Matchroom Sport Released A Trailer For The Netflix Doc ‘Matchroom: The Greatest Showmen’

This documentary, at first glance, has an element of the other Netflix documentary WWE: Unreal, which debuted last month. Fans and people in general have a greater interest in these “exclusive scenes” and seeing “how the meal is prepared,” so to speak. Knowing this, the documentary will likely be a hit just as it was for WWE: Unreal. This will be a six-episode documentary, and the credits highlight that it was filmed in Essex, Atlantic City (NJ), Dallas (TX), Los Angeles (CA), Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), and Manila (Philippines).

Here are some quotes from the Hearns about the documentary.

Matchroom Sport President Barry Hearn OBE said: “Sports fans will absolutely love this. For over four decades, Matchroom has proved itself to be one of the true, global British business triumphs. But we’re not normal. And for that reason we have always had to stand away from the crowd and defy what is ‘normal’ from a traditional, corporate business sense. This series shows all of that, and more. It is warts and all – and the story has got a lot of ‘Succession’ in it. You’ve got me, the old, grey-haired geezer that started the company is used to getting his own way, and then the young son comes in, who is dynamic, and all the other kids as well, Frank Smith, Matt Porter and Emily Frazer. Do not miss it.”

Matchroom Sport Chairman, Eddie Hearn said: “This is a big day for our company and we are very proud to showcase our story to a global audience on Netflix. It’s ‘Succession’ meets ‘Drive to Survive’ as we bring you an unprecedented look at the up-close-and-personal drama from the biggest and best live events on the planet across Boxing, Darts, Snooker and Multi Sports. You are seeing the likes of Luke Littler and Ronnie O’Sullivan like never before and what really happened behind-the-scenes at Benn-Eubank Jr, Taylor-Serrano II, and AJ against [Daniel] Dubois.

“Away from the live action, you’re seeing all the backstage dramas in the dressing rooms, the press conferences, the arguments… it is so compelling. You’re also seeing another world, whereby young entrepreneurs are making their own journey through the company within all of our hugely successful sports. Then you’ve got the family dynamic of me and my dad. It’s unusual to have a series like this that covers all of those dynamics. It is pure, unrivalled entertainment – and, for any true sports fan, it is unmissable. And it’s a lot of fun.”
