Tris DixonGUEST
And I, and I feel like there was a case in point this week, um, where the Sky, or last week, where the Sky machine got behind Johnny Fisher.
Tris DixonGUEST
And I'm not sure how it's done for views on Sky, but in terms of the arena, the venue at the Copper Box, where it's supposed to be Johnny Fisher's fortress, there was sort of about, I don't know, it seemed to be about 60% of the seats were empty, uh, with 40% of the arena c- cur- curtained off.
Tris DixonGUEST
So I don't feel like those traditional machines work the same way that they used to.
Tris DixonGUEST
Um, I think obviously one of the things DAZN always wanted right at the start, off the jump, was Premier League rights, and that would've been a, a real game changer for them.
KyleHOST
The clubs will be fighting for a share of $2.5 million in prizing.
KyleHOST
Uh, the club championship kickoff runs from December 9th to 13th, and will welcome a live studio... a live audience to the Copper Box Arena from the 11th to the 13th of December.
KyleHOST
Um, and there will...
KyleHOST
It is rumored to be an NA LAN to end the club championship season in March of 2027.
Dan KiernanHOST
Welcome to episode 305 of Control the Controllables.
Dan KiernanHOST
And what an exciting guest we have today, fresh from his Davis Cup debut in the Copper Box in London for Great Britain as they qualified for the World Finals with their win over Ecuador.
Dan KiernanHOST
And it's Toby Samuel, and not only fresh from that, winning his first ever match, his first ever tie for Great Britain, but also recently just moved into the world's top 100 ATP singles players.
Dan KiernanHOST
And what a story it's been.
Dan KiernanHOST
So firstly, a big congrats on that.
Dan KiernanHOST
And we'll jump into that and the story of you getting there, which is a lovely story.
Dan KiernanHOST
But also a big congrats on representing Great Britain and helping them to the finals at the Copper Box.
Dan KiernanHOST
How was...
Steve BunceHOST
He's been a brilliantly successful UFC guy, okay? And he's never promoted a fight anywhere near this before.
Steve BunceHOST
His show at the Copper Box in London had about 1,500 people just last week.
Steve BunceHOST
You know, there is no reason why he should be involved.
Steve BunceHOST
He's not involved with Tyson Fury, although he did take Tyson Fury to the White House back in June when Donald Trump had that UFC event on his lawn.
Joe PughHOST
Right, so we'll cut straight to it.
Joe PughHOST
How the fuck is Ginger Pele fighting big stacks at the Copper Box in 12 days' time?
James CollinsGUEST
Well, my good mate Adam Brooks obviously fights on Misfit, good mate of mine, known him for years from the good old New Bar days, all the West Ham boys, I know that.
James CollinsGUEST
And give me a call.
James CollinsGUEST
But I walk past it every day.
James CollinsGUEST
I go to every West Ham home game, work for the club.
James CollinsGUEST
I walk past the copper box every day, speak to West Ham fans along that way.
James CollinsGUEST
Luckily for me, I think it's probably the way I played, the relationship I got with the West Ham fans.
Joe PughHOST
Let's talk about moving forward because, I mean, quite a few fighters out there had their say.
Joe PughHOST
Some people who were present at the Copper Box and some people who weren't present.
Joe PughHOST
So let's just kind of obviously go for the obvious one.
Joe PughHOST
Gillian White said that if you two fought, you'd get, I think, what did he say, boshed? I think he used the word boshed.
Andy ScottHOST
You've got a real invested sort of knowledge of it because you trained a fighter to beat Johnny Fisher.
Andy ScottHOST
So Johnny Fisher beat Michael Puritan at the Copper Box.
Andy ScottHOST
I wonder if he sent out, Matt, the statement that he wanted to.
Andy ScottHOST
He got over the line just, didn't he? He was very, very tired.
Nick PeetHOST
There probably is an element to that.
Nick PeetHOST
There's also an element, dude, is last time he fought at the Copper Box, he got chinned by Dave Allen.
Nick PeetHOST
That's absolutely an element.
Nick PeetHOST
So I know he's had a win since, but that was in Monaco or whatever it was.
Nick PeetHOST
But what I'm trying to say is if your flagship main event isn't selling out the room and is probably never going to win, going to get to the level that is British title level, which again is a good level, but you're never going to get there.
Nick PeetHOST
then I've said this about Johnny Fisher for a long time, is the juice worth the squeeze? It used to be worth the squeeze for Matchroom because they sold the fucking place out.
Nick PeetHOST
And copper boxes are very difficult rooms to sell out, by the way.
Nick PeetHOST
And Johnny was pretty much doing it on his own.
Ariel HelwaniHOST
I was locked in.
Ariel HelwaniHOST
And I got to say, watching this, At the same time as the Zufa boxing fight, like it was palpable just how much better the event, the energy, the crowd was at the AO Arena compared to the Copper Box Arena in London.
Ariel HelwaniHOST
There was very little energy for Zufa boxing.
Ariel HelwaniHOST
That was Johnny Fisher's debut.
Ade OladipoHOST
Elsewhere, we're going to reflect on Johnny Fisher's Zufa debut.
Ade OladipoHOST
He scored a points victory over Michael Puritan at the Copper Box and has been called out for an all-British showdown with Dillian White, who was ringside.
Ade OladipoHOST
Is that the right direction of travel for the Romford Bull? And we're going to look here to this weekend's action as well.
Ade OladipoHOST
Ben Whittaker, the surgeon, is back in action on UK soil.
6 MINS LATER
Gareth A. DaviesHOST
And I saw Dana White quoted on there underneath Turkey.
Gareth A. DaviesHOST
I thought the fan here, you know, excuse my French.
Gareth A. DaviesHOST
bleep um because I just thought ah this is this is going to stick in the craw of Eddie Hearn and this is going to be a stumbling point and he came out didn't he that day and did several interviews straight away to say no I'm not having this and that's where we are then Dana White's in the UK with the Johnny Fisher fight or the the copper box event for zoo for in the uk and he's being questioned day after day after day and he's not committing too much other than saying look i was involved with netflix i was involved originally with medicine square garden i got netflix on board there's an impasse right now and it's between those two men and it is their egos in part as well They need to sit around a table like the flaming United Nations and get this over the line.
Gareth A. DaviesHOST
Otherwise, we are heading for a sporting disaster, in my view.
