It should give you 8 coins when it takes away 2 cards after playing a hand. Is that not triggering the ability?
#Matador doesn't trigger Boss Blind ability for removing 2 cards

what exactly triggers matador is somewhat unclear. A Boss that disables a suit for instance will trigger matador if you play and score that same suit. I think it's more about the cards within the hand, rather than the hand itself, clarification would be great though.
