Is Eddie Hearn a con artist or is he incompetent?

[Nash out]

Eddie Hills the fighter was a 3-0 warrior, as a promoter, he's Femi's 'yes man', but I like the dude. Nash out.

More boxing is ALWAYS better boxing. I watch it all and ignore the promoters.

They just doing their JOB!

Absolutely. I think last year there were 40 something cards on DAZN.

I enjoyed them all

[Smash]

all these promoters know what they are doing, they know what they want out of a situation and try to make it so, lying, spoofing, games, half truths, they dont care as long as they get what they want

Offered more money by DAZN, not Hearn. But Wilder's team turned it down because DAZN didn't have the rights to Joshua and couldn't guarantee the fight.

He was offered a three fight, $100 million dollar deal. As long as the money was guaranteed, so what if he didn't get an actual fight date with AJ up front? I bet Wilder wishes he had taken that deal now.

The deal was contingent on Joshua winning his next fight and contingent on DAZN getting Joshua to agree to the fights, which wasn't guaranteed.

Joshua ended up losing his next fight, so Wilder never would have gotten the hundred million. Not to mention we've seen with Canelo and GGG that DAZN often refuses to pay what they promised anyway.

Now, why would Hearn make an offer with contingencies that he hadn't worked out, particularly with his fighter Joshua agreeing to the fights?

The deal wasn't with Hearn. John Skipper was facilitating the deal on behalf of DAZN.

He was competent enough to hitch his wagon to Canelo and Joshua who bring in the most $ in boxing so he's doing something right. I wish I could be as incompetent as him in my buisness life lol

[Sctrojan]

No, Wilder didn't take far less money. Hearn offered $12 million to fight Joshua. Wilder made a lot more than that fighting Fury.

Pretty certain Wilder was to make $40mil for EACH of his 2 fights with Joshua had he accepted....

He waited too long to bring AJ to the US. He had the potential to be a star here in the states and an undisputed trilogy between 2 polar opposite guys who boast really high KO's would have made so much money.
