Kugan Cassius gets his own IFLTV show on Boxnation

Respect to Kugs

But I hope they don't give him a makeover, so he's just a bog standard Q&A man reading from an auto-cue because the reason why IFL worked so well was because it was almost ANTI TV

The dodgy camera work, odd swear words, bit of banter style, yeah he prepared for each interview but it was still the laid back thing that worked well. His interviews with Eddie Hearn were at times fascinating, revealing and funny and showed a side of boxing even I did not know and I'm massive boxing fan.

There is only so much you can say in 3 minute interview on TV. IFL gave you like 20-25 minute interview with fighter and promoters.

IFL gave you the feeling that you could do it and I'm not sure in the TV world, where he'll be working with producers, directors etc (Who may well know little about Boxing) and he'll have to watch his words more and he'll have the "5 seconds to the ad break kugs" in his ear.

Maybe that will take away something ?

His IFL TV was unique in that, he got right in there, in the dressing room, after the fight, before the fight, he got you to see these fighters in a different light, where they could chill, relax because he built up a bond with fighters, trainers and promoters, like a .."O yeah..it's kugs...how's it going ?"

Obviously this was always gonna happen, IFL was getting bigger and bigger, eventually the big boys was always gonna give him an offer he can't refuse, there is no going back now.
