Billy Saunders & Fury should both be ashamed of acting out like pathetic children. Everyone in boxing knows the sanctioning bodies pick the judges,& that BJS was taken under Hearns wing despite him slagging him off for years. But now this absolute tīt feels he has to cry to get sympathy,& had to get Fury to do his dirty work like always.
Hearn has just come out saying that BJS doesn't want to promote or commit to his media obligations at all & is leaving Canelo to do it for him. The petulant clown has holed up refusing to come out. And whenever he does he pretends he wasn't fully aware that the judges have ALWAYS been picked by the SAC,or that he wasn't aware of exactly the terms to the fight.(ffs that clown has a lawyer & a mob team behind him that look over every detail of the contract (especially BJS of all clowns whom takes forever to agree to a fight)Its like no sht the medias on Canelo & not on this underachieving lazy peakey blinder.
Hearns quotes:“They [Saunders] feel I’m favoring Canelo Alvarez. I’m not favoring Canelo Alvarez,” said Eddie Hearn to iFL TV. “Billy Joe has basically refused to do any media, so Canelo is doing all the media.
So, of course, the media attention is on Canelo Alvarez because Billy doesn’t want to do anything. He just doesn’t want to do any media. So this week he’s refused to do any media. Listen, that’s alright. It’s not unusual. Sometimes people don’t want to do it. They want to focus on the fight.
“Of course, you’re talking about a pound-for-pound star [Canelo] that everyone is talking about, and he’s doing bucketfuls of media,” said Hearn about Alvarez doing all the promoting for his fight with Saunders by doing the media work.
“So when people say, ‘I’m not hearing anything about Billy Joe,’ it’s because he’s not doing anything. He’s refused to post on social media.
“He doesn’t want to do any media, that’s fine,” said Hearn about Saunders. “He’s focused on the fight, that’s good. This is probably going to be good for Billy Joe. If he’s happy and carefree, maybe he won’t go in there and put on a great performance.
“There’s equal representation, but one [Canelo] is getting more attention [by the media] because he’s doing all the media,” said Hearn on why Canelo is getting more attention than Billy Joe.
“I think a little bit of it is him and Tyson want to wrap themselves up, it’s ‘us against the world’ mentality, which I think is great for them,” said Hearn on why Saunders is choosing to be reluctant about giving interviews.
“I’ve done everything I can for Billy Joe Saunders. I’ve backed him when people said I shouldn’t back him. I’ve delivered for him when others couldn’t deliver for him.
“I can’t do anything more than that. If you don’t want me around, I’ve given you the opportunity [against Canelo] to become a British boxing legend.
“He deserves this opportunity,” said Hearn in sounding like a diplomat in carefully choosing his words.
“I promote both guys,” said Hearn. “I’ve delivered this absolute huge fight for both of them, the fight they all wanted.
“In Billy Joe’s case, he joined Matchroom because he wanted me to make these kinds of fights. I delivered it for an absolute s*** load of money.
“If he says he’s not bothered about the money, he’s also getting the legacy. He’s getting everything he needs. Every word for that contract [with Saunders] will be honored.
“I went to see Canelo Alvarez, and I went to see Billy Joe Saunders. Canelo Alvarez does happen to be the #1 pound-for-pound, and he is the A-side for the fight. There’s a lot of attention around him,” said Hearn.
