My father wouldnt know how to use a mobile phone for example. Well today, I have moved in to the senile department.

Today is my 40th birthday and my wonderful wife bought me a new iPhone. And I duly took this along to meet with Eddie Hearn earlier, recording a fascinating interview with him. All was good until I got home to upload the file to my computer.

This being the first time I have used the iPhone, I accepted it kind offer to restore the music I had on iTunes from an older phone.

And by restore, I mean completely wipe everything that was on it before.

So my 20 minutes with Eddie is gone forever.

So from memory, here is what Eddie said: (paraphrased)

Eddie was talking to Adam Booth about coming back on how to get back on Sky, which is when Hayemaker brokered the deal. 4 Fight deal. Hearn said that Fury could face Puleuv for a couple of Hundred K and become mandatory or Haye for a couple of million - either way he is likely to lose, so which is the better offer?

Haye was disappointed in himself at his performane v Wlad.

Wants to get his belts back and would face either bro again.

Regards criticism labelled at him sending fighters - all of the fighters have the ultimate choice. And they all agree that the fights, albeit slim, are winnable. And should they put in a good performance, it doesnt harm them in the long run. And the purses on offer are 10 times what they would be fighting for at "RochdaleFootball club" in front of a home crowd. All are getting great pay days with very little downside. People who criticise dont understand that boxers are in it for the money and these fights make a life changing difference in the short and long term. He puts the fights in front of them, and they all have final say.

He cited Darren Barker as an example (as well as Rees and Purdy)

Froch is only 2 pounds over the weight limit with a month to go - in terrific shape.

Gonzalez is coming to face Ricky to win. He said that Gonzalez team really believe they will win it.

Ricky will not go up in weight to chase Broner - plenty of fights at his current weight.

Kell Brook is gutted but still the mandatory which will be in 9 months now. Kell is disappointed but optimistic about the future.

I am personally absolutely gutted as it was my personal best interview to date!

thats the point - it wiped everything from my iPhone when I updated it the first time I put it on my computer.

I also lost footage from another interview for a different section that I had video footage of.
