I think it was the way bellew fell and an instinctive reaction , when he got up he left him too it.
If anything his reaction just proved the bond is as a close as his words said rather than just a business deal for him
Yeah, i think Hearn was concerned that Bellew's head his the ropes à la Michael Watson.
i don't think Hearn was trying to help him up to continue, he knew it was done.
Hearn said in a post fight interview that he was thinking about taking the gum shield out but then Bellew got up.

Eddie Hearn gets very excited, he almost got Carl Froch DQ'ed against Lucien Bute when he jumped into the ring before the ref had actually waved it off.
I didn't notice because I was laughing too hard but did it come after the fight was waved off? I didn't think he would be allowed near the ring being that he wasn't part of the ringside crew. I think they're more strict about that in the states.
