āProbably the biggest mistake Iāve made, after Anthony Joshua lost to Andy Ruiz JR, people were like āoh Matchroom is on the ropes, whatās happening hereā so I wanted to bounce back with something big.ā
āSo there was a fight between Vasily Lomachenko, who was like a God of boxing at that stage, and Luke Campbell who we represented and was Olympic Gold medalist. I just spent too much on the fight. I wanted to bring Lomachenko to London, I was in love with him as a fighter but not really understanding his commercial value. We did very well, sold out the O2, but the pay-per-view didnāt hit the numbers and we were left with a big hole. Probably a million quid.ā
