Why is everything becoming so promoter-ized? And why are merrkans so vexed by Eddie Hearn? Do they not realise that when he said he was “taking over America he didn’t mean he was guna sit in the White House and make new laws and pillage the land for its burger meat.

when did it stop actually being about the fighters?

At that time though you were taking on domestic level British fighters....Haney is a whole different kettle of fish. However, having said that, best of luck Linares.

It stopped when promoters everwhere became an obstacle to fights being signed. It's been discussed for years even on this site. Yes, some people seem to target one promoter more tan an another (i've been accused of this) but my view applis to all of them.

Where do you want me to start? The side deals? The fat boys for AJ? The commission shopping? The unconscionable contracts? The rematches and options? The shocking upsets? That's his upside. He meddles to where it has to be an upset. Eddy is his own show, he loves it.

Linares is justified in his assessment. If Eddy had any faith in Haney, he wouldn't be fooling with Gamboa or Linares, but he doesn't. Linares is fighting Eddy's perception as much as Haney, Eddy hired him to lose.
