Is Eddie Hearn a con artist or is he incompetent?

Lol the baddest man on the planet?

He was the #1 boxer on earth and the most feared puncher on earth, so yes, the baddest man on the planet.

Lol hahaha, yeah lol OK if you say so. He ducked half the division, nobody was scared of him. He's a big puncher, he's dangerous but ppl claimed he seemed to avoid fighting anybody good and when he does he's going to get found out and that is exactly what happened.

The words Michael Grant come to mind.

I know that you're a troll and only here to spout propaganda, but for new and naive posters who don't know any better, it's important to point out that Wilder didn't duck anyone.

He fought King Kong twice and knocked him out both times. He fought Fury three times. He flew overseas to fight Povetkin in enemy territory and Povetkin cheated. He offered Joshua the $50 million he wanted, even though he risked making very little if the fight tanked. He won his title from the #2 heavyweight in the world instead of waiting for a vacant title. He never ducked anyone. He wasn't the most skilled. But balls? He had tons of balls.

Boxing isn't like it used to be. Now all you need is to be a youtuber. I remember most of these fights where you needed true grit. https://shrinke.me/The-bestko

In a recent interview, Bob Arum brought up the fact that Eddie Hearn didn't bother to attend the WBC convention this year and wasn't there to lobby on behalf of Dillian Whyte when the purse split for Fury-Whyte was being debated.

For the last four years, Hearn's public statements about the WBC rules, how you become mandatory, the rights of a silver champion, the rights of an interim champion, how final eliminators work, etc have been so consistently wrong that I've always just assumed Hearn is a con artist trying to fool the public.

But Arum's interview made me think about the possibility that Hearn is just incompetent and doesn't understand sanctioning body rules and how they operate. How could he have bungled Whyte's situation over and over for so long and then not even have anyone at the WBC convention to plead Whyte's case?

Most major promoters have people on the payroll whose job it is to study sanctioning body rules for any quirks that can be used to their advantage. PBC's promoters have pulled off all sorts of successful rules maneuvers that have left Hearn confused and upset. Is Hearn just incompetent at this aspect of his job? When he claims WBC interim champions are entitled to 45% of a purse bid, is it possible he's really just not aware that hasn't been the rule in over a decade? When he claims that being silver champion makes you the mandatory, is it possible he's really just not aware that the silver title has never made you mandatory?

Serious question. Have I been giving Hearn too much credit the last few years and the truth is that he just has no idea what he's doing?

In case u havnt noticed. There ALL used car sales men. U too with a name like u got and this ****** TOPIC.

Since you bring up "canelo didn't have to ask" then I assume youre aware that they had concerns of this "$50mil" offer. It was nothing more than an offer from Finkle written in crayon and was to self destruct in 24hrs like some inspector gadget shiet....where as the HEAD of Dazn brought in Wilder,sat him down in thier corporate office and offered Wilder a 3 fight deal worth a $100mil,2 of those 3 fights against Joshua. Surely you can see the difference in legitimacy of those offers right??

As far as Hearn being a crook? They all are crooks and you're a damn fool if uncle all started PBC for the sole purpose of the well being of their roster. If anything, hes the biggest crook of them all trying to strong arm us into having to pay $80 for ****ty arse matches that belong on regular network television.

That's hilarious as Canelo had to sue DAZN after they no longer wanted to honor the contract they agreed to. Then Canelo went and got his career high payday with Haymon and Showtime afterward.

You know how silly it sounds to accuse Wilder's offer as illegitimate? Haymon made Mayweather, Pacquiao, Canelo and McGregor more than $50 million in 1 fight. In fact the only time any boxer has made over $50 million in 1 night was when Haymon was involved.

If you look at how Joshua's career has gone since, it's hilarious that he turned down the $50 million. He could have done a trilogy with Wilder and made over $120 million in three fights, become a huge star in the US regardless of who won the trilogy, and at worst would be sitting now with two losses, which he ended up with anyway.

Yeah it's quite sad. AJ was down with the offer too, but Hearn's incompetent ass screwed that up. AJ has really fallen from grace. In fact I think Hearn could have even secured Fury with Matchroom, but he bungled that as well.

That is the problem when you're born on third base and think you hit a triple.

Hearn is incredibly talented, but still very naive about certain aspects of the business.

Also, to leave Sky Sports, which you know will be around forever, to go all in on DAZN, which is destined for bankruptcy, was such a short sighted move.

What does Canelos contract issues with DAZN,which was after the offer to Wilder,have to do with Wilder turning down an offer from the horses mouth?? Nothing, unless Wilder and Finkel were prophetic....

Wilder isn't,and never became anywhere near the stars May,Pac and Canelo became so inferring Finkel/Haymon,PBC....whomevers offer was legitimate because of that, is "silly" isn't it? Oh, and im pretty certain Joshua made over $50mil in Saudi Arabia...Let's stick to the facts of these offers though 1. an email offer,questionable structured pay out with a deadline of 24hrs or some ****** window like that....versus 2. A writin out contract worth $100mil slid across the table to Wilder to sign....?? Which Wilder decline because he got his feelings hurt over not knowing what Joshua got.

As far as who "bungled" what,who do you think has had and will have the higher career earnings since then? Joshua,and by far.....
