Edward John Hearn has experienced one of the biggest falls from grace I've seen in sports. He's gone from being a extremely popular promoter here in the UK, with the exception of some Fury fans, to an outright laughing stock and his name/brand has been forever tarnished, all due to how badly he's mishandled the Benn scandal. I was a big fan of his prior to this especially when he was going at it with Shelly Finkel in the AJ - Wilder negotiations, now I can't help but feel like he duped me there too.
Edward will be fine, promoters have their ups and downs they ALL DO but people only like to focus on PBC I guess but yeah AJ lost, Canelo lost to Bivol, Benn Suspended might not bet he best time for him at the moment but the show goes on. His job is to find and build that next British Superstar the show must continue and I think Eddie will be fine
I do think Leaving SKY for DAZN UK will prove to be a HORRIBLE Move
Joshua and Hearn both been pi*p slapped by Tyson 'The King' Fury.
It's going to get worse for AJ and Hearn.
Hearn is doing a TON of spinning right now - isn't working. People are waking up to all his bull crap.
It has hurt his credibility, but tbh the biggest problem is that him leaving Sky was stupid, and his stable has gotten weaker in recent years. It was because of those reasons that he went to such lengths to defend Benn. A limited prospect trading on his dad's name wouldn't have been as important to him back when undefeated AJ was doing big numbers, or when he was boasting about his '$1B war chest to take over America', but things change and now he needs all the attractions he can get.
Eddie’s ego fooled him into believing he made Sky when in reality Sky made him. I was very surprised he left, the Hearn’s have a long-standing successful relationship with Sky not just with Boxing but with Darts, Snooker, Pool and other sports they promote. Maybe the money was too good to refuse but the move to DAZN has completely exposed him. Hearn is a charlatan, he doesn’t really know Boxing, I mean look at the first big fight he got behind: Haye vs Harrison- a complete disaster. He doesn’t have that ability to build fighters like a Frank Warren or a Bob Arum but with a platform like Sky behind you, you can mask that. You can sign ready built stars like Froch, Groves, DeGale, Bellew, Cleverly, Chisora, Brook etc. You don’t have that same privilege at DAZN.
Now look here sire! Eddies a good lad, smells like lemon pledge, walks old ladies cross the avenue. Eddie does confessions for the priests.
Lmfao. This was good.
It gets stranger by the minute, since Benn starting blaming the result on Eggs the B sample was tested, and was found to contain a plastic toy from a Kinder Egg!!
Alright Alright im ****ing off now!!
those kinder things were also contaminated recently LMAO, maybe thats the source of it all

He is no different than any top promoter. They are only faithful to money and shamelessly will say anything.
They have the slick tongue and now how to deliver the lies.
Unfortunately promoters is a necessary evil.
Sorry but I had to laugh it this. Hearn is just as much a greedy scumbag as any other promoter. Why it takes something like this to get posters to admit it is kinda funny.
He had a much more loyal fanbase though. I’ve never seen a promoter develop that sort of cult following. He could honestly do no wrong in a lot of their eyes. This Benn fiasco seems to have finally opened a lot of their eyes though.
He’s hung himself with a rope tied up by his own lies. I saw through Hearn years ago. I’m honestly surprised it’s taken this long- have to give Hearn some credit in that regard, he conned the feeble minded for years.

May the ghost of Patrick Day haunt Hearn for deliberately trying to put another fighters life @ risk by letting a juiced Benn fight after testing positive the first time
