that very basic explanation you may need a walk and some fresh air.
Probably won't especially as he is neither bad enough to make good TV nor good enough to win which are the only 2 reasons it would have raised his profile. TV slots on day time tv in the UK are non existent for boxers though so I guess it's a matter of take what you can get. I also agree and it would serve Matchroom a right good dose of karma if he does leave if he gets a belt. Regardless of how I think of him and his drug issues, his career has not been handled well. Outwardly it appears it has been going ok but the amount of money wasted chasing the WBC and time wasted in 2017 and 18 is all on them.
I had mainly made the post hoping for some good B side cooking humour though and a few have delivered so thanks.
I don’t know but a guy like Dillian Whyte doesn’t have the cache to be a household name. He’s what he’s. If he had any star power, with how his name has been attached to AJ and the outlandish things he says - he should be one by now. He just needs to keep winning and be more like Del Boy.

The only show I can think of with any semblance to this that AJ did was the SAS one where he was involved in stunts.

Yeah maybe they should of done it the PBC way and got Whyte talking about wanting to kill people in the Boxing ring so he can get away with it.

Dillian just needs to keep winning and probably keep saying outlandish things without falsely accusing AJ of using TUEs, unless he wants to get clowned - and he’d be alright.
