Hearn's involvement and attitude towards the Ricky Burns situation has been horrible. Barry Hearn refuses to accept any kind of responsibility even though it was their lawyers that told Burns that he was free to join them.

Originally posted by Dirk Diggler UK View PostPorter is better than Rios. It's an OK match-up. It's just the way Hearn will run down Algieri and then book Rios as Brook's "big summer blockbuster" fight without a shred of irony.
Would Rios even beat Algieri? I thought Rios lost damn near every round to Richar Abril who is fighting Derry Matthews next

PPV should be reserved for PPV fighters or a PPV worthy fight.
Who the fuk knows who Kevin Mitchell or Lee Selby are? Anthony Joshua is a growing star but he's not a PPV fighter yet. It's a very very good card for normal Sky Sports but should not be PPV.
I'm sure he was planning on doing Brook-Gavin as a PPV next year and this is just his way of sneaking it out early because he's under pressure to deliver.

Ultimately though i doubt Eddie did anything that Burns himself didnt want to do. Burns just hit financial trouble at the wrong time in his career.

Spot on on all accounts. I wasn't sure about the quigg framton situation though , Hearn says they have to put up the money and they will get it where they want. to me that made sense but it was clearly a publicity stunt that wasn't feasible ?

But I still dont think its PPV. Who's going to buy it? A few thousand hardcore fans maybe? fights like these have to be on 'free' sky imo. Get these fighters out there and known.

Originally posted by Greed. View PostIt's ridiculous. The Newcastle and this weekends Leeds shows are absolutely awful but the first good card that we get(May 30th) is on PPV. So why would a boxing fan even bother paying for sky sports if all the best fights are on box office?
